DaBaby issues an apology after video surfaces of the rapper striking a woman at Tampa venue
According to TMZ, soon after the assault, the crowd booed the rapper, who left the venue without performing a song. At press time, no charges were filed against DaBaby, real name Jonathan Kirk.— “Who know shawty government name so my lawyer can get active?” he wrote atop a still image of the assault video — before turning to his Instagram Stories to formally apologize to the victim, adding that he didn’t know the person holding to phone was a woman.
“I do sincerely apologize. I do,” DaBaby said. “I’m very sorry that there was a female on the other end of that flashlight on their phone. But you know, keep in mind, I couldn’t see you because you got the flash this close to me. Which is okay, it’s no problem. A lot of people did — they didn’t put it as close as you put it — but a lot of people had flash on me, and that’s okay. That’s what I signed up for.
The rapper continued, “But out of all them fans—how many people know how to zoom in? Just zoom in instead of popping me in the motherfucking eye with the phone. But I do apologize that there was a female on the other end. I think by this time, you know it’s a well known fact that male or female, I would’ve responded the same exact way.”
