According to a police report obtained by TMZ on Friday (Jan. 3), DaBaby was detained by the Miami Police Department on Thursday outside the Novotel hotel in Brickell section of Miami. Speaking with Miami’s Local 10 news outlet, Miami police spokeswoman Kenia Fallat told the local news outlet that DaBaby was taken into police headquarters to be questioned regarding a robbery investigation. He was arrested on a battery charge that day.
In the police report, a detective writes that the conflict started after one of the victims, a concert promoter, was $10,000 short on a $30,000 payment he and DaBaby had agreed to for a Thursday (Jan. 2) performance at Cafe Iguanas Pines. That victim, identified in the police report as Victim 1, claims that a “verbal altercation” ensued before DaBaby punched a second victim, identified as Victim 2, in the face. From there, Victim 1 says DaBaby’s team stepped in and robbed the promoter.
In the police report, it’s said that DaBaby’s team stole Victim 1’s credit card, his iPhone 7 and $80. They say people with DaBaby also covered the victim in apple juice. Authorities say DaBaby and his team fled in a black SUV.
At 4:50, DaBaby returned to the hotel lobby where Victim 1 identified him as the person who attacked Victim 2.
Prior to his arrest, cell phone footage of a robbery allegedly involving DaBaby’s team surfaced. The video allegedly shows the rapper’s team robbing the promoter.
DaBaby has been in custody at the Turner Guilfield Knight Correctional Center in Miami since his arrest. According to Local 10 DaBaby will be held without bond because of an arrest warrant issued in Texas. He will remain behind bars until he sees a judge sometime today.
