What's Happening?
Atlanta rapper Lil Baby, whose real name is Dominique Jones, is facing allegations from the Atlanta Police Department linking him to the deaths of two 13-year-old boys. The police claim that a shooting at a music video shoot held by Lil Baby last summer contributed to escalating gang violence, resulting in the deaths. Seven men have been arrested in connection with the killings, and police allege that Lil Baby is associated with a gang involved in the incident. The rapper and his attorneys have strongly denied these accusations, labeling them as 'complete and total nonsense.' They argue that the location for the music video was chosen by a professional team and not by Lil Baby himself.
