DaBaby’s lawyers dismissed Rolling Stone‘s video which seems to dispute the rapper’s claims that he killed a man in self-defense.
The 30-year-old rapper, real name Jonathan Kirk, killed 19-year-old Jaylin Craig during a fight at a North Carolina Walmart store in 2018.

The rapper’s attorneys, Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg, tell TMZ the video was reviewed by a judge and prosecutors back in 2018.
The lawyers say prosecutors concluded DaBaby acted in self-defense and therefore was not charged with homicide.
DaBaby also responded to the video, saying, “The media got they a*s brainwashed.”
Since 2018, DaBaby has shot at or physically assaulted multiple people — some without provocation.
