Lil Baby's Lawyers Slam Atlanta Police's ‘Shameful' Allegation That Rapper's Video Is Linked to Teens' Murders
Lil Baby's attorneys Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg have responded to the Atlanta Police Department while distancing the Atlanta rapper (born Dominique Jones) from the alleged gang war and pair of teen murders the APD attempted to tie him to. Findling and Goldberg called the APD's reference to Lil Baby 'complete and total nonsense' while saying that roping his name into the conversation of a pair of murders is 'unprofessional, unethical and shameful.'

'To say that he couldn't shoot a music video in his home town, a place that he loves and has continued to uplift, is disgraceful. Even more, the location for a major music video shoot is a decision made by a professional team and is not a decision made by any individual.' The statement continued: 'Bringing his name into a conversation regarding a terrible crime for which he had absolutely no involvement is unprofessional, unethical and shameful. Dominique is devastated about the situation because those children came from the same neighborhood he did, and he will continue to build up his community in any way he can.' Billboard has reached out to Atlanta Police for comment. Major Ralph Woolfolk of the Atlanta Police Department hosted a press conference on Wednesday (Feb. 26) announcing the arrest of seven individuals tied to the July 2024 murders of 13-year-olds Jakody Davis and Lamon Freeman. He subliminally referenced the rapper, who Channel 2 Action News later confirmed to be Lil Baby, while claiming that a May 2024 triple shooting on the set of a Baby music video led to a gang war and the deaths of the aforementioned teens, who were celebrating a birthday. 'Gang violence that was orchestrated by adults. And the cowardly acts of an Atlanta-based rapper that decided to go into a rival gang stronghold in a place he knew he should not have been,' Woolfolk said during the presser. 'This team will work relentlessly to hold you accountable.' APD believes multiple shootings and homicides can be traced back to Lil Baby's music video shooting in Northwest Atlanta. Investigators allege that an incarcerated gang member opposing Lil Baby called in the hit on the pair of teens using a cell phone from behind bars. While rumors continued to swirl on Thursday (Feb. 27) regarding Baby's status, he took to his Instagram Story to clear up any confusion. 'Thanks for all the concerns, please don't be misinformed by fake news,' he wrote. 'I'm overly good.'
