The incident happened over a disagreement with a concert promoter about money, according to a police report. The police report says the concert promoter was meeting up with DaBaby and his crew to pay for a gig. The promoter supposedly gave DaBaby $20,000 for an upcoming concert but DaBaby says he was owed $30,000, according to the police report.
The concert promoter says that’s when DaBaby punched the man he was with in the face, according to the police report. He goes on to say that DaBaby and several other men began attacking him, according to the police report. The report also says someone poured apple juice on the concert promoter while he was on the ground. Police classified the incident as a strongarm robbery.
The victim claims DaBaby and his crew took his iPhone 7, a Bank of America credit card and approximately $80 in cash.
The alleged robbery was caught on camera and posted online by TMZ.
DaBaby was arrested a short time later and seen being taken away in handcuffs. He was granted a $1,500 bond but officials at the jail in Miami say he is not being released because he has a warrant out of Texas.
DaBaby was also cited and detained on December 23rd in Charlotte, North Carolina following a concert at Bojangles’ Coliseum. Kirk was issued a citation for misdemeanor possession of marijuana and released from custody, according to police.
