Rapper DaBaby has accepted a plea deal in his 2020 felony battery case, avoiding jail time for an incident in which he allegedly sucker-punched Gary Pagar, the owner of a home where he was shooting a music video.
TMZ reports that while DaBaby was not present in the L.A. County court on Thursday, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery through his lawyer, Blair Berk. As part of the plea deal, DaBaby was sentenced to one-year probation and time served. Additionally, he was ordered to pay $10,000 in restitution, maintain a distance of 100 yards from Pagar, and refrain from possessing firearms and deadly weapons during his probation period.
The incident in question took place during the filming of the “Play U Lay” music video, which featured DaBaby, Jake Paul, and Stunna 4 Vegas. According to Pagar, a confrontation occurred when he arrived on the scene, resulting in him losing a tooth. DaBaby has claimed that Pagar used racist language during the altercation.
Despite the plea deal, legal battles between DaBaby and Pagar are not over. Pagar is still pursuing a lawsuit against DaBaby for fraud, breach of contract, and battery.
This case marks another legal chapter for the North Carolina-bred rapper, whose music career has often been overshadowed by legal troubles and controversies.
