Beverly Hills, CA – The New Year isn’t exactly off to a good start for DaBaby. The platinum-selling rapper was reportedly arrested on weapons charges in Beverly Hills on Thursday night (January 7).

Charlotte, NC – DaBaby was apparently craving some fast food goodness on Sunday night (December 13) and decided to roll through a McDonald’s drive-thru. But the chart-topping rapper got more than he bargained for when the employee manning the window started spitting a freestyle for him.
Unbeknownst to DaBaby, the man serving his food turned out to an aspiring Charlotte, North Carolina rapper who goes by Mouf.
The Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment CEO, who shared the one-minute clip to his Instagram Stories, sat patiently while he spit, “I walk in the spot and they like, ‘Holy moly/There go that boy and that nigga, he doly’/Nobody tryin’ ’cause everyone know me. Crippin’ like Nipsey but shooting like Kobe/Passed it again like that nigga Ginóbili.”
