In 2022, DaBaby was charged with a felony and accused of punching a Los Angeles County rental property owner during an unauthorized music video shoot. The rapper has now agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor simple battery, TMZ reports and Pitchfork can confirm. As a result of the plea agreement, DaBaby was also sentenced to one day in the Los Angeles County Jail (which he has served), one year of probation, and ordered to pay $10,000 in restitution to the victim.
The incident involving DaBaby and the owner of the rental property, Gary Pagar, took place in 2020. Pagar, in a lawsuit, claims that DaBaby rented out one of his properties for a “private vacation,” promising no more by 12 people on the website. Instead, DaBaby reportedly hosted 40 people and a film crew to shoot a music video. Pagar, who is now 68, says DaBaby attacked him when he tried to enforce the rules of his ability. The civil trial is scheduled to begin in September, according to Rolling rock.
Pitchfork reached out to DaBaby's attorney, Blair Bernholz Berk, for comment on the rapper's plea and sentencing.
