*Of late, rapper DaBaby seems to be piling up cases against himself. Will he handle all of them well? Already, he is showing signs he can’t deal with all of them simultaneously. So why is he allegedly committing more crimes?
In 2021, he allegedly assaulted one Gary Pager; the case is still pending. The incident supposedly occurred in North Carolina after Pager, a property owner, tried to enforce “basic rental rules” in a property he was renting to DaBaby.
The contract stipulated that the home could hold no more than 12 people at any given time and that no filming would occur. But the property owner found DaBaby hosting 40 people and a film crew.
They were attempting to film a music video when he popped in and tried to stop them. That’s when DaBaby came forth and punched him in the face.

Having punched the landlord, the “BOP” rapper and his guests fled the scene before the cops arrived, but not before damaging property worth thousands of dollars, including a security camera.
According to the landlord, the rapper also didn’t pay the entire lease.
Moreover, he allegedly stole “valuable kitchenware.”
As the Pager case in North Carolina takes shape, the rapper is also being sued for over $2 million over an alleged assault, this time by a hotel employee identified as Cristofher Pocasangren. The hotel employee wants compensation for the infliction of emotional distress and other damages. The incident occurred in December 2019 at a Marriott Hotel where Pocasangren worked.
Pocasangren had asked the rapper for a photo, a request which the latter refused. But the hotel employee still went ahead and took a picture, an act which amounted to infringing on the 28-year-old rapper’s space. DaBaby ordered him to delete the photo. Pocasangren obliged, but he alleges that when the rapper bumped into him again, he (the rapper) followed him into the hotel and assaulted him.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the entire incident was faithfully recorded by the hotel’s security cameras. DaBaby had initially claimed it was the hotel employee who attacked him first and that he only reacted in self-defense, but the cameras’ footage told a different story.
A hearing was set for this April for the case involving the landlord, but DaBaby now wants it pushed back because it will interfere with the case involving the hotel employee. So which case will the court handle first? Time will tell.
In the legal documents, his attorney said, “If the trial date is not continued, [DaBaby] will not be able to respond to discovery or testify without providing information that could potentially incriminate him in the parallel criminal case. The trial date must be continued to protect [DaBaby’s] Fifth Amendment rights.”

The attorney adds, “[He] cannot be called to testify in this matter until after his criminal case [the one against the hotel employee]has been resolved, which will not be until October 2023, at minimum.”
