Rapper DaBaby confidently addressed the $4 million lawsuit filed against him by Brandon Bills, the brother of his ex-girlfriend DaniLeigh, in a recent interview. The lawsuit stems from an alleged assault at a bowling alley in 2022, which Bills claims left him with severe injuries and psychological damage.


Bills is seeking $2 million in general damages and another $2 million for special damages, alleging DaBaby attacked him without provocation. According to Bills, the incident resulted in significant medical bills and emotional distress.


During his conversation with Bootleg Kev, DaBaby laughed off the allegations, stating, “I don’t know nothing about it man.” He expressed confidence in his legal position, asserting, “That’s going to be the easiest case I ever had to beat.”

This is not the first time DaBaby has faced legal troubles related to altercations. In 2019, he was involved in a fatal shooting at a Walmart in North Carolina, though he claimed self-defense and charges were later dropped. In 2020, he was arrested for battery in Miami after allegedly punching a promoter. Later that year, he was accused of slapping a woman at a Tampa nightclub.


In 2021, DaBaby faced controversy after making homophobic remarks at a music festival, leading to backlash and canceled performances. More recently, in April 2022, he was involved in a shooting incident at his North Carolina property, though he was not charged.

DaBaby maintains he acted in self-defense during the alleged altercation with Bills. He believes the evidence will support his claims and that Bills will ultimately be responsible for his own legal fees if he loses the case.

DaBaby’s attorney, Drew Findling, previously dismissed the lawsuit as a “money grab,” arguing that Bills instigated the situation and is now exploiting it for financial gain. Findling stated, “It is offensive that this alleged victim threatened and instigated violence and has now used this incident to make a quick money grab.”

The public’s response to the lawsuit and DaBaby’s comments has been mixed. Fans of the rapper appreciate his confidence in addressing the situation, while critics argue such incidents should be taken seriously, regardless of celebrity status.

As the lawsuit unfolds, it remains to be seen how the legal proceedings will impact DaBaby’s career and public image. For now, the rapper appears unfazed, maintaining a light-hearted attitude toward the allegations against him. With his strong stance and the backing of his legal team, DaBaby is poised to confront this challenge head-on.

This case serves as a reminder of the complexities of celebrity life and the legal battles that can arise from personal conflicts, particularly for artists with a history of controversial incidents.
