What Happened To DaBaby?

Another controversy for DaBaby.

The Grammy-nominated entertainer had a controversial run-in with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg metro police. He was arrested for marijuana possession shortly after he finished his concert.

On his own home turf.



It became a public relations nightmare for the police and they're doing an internal investigation into the matter.

The CMPD is being accused of racial profiling the high profile rapper DaBaby after he finished his concert. He was charged with weed possession on Monday night. Known legally as Jonathan Kirk, the rapper told the junk food media, that cops "absolutely" targeted him and "unlawfully searched" his car once he finished performing at the Bojangles' Coliseum.

"Black excellence right her in our own city, (and) they hate it," said DaBaby on social media.

The incident has the CMPD internal affairs looking into the matter. The police have a history which driven the matter into the forefront. Many of the arrests for minor possession were harsher for Blacks than Whites.

In February 2016, the Charlotte Observer cited analysis that showed between 2014 and 2016, African American were arrested higher than non-Black citizens. There were 762 and just 64 whites.

According to the cops, they smelled a "strong odor of marijuana" coming from DaBaby's white Dodge Challenger before his concert in the city. They observed "marijuana" in plain view inside the vehicle while utilizing their flashlights.

DaBaby donated toys and clothes to Charlotte. Performed a concert shortly after. Arrested later that night.

DaBaby refused to speak with cops after the concert ended. He was detained and later cited for resisting arrest, obstruction and delay of arrest and marijuana charges.

"They pull us over for no reason....they treat us like animals," DaBaby told the junk food media after being released from lock-up.

Earlier that day, the entertainer was giving gifts to underprivileged children in the community.

The entertainer warned his crew has "high-resolution video and audio" from the incident that would document that DaBaby did not resist arrest -- thrusting the CMPD into the controversy.

Even in the spirit of the holidays, DaBaby still keeps 'em coming.

Someone died last night while the police department wasting resources and officers to harass me in attempt to make a bad example out of me. When in reality, i’m the most positive example the city of Charlotte got. Especially for anybody in the streets of Charlotte and the KIDS.

The charges are misdemeanors punishable for up to 1 year in the iron college, plus fines and community service. In the state of North Carolina that is a class D misdemeanor.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
