According to Miami journalist and Fox Sports 640 South Florida host Andy Slater who has been following the story, the rapper was finally released from police custody and is no longer being questioned. This comes after Slater reported that police said DaBaby had fired at least one round outside of Prime 112 in Miami. DaBaby reportedly told officers that it was in self-defense. Additionally, another rapper named Wisdom was also being questioned earlier today.

DaBaby has yet to issue a statement or make any public response but perhaps, this particular incident will inspire a couple of bars down the line.

Aside from his recent brush with the law, the rapper recently secured seven nominations at the BET Awards. He and Megan Thee Stallion both tied each other for most nominations at the upcoming award show. The two will be facing off for Album Of The Year as well as Best Collaboration that includes their record, "Cry Baby."
