Baby D Calls From Jail
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last we reported on Atlanta rapper Baby D here, it was about him being in an Ohio jail — without bond — following his arrest for allegedly trafficking cocaine.
Well, he’s still there.
But at least now he sees a bit of daylight.
Baby D (above) rang his mother, who in turn rang us, to let his Atlanta fans know “I’m cool, cool. Just holding it down until my court date, May 20. Hopefully I can get a bond…I will be exonerated on all charges.”
(D also has three pending assault charges in Tennessee, according to his Koch Records label).
“It’s just a little misconception,” he said. “We’ll be able to answer to that, and the other one. People just try to make you guilty by association. And it’s all about the facts.”
The member of Atlanta’s Big Oomp camp noted that he’s been reading a lot since he was locked up on March 26. “I was reading a book called ‘The 48 Laws of Power,’ and one of the things they say in it is don’t wear yourself out. Sometimes if you disappear for a minute it makes people anticipate you’re coming back. So maybe this is a blessing in disguise.”
D also added that his latest CD, “A-Town Secret Weapon” - released last week - “is doing really well…My fans stick by me and have stayed loyal…We’re preparing for the second single, ‘Girls Gone Wild’… And we’re planning a big ‘Welcome Home’ when I’m found innocent.”
Do you think Baby D’s incarceration may in some way revive interest in the artist, whose first/last hit was the 2000 single “Eastside Vs. Westside”? Are you a Baby D fan? Bought “A-Town Secret Weapon”?

In the immortal words of Yeats, without Baby D, things fall apart; the center cannot hold.

Wow, whose checking for Baby D, he had 1 local hit 8 years ago and it was a local hit… Oomp Camp hasn’t made any major noise over the last few years. Do they even have a major label affiliation? Probably not.. Anyway this isn’t about race its about a washed up rapper trying to get some paper since he’s not getting it in the music business… Oh yeah, he dropped an album last week.. wow didn’t hear nothing about that, and he said its doing good????? Good = family and friends bought it…lol
