DaBaby just might the hottest new rapper in the game.
And the fact that he shot and killed a man last November during a dispute in a Huntersville, North Carolina Walmart won’t be derailing his career.
Charlotte rapper DaBaby was found guilty of a weapons charge on Thursday in connection to a fatal shooting in a North Carolina Walmart, a spokeswoman for the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office confirmed on Friday.
DaBaby, whose given name is Jonathan Lyndale Kirk, was tried before a District Court judge who found him guilty of misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon, DA’s office spokeswoman Meghan McDonald told The Charlotte Observer.
The 27-year-old rapper was sentenced to a year of unsupervised probation, according to McDonald.
DaBaby was charged in connection with the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Jalyn Domonique Craig of Charlotte during a fight in the Walmart on Bryton Town Center Drive in Huntersville on Nov. 5.
