Rapper Da Baby, who recently pleaded guilty to assaulting the owner of a house where he was filming a music video, is now facing a new challenge as his legal team moves to withdraw from representing him in the upcoming civil lawsuit tied to the case.
In a surprising turn of events, Da Baby’s lawyers from Venable LLP have requested permission from the court to drop him as a client, citing a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship and a breach of the engagement agreement. Court documents obtained by In Touch reveal the legal team’s decision to step away from the case just weeks before the trial accusing Da Baby of assaulting a 65-year-old man is set to commence.
Despite taking reasonable steps to mitigate any potential harm to Da Baby, the legal team has opted to part ways with the rapper ahead of the next hearing scheduled for August 20 and the trial slated to begin on September 3.
As Da Baby scrambles to secure new representation amidst this legal turmoil, the unfolding drama adds a new layer of complexity to his ongoing legal troubles.
