WATCH: Video Raises Questions In DaBaby's 2018 Self-Defense Shooting Claim

Rolling Stone has managed to unearth footage of the 2018 shooting incident involving rapper DaBaby, where he shot and killed Jaylin Craig, claiming self-defense.

The footage shows DaBaby, born Jonathan Kirk seemingly instigating the attack, although no charges related to the killing were brought against him. What does this mean for the rapper?

The incident took place at a Walmart in North Carolina on Nov. 5, 2018. At the time, DaBaby aka. Kirk had claimed that Jaylin Craig, along with his friend Henry Douglas were threatening the rapper as well as his family.

In an Instagram post after the incident, the rapper said, "Daughter could have got hit, son could have got hit. Lawyers … telling me not to say nothing … But two [people] walk down on you and your whole … family, threatening y’all, whip out [a gun] on y’all, let me see what y’all going to do."

The shooting did not seem to "hurt" DaBaby. He was never charged with the killing of Craig although he was convicted of carrying a concealed weapon that he had used to shoot Craig with. Sentenced to 12 months probation, DaBaby got a suspended jail sentence, and shortly after the shooting, he was signed to Interscope Records.

According to Jaylin Craig's friend, Henry Douglas, he and Craig recognized DaBaby, and a conversation was started. While Douglas denies it, DaBaby perceived the conversation as threatening and stated that the two were stalking him to "start something". He gave a statement to authorities saying, "They’re trying to get me to provoke them so they could pull a gun out."

The Rolling Stone video shows DaBaby confronting Craig and Douglas instead. Allegedly, DaBaby told Craig and Douglas they should go outside and fight. When the two turn away from him, he goes for the attack.

In the video, DaBaby is seen punching “a blindsided Douglas”, tackling him to the ground which he later said was him "trying to get a jump" on the two, in the police report.

Later, the video also shows him pulling out a Glock and shooting Craig. While Craig is also alleged to have had a gun on his person at the time, authorities called it “inconclusive” in terms of whether or not he was brandishing it when approaching DaBaby and Douglas mid-fight.

So the question, asked by Cheyenne Roundtree, the writer of the Rolling Stone article, is, "From the footage, the rapper appears to be the initial aggressor in the situation. To Jaylin's family, the video footage raises some serious questions; most important, would Jaylin Craig still be alive if DaBaby hadn’t thrown the first punch?"

Fans are divided down in the middle, with some feeling such incidents need to be nipped in the bud.

Wrote one Twitter user, "He’s been given a hall pass too many times. How many times will he keep showing folks who he is and folks just continue to turn their head? When another life is taken? SMDH"

Another pointed out, "The Double Jeopardy Clause in the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits anyone from being prosecuted twice for substantially the same crime."

DaBaby is not worried though, as he wrote on Twitter:

Meanwhile, Craig's family, including his mother, LaWanda Horsley have always called the shooting a foul, and also spoken about how the police bungled the investigation. According to them, the authorities did not interview “multiple people at Walmart”, many of whom were acquaintances of the Back on My Baby Jesus Sh!t Again artist and Henry Douglas.

Here's the footage unearthed by Rolling Stone, and it's something that shows that not everything DaBaby claimed was the truth.

There has been no official statement by DaBaby yet.
