While DaBaby was never prosecuted for the death of Craig, he was charged with a carrying a concealed weapon.

DaBaby was on the verge of superstardom when he was cleared in the 2018 murder of Jaylin Craig, but new video sheds doubt on self-defense claim.

Leaving a trail of blood as he stumbles away, Craig collapses to the floor at the other end of the aisle. Walmart surveillance footage reviewed by Rolling Stone shows Craig and Douglas rolling through the entrance of the store around 6:30 p.m. local time, laughing. After DaBaby was vindicated, he bragged about the killing numerous times in music, causing further pain for the Craig family. Craig’s mother, LaWanda Horsley, was shocked DaBaby was able to skirt the more serious charge of murder and wind up with probation for carrying a concealed weapon. I’m not doing this for no fame or anything, because at the end of the day, Jaylin Craig is gone.” In the clip, DaBaby reportedly throws the first punch at Craig’s friend Henry Douglas and splits his forehead open, which later requires stitches.

New security camera footage of the incident shows DaBaby appearing to start the fight, per the outlet. Charges against the rapper were dropped in March 2019 ...

This was due to the fact that prosecutors could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in self-defense." This video shows a fight that got way out of hand very fast, and that resulted in somebody dying." "Going up and pushing a person who is brandishing a firearm, or who she can see has a firearm is really, really risky business," Owens said. Kirk's version of events painted a different picture of the incident. Kirk appears to have started the altercation by charging at Douglas. Kirk is then seen taking out his gun and firing several shots.

DaBaby has been involved in another violent altercation, this time with Charlotte rapper Wisdom, whose album was released on DaBaby's label.

DaBaby’s rapper Drew Findling later blasted the lawsuit as “garbage”, issuing a statement to Rolling Stone saying, “It is offensive that this alleged victim threatened and instigated violence and has now used this incident to make a quick money grab. Kirk and Wisdom have also been embroiled in a scandal together before. The pair’s altercation adds to a list of recent controversies involving Kirk. Just last week, a shooting took place at his home in North Carolina, leaving one person injured.

The Walmart footage at the center of the new Rolling Stone piece was included in a police file on Craig’s case retrieved by Horsley last April. From there, DaBaby is alleged to have told Craig and Douglas they should go outside and fight, despite his own comments to police alleging instead that one of the two friends had been the first to make such a remark. As previously reported, the shooting took place at a Walmart in North Carolina on Nov. 5, 2018.

I’m not doing this for no fame or anything, because at the end of the day, Jaylin Craig is gone.” Lawyers … telling me not to say nothing … But two [people] walk down on you and your whole … family, threatening y’all, whip out [a gun] on y’all, let me see what y’all going to do.” DaBaby has previously addressed the Walmart shooting on numerous occasions. “No disrespect to my boy Tyrese man [crying face emoji] but what y’all n-ggas got goin on bruh??” he wrote in his Instagram caption. “Like damn bruh,” he added. According to the 30-year-old rapper, this is just the latest attempt to assassinate his character.

Si on se fie uniquement à la vidéo, le rappeur semble avoir commencé l’altercation en chargeant Henry Douglas. Jaylin Craig semble alors sortir une arme, mais on ne sait pas s’il la range. On voit alors DaBaby sortir son arme et tirer plusieurs coups de feu. DaBaby, d’après sa version des faits, aurait agi en état de légitime défense lorsqu’il a abattu le jeune homme.

Le média américain Rolling Stone a dévoilé ce dimanche soir de nouvelles vidéos de l'altercation qu'avait eu DaBaby dans un magasin...

Forcément, cette vidéo pourrait remettre en cause la version du rappeur ainsi que le verdict du procès, et on imagine en tout cas que la défense de la famille de Jaylin Craig tentera de s’en servir afin de faire condamner pour meurtre DaBaby. C’est une affaire qui aura marqué le début de carrière d’un DaBaby qui s’en était finalement bien sorti face à la justice. En novembre 2018, alors qu’il se trouvait dans un magasin Walmart de Caroline du Nord, le rappeur né à Cleveland va être l’auteur de coups de feu qui vont mortellement toucher un jeune homme de 19 ans, nommé Jaylin Craig. Interpellé dans la foulée, il va immédiatement reconnaître les faits en expliquant avoir été approché par 2 hommes armés – parmi lesquels sa victime – qui ont tenté de le voler, alors qu’il se trouvait en famille.

DaBaby shot and killed 19-year-old Jaylin Craig in 2018, a shooting the rapper claims was in self-defense. New security footage obtained by Rolling Stone shows ...

RS suggests this video contradicts DaBaby's self-defense narrative, as he appears to be the aggressor in this situation -- at least based on what they posted. He was with his GF and baby girl in the store. As you know, he's been involved in countless physical altercations over the years. While Rolling Stone appears to be questioning DaBaby's story of protecting himself, others have seen this video and agreed ... he had every right to pull his own gun and fire once Craig pulled his, especially since he wasn't the one directly involved in the fistfight. Craig appears to reach for and even brandish what was later determined to be a gun on his person -- but RS says his grieving family insists he never would've had to resort to grabbing it if not for DB's aggressive behavior setting this whole thing in motion. DaBaby hasn't shied away from this case ... insisting from the jump he was acting in self-defense -- claiming the victim, 19-year-old Jaylin Craig, had pulled a gun ... and he feared for his and his family's life.

DaBaby looking serious at an event. New security footage from the 2018 fatal shooting involving DaBaby appears to weaken the rapper's self-defense claim.

I’m not doing this for no fame or anything, because at the end of the day, Jaylin Craig is gone.” “[Kirk] knows what he did. DaBaby has maintained to police that Craig and Douglas were lurking around him in the aisles, and allegedly threatened him and brandished a gun, leading him to draw his own weapon, according to Rolling Stone.

The rapper's self defense claim after the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Jaylin Craig in 2018 is being challenged by new, never-before-seen footage.

Kirk wasn't prosecuted for Craig’s death on the basis of him acting in self-defense, however, he did face a charge and conviction for carrying around a concealed weapon. This incident is just one of several claims of violence that the rapper has had brought against him in recent years. But the new video, which was published on Sunday night, contradicts the performer's longstanding account of the altercation.

Every lawyer we talked to, they look into this case [and say] ‘OK, we are going to get back with you.’ We don’t hear nothing [back].” We all are going through the same stuff. Though it’s unclear what was said in the moments before Craig was shot, the footage clearly shows DaBaby throw the first punch at Craig’s friend, Henry Douglas—who was also present—and continue to fight him throughout different sections of the store. “We never hid from nobody. We never [heard] from nobody. He quickly gets up, fires a shot, then tucks the gun back into his pants as he angrily walks around.

In the lyrics, he says that if anyone who tries to touch him, he will “catch a body like Boosie/Try me, I’m shootin’.” In the 2020 track “Rockstar,” DaBaby also has the line “My daughter a G, she saw me kill a n-gga in front of her before the age of two/And I’ll kill another n-gga too.” It is then that Kirk appears to pull out his own gun and shoots. The video appears to show Craig attempting to diffuse the fight, as Kirk continues to batter Douglas.
