DaBaby and Artist Wisdom in Physical Altercation
The phrase “artist development” appears to have taken on a bizarre and troubling new meaning within DaBaby’s Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment camp. Viral footage has surfaced online showing the ‘Suge’ rapper, Jonathan Kirk, in a heated physical altercation with one of his own signees, Wisdom Awute. The chaotic video clip captures the two men exchanging blows in what appears to be a backstage hallway, with the tension running visibly high between the label head and his artist.

The incident reportedly took place following DaBaby’s performance at the Spring Jam 2022 event at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina. In the now-viral clip, DaBaby appears to approach and then take the first swing at Wisdom, who quickly retaliates. The environment instantly devolves into pandemonium as several security personnel and entourage members rush in to separate the fighting parties. While no serious injuries were visible, the intensity of the struggle before the break-up was undeniable, sparking immediate concern across social media about the nature of the relationship between the two.

What exactly ignited the dispute remains unclear. Reports indicate that no official complaint or police report was filed with the authorities overseeing the venue, which may mean the internal issue was settled—or simply ignored—among the group. However, the optics of a label owner physically fighting with an artist he is supposed to be mentoring and guiding are concerning, especially given DaBaby’s recent history of high-profile confrontations and legal troubles.

This isn’t the first time the two have been connected to drama. Wisdom, a member of the Billion Dollar Baby roster, was previously arrested for attempted first-degree murder in connection with a 2021 Miami shooting. At the time, DaBaby reportedly provided support, including bailing the young artist out of jail. This history makes the current physical clash between them all the more puzzling, suggesting a deep-seated disagreement that escalated far beyond typical industry friction.
The viral footage has added another layer of controversy to DaBaby’s already tumultuous public persona. As the head of Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment, his primary role should involve fostering the talent and careers of his signees, not engaging them in violent outbursts.

The spectacle of a rapper fighting his own artist casts a negative light on the label and raises serious questions about the professional environment within DaBaby’s inner circle, leaving fans and industry observers wondering if this is a sign of deeper trouble in the BDB camp.
