Who is Sada Baby? Rapper reportedly arrested on 2023 warrant

Detroit rapper Casada Aaron Sorrell, aka Sada Baby, was reportedly arrested around 4 a.m. on Thursday, January 10, on an outstanding 2023 warrant. This occurred after he was stopped by the police for having tinted windows on his car.

According to a Pitchfork article published in March 2020, Sada Baby listened to YoungBloodz, Eastside Chedda Boyz, Ying Yang Twins, Street Lord’z, and Soulja Boy growing up. The rapper started making rap music in his early twenties. Sada initially released his music on YouTube.

He was a featured artist on Detroit rapper Danny Mellz’s 2016 track Megaman X. In 2017, Sada released his debut mixtape, Skuba Sada, where the rapper collaborated with other artists, including Oba Rowland, Cammy Bands, Motown Ty, ShredGang Mone, Eastside Reup, and Jon Boi. The mixtape also featured Sada's rendition of Mark Morrison's Return of the Mack.

In late 2017, Sada Baby released D.O.N.: Dat One N*gga featuring Motown Ty and Ashley Sorrell.

His breakthrough single Bloxk Party followed a year later, featuring Detroit rapper Drego. However, Sada Baby reportedly did not make much from the collaboration, as he said in the Pitchfork interview:

"I had the biggest song in Detroit, No. 2 song on urban radio, I was doing streams, but I didn’t get to see any of that money."

Sada's 2019 collaborative mixtape Bartier Bounty was released under Asylum Records. The mixtape had contributions from Ashley Sorrell and Hoodrich Pablo Juan. He dropped his fourth mixtape Whoop Tape in the same year.

Sada Baby's most noted collaboration was with Nicki Minaj on Whole Lotta Choppas remix in 2020. The Detroit rapper also entered the Billboard 200 charts with his 2020 mixtape Skuba Sada 2. Sada released his following projects The Lost Tapes and Bartier Bounty 3 in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
