    DaBaby was arrested in Miami on Thursday in connection with a robbery investigation.

    According to a police report (via TMZ), the “Suge” rapper allegedly robbed a victim — a concert promoter — of $80, a credit card, and an iPhone before dousing him with apple juice. DaBaby apparently became angry after the promoter shorted him of $10,000.

    DaBaby is being charged with battery and remains in custody as of Friday morning. According to the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department, he’ll likely be extradited to Texas, where he has an outstanding warrant.

    In a video of the robbery obtained by TMZ, three people — allegedly members of DaBaby’s crew — can be seen jumping a man, taking his money, and grabbing other belongings as well. Afterwards, they hopped into a black SUV and drive off, leaving the victim on the ground.

    This news arrives barely a week after DaBaby was cited for marijuana possession and resisting arrest in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was confronted by police after performing a concert at the Bojangles Coliseum. Earlier in 2019, DaBaby was arrested for an alleged attack inside a Walmart that took place in November 2018.

    Police run-ins aside, DaBaby had plenty to celebrate in 2019. He released Kirk, gave a hypnotizing Saturday Night Live performance, and his songs landed on best-end lists by everyone from JAY-Z to Barack Obama. Not too shabby for the type of breakout year he had.
