DaBaby talks about shooting a home intruder in the leg after they trespassed onto his $2.3 million North Carolina property in April.

DaBaby has opened up publicly for the first time about the shooting that took place at his North Carolina home earlier this year. In April, the 30-year-old rapper shot a home intruder in the legafter they trespassed onto his $2.3 million estate in Troutman. The assailant was treated for a non life-threatening gunshot wound, while DaBaby was said to be cooperative with responding police officers. During an appearance on the Full Send Podcaston Friday (July 22), DaBaby shed light on the incident, revealing he was in his home studio working on his upcoming album when he was alerted to the intruder.

I got a call from somebody that was outside working, like my contractor. I got a call from him and he was like, Somebodys on the football field. It was just the way he was talking, like, Come outside.' A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks) While DaBaby remained coy about what happened next exactly, he stated, The threat was neutralized.
