Sada Baby Arrested on Drug Charges
Detroit rapper Sada Baby has been arrested on drug charges stemming from a traffic stop that occurred several months ago, The Detroit News reports. The rapper, real name Casada Sorrell, is being held in Macomb County Jail after being taken into custody Tuesday night, April 8, on a warrant accusing him of possession of less than 25 grams of narcotics. Court records show he has not yet been arraigned, nor has a hearing been scheduled. More from Rolling Stone Brittany Broski Says 'I Don't Give a F-ck' to Her Haters.

Sorrell was originally arrested in January during a traffic stop. At the time, police pulled him over at around 4 a.m. because of his tinted windows. Upon checking the vehicle's license plate, they learned that Sorrell had an outstanding warrant from 2023 for driving without a valid license. (Last month, Sorrell pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to display a valid license and was ordered to pay a $200 fine.) During the stop, police searched Sorrell's car and said they found 'possible illegal contraband' (via Fox 2 Detroit). That part of the case remained open as police sent the substance away for testing. Sorrell's arrest this week after the test results came back positive for narcotics (based on court records, it appears the substance was allegedly cocaine). Sada Baby rose to prominence in Detroit's rap scene in the late 2010s with successful singles like 'Aktivated' and 'Pressin' with King Von. He enjoyed his biggest year in 2020, dropping his proper debut album, Skuba Sada 2, his popular mixtape Bartier Bounty 2, and scoring a hit single with 'Whole Lotta Choppas,' which got a remix featuring Nicki Minaj.
