DaBaby Booed and Removed from Venue After Assaulting Woman in Audience

Following the altercation, the Charlotte rapper claimed he was hit in the face by the woman's phone.

Last night, DaBaby was booed and removed from a venue in Tampa after the rapper was seen slapping a woman in the face on his way to the stage.

In a video obtained by TMZ (see below,) the Charlotte rapper can be seen making his way through the crowd before abruptly hitting the woman. He was quickly escorted from the venue as the crowd turned against him, leaving without ever performing. In an Instagram video posted after the incident, the rapper offered followers $10,000 to come forward with an alternate angle that confirms his claim of the phone hitting his face before he lashed out. He also asked fans, "Who know shawty government name so my lawyer can get active?"

It's the latest in a string of assaults that have been captured on video or otherwise reported over the last few months. In January, DaBaby was arrested and charged with robbery and battery of a concert promoter. The latter charge was dropped, but he remains on the hook for robbery and is awaiting his court date.
