DaBaby – 65-Year-Old Suing Rapper For Physically Attacking Him Over Video Shoot, Motions Court Judge Not To Delay Their Case Any Further

Rap star DaBaby may find himself in court again soon despite his attempt to delay the case.

According to Radar Online, the homeowner who was allegedly assaulted by the musician is fighting not to have the trial pushed back any further.

As we reported back in November of last year, DaBaby, real name Jonathan Lyndale Kirk, 31, was sued for assault by a then 64-year-old man named Gary Pagar. In the suit, filed in 2021, the man claimed he was harassed and physically hit after confronting the Ohio native for breaking his policy after temporarily renting his home to the rapper. When DaBaby was served with legal papers, however, the “Suge” artist was reportedly granted a continuance, arguing that a felony criminal case he’s part of could be compromised if he responded to the home owner’s lawsuit. The case has reportedly not moved forward since.

Now, it seems Pagar is tired of waiting for his day in court. Reportedly, he recently submitted a motion to a court judge requesting that a date be set in course for their case. The legal document reportedly read:

“Pagar knows that fact to be true; [DaBaby] knows that fact to be true; and the numerous eyewitnesses who were huddled around Pagar and [DaBaby] at the time know that fact to be true. The whole incident is also evidenced by several videos—taken on cell phones by eyewitnesses,”

And continued:

“[DaBaby] does not want to admit in a declaration that he assaulted and battered Pagar because it would incriminate him in a parallel criminal case arising out of the assault. Nor can he deny it under oath without committing perjury. But [DaBaby’s] invocation of the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and his apparent unwillingness to submit a declaration in opposition to Pagar’s motion for summary judgment is not sufficient ground to warrant a continuance,”

Adding:

“In the nearly 2 1/2 years since this litigation has been pending, not a single witness has been produced or deposed to dispute the fact that it was Kirk who assaulted [DaBaby],”

Allegedly, DaBaby rented a property from Pagar in Los Angeles and was told there was a limit of no more than 12 people that could be present at one time. The renter was subsequently alerted that the policy had been broken, and claims the rapper had around 40 individuals present when he arrived shooting a music video for Stunna 4 Vegas’ single “Play U Lay”. Pagar says he proceeded to approach DaBaby after shutting down the project, and the musician spit at him and chased him inside the house. Additionally, Pagar says the rapper punched him hard enough to knock out several teeth and left him “bloodied” and “bruised”.

Though the amount in damages Pagar is seeking is unspecified, the renter claims his home was destroyed after DaBaby left. Allegedly, he was forced to pay $1,300 to fix stained carpeting, $1,000 to reupholster damaged dining chairs, $575 to re-felt a pool table, and $1,680 to repair wood flooring, and $1,149 to replace a stolen phone. A judge has reportedly not made a decision on the matter at this time.
