The Detroit rapper Sada Baby has had his share of time in the limelight, but he admits that his recent moment in the mugshot sun was a bit of a spectacle. Still buzzing from a recent arrest that caught the internet’s attention, the “Whole Lotta Choppas” rapper jumped on The Pac-Man Jones Show to set the record straight with that signature blend of punchlines and no-holds-barred truthfulness fans have come to expect.
The big issue that won’t go away is the drug charges. Social media had a ball, with speculation flying in all directions and noses being metaphorically and directly pointed this way and that. But as Sada put it, “people got it twisted.
“What I got caught with didn’t have none of that,” he clarified. “Because if I had a zip of dope on me I’d still be in jail.”
The rapper clarified further, stating that law enforcement found Percocets, not cocaine, as others had suggested. He said the hype was a legal misapprehension that snowballed into something bigger online.
“It was some Percocets, you feel me,” he kept it blunt. No dodging, no sugar-coating.
You know, the one wide-eyed, brows raised as if he had just stepped into a haunted house or witnessed gas go to $8 a gallon. It turns out, though, that the expression wasn’t an accident or a result of a crazed night but was performance art of a sort.
“I made the face ’cause I wanted to go viral. It went viral,” Sada laughed. “She was like, ‘You sure you want to, you know, you sure you want to look like that in your picture?’ I’m like, ‘Take the picture. Take the picture right now.’ ”
The photo went out like wildfire, igniting memes, think pieces, and plenty of side-eyes on social platforms. But for Sada Baby, the moment was less a mugshot than a marketing move. You have to hand it to him, though: He knows how to keep his name in the news, even if that comes with a booking number.
Sada played it cool during the hourlong interview, dismissing rumors that he “plays with his nose” and emphasizing that perception isn’t reality. Using humor, honesty, and some trolling, he turned what might have been a PR disaster into just another classic Sada Baby moment equal parts chaos and charisma.
But if history is any guide, Sada will continue to soften out as a resplendent cold-blooded creature whenever wrung out, with viral moments tucked into his vault pockets and punchlines to catapult into the face of whoever gets to laughing at him next. Mugshot or not, Sada Baby knows how to get people talking.
