Rapper DaBaby arrested on Rodeo Drive on 2 gun charges
Grammy-nominated artist DaBaby was arrested Thursday in Beverly Hills, Calif., and charged with two gun crimes.
The “Rockstar” rapper, 29, was shopping with friends on Rodeo Drive when a security guard noticed one person carrying a gun and called the cops, the Associated Press reported.
DaBaby, whose legal name is Jonathan Kirk, was the only one booked, according to the AP. His three pals were briefly detained but then released.
DaBaby was formally charged with carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a loaded gun in a vehicle, the AP reported.
He spent about two hours in a Los Angeles County jail before posting $35,000 bond, according to online jail records. He’s due back in court Monday.
In January 2020, DaBaby was arrested in Miami on a battery charge, but the charge was dropped in March.
DaBaby is nominated for four Grammy Awards at March’s postponed show, three of them for the smash-hit “Rockstar.” He also got two nominations last year for “Suge.”
