Dababy won $6 million lawsuit over 2020 brawl. He was accused of beating and robbing a concert promoter

A jury has sided with DaBaby in the lawsuit filed against him for the alleged assault of Miami concert promoter Kenneth Carey in 2020, per TMZ.

The controversial rapper and his crew were accused of attacking Carey and one of his friends over a dispute regarding an event DaBaby was hired to host. The two had a disagreement over payment, and DaBaby was hit with a $6 million federal lawsuit over the fight. He was originally facing a criminal battery charge as well, but that was dropped before the trial concluded in DaBaby’s favor on Monday.

“Along with our client, Jonathan Kirk [DaBaby], we are thrilled that this federal jury, after a five-day trial, came to the same conclusion that we have maintained for almost 3 years—that these plaintiffs were attempting to use the legal system to shake down Mr. Kirk,” said his attorney Drew Findling. “Mr. Kirk deserves all the credit in the world for not caving in to these plaintiffs’ cash demands and having the confidence in the facts and his legal team to take this to a jury trial for a complete and total victory!”

DaBaby and his crew were accused of assaulting Carey and stealing his phone, money, and credit card. The concert promoter was responsible for putting together a party at a Miami nightclub, which the rapper agreed to host for $30,000. Carey ultimately gave DaBaby $20,000 and said he’d provide the rest of the money following the event. He claimed he had to visit a doctor for wounds sustained in the brawl. DaBaby has maintained his innocence since the start.

Earlier this month, DaBaby was hit with a copyright infringement lawsuit over his No. 1 hit track “Rockstar.”

In another news, Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson on Wednesday revealed disturbing details of the case in a press conference that led to the arrest of Michael Barajas, 36, on Dec. 8. Swanson said Barajas had filed his teeth down to points and threatened to bite the victim and rip her throat out during the course of her three-week imprisonment.

The victim accepted, not knowing that she would be repeatedly raped and trafficked for the following three weeks.

Once the pair arrived to a dilapidated home, Barajas allegedly locked her inside a room and tied her to a bed. Genesee officials said they found rope at the scene. The victims’ room had an exterior deadbolt and all the windows in the hone were screwed shut. 

Barajas repeatedly sexually assaulted the pregnant woman, and had other people come over to sexually assault and traffic her, police said.

“This guy used the opportunity to not only sexually assault but have people come over and traffic her as she was tied forcibly to the bed while they assaulted her,” Swanson said.

Swanson said the woman attempted to escape the dead-bolted room three times. 

The first time she ran out of an open door during an exchange, but Barajas and the other suspects chased her down, firing shots at her and dragging her back to the bedroom.

A second attempted escape also led to her recapture. On Dec. 8, the victim suffered a medical emergency related to her pregnancy and was seen by nurses who recognized that the woman was in serious need of help.

The woman reported she had been held in a home since Thanksgiving, when Barajas spotted her walking days after she had been kicked out of another residence, the sheriff said.

Barajas offered her food and shelter, which the woman accepted, and drove to a house. But as soon as they entered, he allegedly locked her inside a room and tied the woman to a bed, Swanson said.

Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton authorized charges. Barajas was arraigned this week in 67th District Court in Flint on seven felony counts, including kidnapping, first-degree criminal sexual conduct, human trafficking and assault with a dangerous weapon, records show.

Bond was set at $35,000 on each charge, according to the court filing.

Barajas remained jailed Wednesday and the case remained under investigation, Swanson said.

Anyone with information on Barajas’ associates is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at (810) 257-3422.

Barajas was arrested and charged with seven felonies, including kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct, and assault with a dangerous weapon.

His cash bond was set at $250,000.

Police continue to investigate. They are also searching for the men who raped the woman, Swanson said.
