Video undercuts DaBaby's self-defense claim in 2018 killing

[Teletubby 149,689]

DaBaby shot and killed 19-year-old Jaylin Craig in a Walmart in 2018.

The rapper swears he acted in self-defense, but never-before-seen footage raises doubts about his story.

From the footage obtained by Rolling Stone, DaBaby appears to be the initial aggressor in the situation, calling into question the rapper’s self-defense claim.

Craig’s family members and his best friend, Henry Douglas, claim the altercation only started when DaBaby became annoyed that the teens had recognized him, and he allegedly demanded they take things outside for a fight.

DaBaby claimed to police that one of the teens had first suggested they should fight but the footage shows Craig standing nearby as DaBaby sucker punches Douglas.

DaBaby has always maintained that he acted in self-defense; a loving father protecting his 2 young children and his then-partner while the family was shopping.

He claimed to police that Craig and Douglas had been eyeing him up and lurking until they finally approached him, allegedly threatening him and brandishing a gun, leading Kirk to draw his own weapon and shoot, killing Craig.

The case was closed in June 2019. Kirk wasn’t prosecuted for Craig’s death, but was charged and convicted of carrying a concealed weapon and sentenced to 12 months’ probation with a suspended jail sentence.

Stop giving accessories credit for successes

And I’m still wondering why gagadaily continues to give this man attention every day. There’s literally a thread about him EVERY time I look at GAGAdaily. Sad. We should strive to give him less attention and let him wither into oblivion.

How often are you looking at GGD? Cause I haven't seen a new thread on him in weeks/months.

Not his stans still defending him and his actions.  What an ugly human.

As much as I hate to say this, Da Baby’s version of Levitating is the one that’s more successful and charted for the majority of 2021. So it’s his song as well.

Levitating (ft. DaBaby) 1.3 billion streams

Levitating (solo) 487 million streams

They just removed his version from the radio but never deleted it from streaming platforms because they know it’s successful.

I am actually really upset Dua Lipa would be okay to have him on Levitating. He has always been problematic. Like, this is so bad. 

I wonder if she will remove his version from streaming platforms? It would be a joke if Gaga removed DWUW featuring R Kelly due to sexual assault but Dua kept the Levitating remix even though the evidence is mounting that DaBaby killed someone intentionally. I am so disgusted.

They will obviously not remove it. It has like 1.3 billion streams and it’s still charting worldwide. As much as Dua fans hate to admit, it is her biggest hit.
