It is a known fact that DaBaby has been known to get into violent altercations.
He has also shot, punched, kicked, and slapped people. He has had many altercations with the law since he blew up on the scene. Until recently, many people didn’t know until recently that he killed a man in North Carolina but wasn’t charged for it because it was deemed self-defense.
Jaylin Craig’s family has always disputed that but didn’t have any hard evidence to back up their claim, so it became a he said/she said situation.
Today though, Rolling Stone has shined more light on that altercation, and while things aren’t crystal clear, but aren’t as blurry.
Rolling Stone has obtained never-before-seen security footage of the fatal altercation that appears to contradict key aspects of Kirk’s version of events. From the footage, the rapper appears to be the initial aggressor in the situation, calling into question DaBaby’s self-defense claim. To Craig’s family, the video footage raises some serious questions; most important, would Jaylin Craig still be alive if Kirk hadn’t thrown the first punch?
While Kirk claimed to police that one of the teens had first suggested they should fight, the footage shows Craig standing nearby as Kirk sucker punches a blindsided Douglas, barreling into him and striking him in the face. The injury left Douglas with a bruised eye socket and a gash in his forehead that required stitches.
At one point immediately after Kirk’s initial attack on Douglas, Craig appears in one block of footage to pull out a gun from his waistband, but as he walks out of frame, he appears to begin to put it back. Other footage from later on in the fight, in which it’s unclear whether or not Craig is still brandishing his gun, then shows Kirk pulling out a concealed Glock from his waistband and mortally wounding Craig. Officials later determined, based on the security footage, witness testimony, and a weapon found near Craig’s body, that Craig had a gun on him, but it’s inconclusive if Craig was brandishing the gun as he approached the two men.
“In my eyes, I feel like [Jaylin] was murdered,” Curtis says. “And [Kirk] got away with it. Everything he [does] is pretty much the same thing. He’s assaulting people, he’s getting away with it. Every case that you look at, they’re dismissing it. Why is he getting off?”
“I don’t look at him as no DaBaby,” Horsley says. “I look at him like, ‘You’re Jonathan Kirk and you murdered Jaylin Craig.’”
This isn’t a smoking gun, but it is pretty straightforward. If DaBaby didn’t start the altercation, there wouldn’t have been a shooting, and it is also clear that Craig had a gun, but it looks like he never pulled or pointed it at DaBaby.
Since then, DaBaby has continued to assault people, and he recently just shot someone who wandered onto his property.
