Rapper DaBaby - real name Jonathan Kirk- was questioned by authorities and taken into police custody on New Year's Eve during a trip to Miami, FL . The rapper had traveled to Miami for a scheduled appearance at the a popular local nightclub called the Cafe Iguana Pines. However, a conflict with the venue's promoters led to a physical altercation. A police report from Miami Dade Police Department says that although the club had promised Kirk $30,000 to perform, the rapper claimed that he had only received $20,000. When Kirk began to demand the rest of his payment, both parties began arguing loudly until the argument escalated into a physical fight. Kirk allegedly struck one of the promoters, and his team allegedly put hands on the other.

Upon arriving to police headquarters, however, authorities discovered that he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Texas. He was subsequently booked on battery charges for the Texas incident and will remain in Miami Dade PD's custody until further notice.
