DaBaby Sued For $6 Million For Alleged Assault Of Promoter

DaBaby’s legal issues aren’t going away anytime soon.

Concert promoter Kenneth Carey just filed a lawsuit against DaBaby, his entertainment company and crew that were with him when Baby allegedly assaulted and robbed him in early January. He alleges the rapper not only illegally battered him but also turned his back on a deal they'd struck to host an event.

Carey wants "well above $6 million" for battery, breach of contract, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. 

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Carey says that the altercation occurred because DaBaby's request to be paid more for a party appearance was turned down. DaBaby and Carey supposedly agreed on a fee of $20,000 for the former to host Stunna 4 Vegas' birthday celebration at a nightclub - a fee that was lower than usual since Stunna is DaBaby's friend and label signee. 

The lawsuit states that Carey rented cars for the rapper and his team when they got to Miami. After one of the cars was returned damaged, DaBaby was billed for it. He asked Carey to be paid another $10,000 to cover this cost, but the promoter refused. This disagreement apparently fuelled DaBaby's frustration and resulted in him and his team beating, robbing, pantsing and pouring apple juice on Carey. 

Following this incident, DaBaby was arrested and charged for battery. He says that he will emerge unscathed from this lawsuit after being released from jail. "Don't allow yourself to be [misled] by janky promoters and lazy ass grown men itching for the opportunity to file a lawsuit that they won't win," DaBaby wrote on Instagram after he was released from jail. "I remain composed and focused knowing allegations made without honesty and integrity will never be honored by the most high."
