Someone died last night while the police department wasting resources and officers to harass me in attempt to make a bad example out of me. When in reality, i’m the most positive example the city of Charlotte got. Especially for anybody in the streets of Charlotte and the KIDS.

DaBaby's Christmas spirits started off good, but ended with some stress.

Just hours after holding a toy giveaway, the Grammy-nominated rapper was detained by North Carolina police for misdemeanor marijuana possession, reports ABC news.

Initially, the police had reportedly taken him in for possession of marijuana. Upon his release from custody, DaBaby claimed that police were targeting him, and unlawfully searched his car while he was on stage at Bogangles Arena.

Kirk told reporters he believes officers unlawfully searched his car while he was on stage at Bojangles Arena. Video obtained by WCNC-TV reportedly shows the rapper being detained in the parking lot. He says officers target him every time he comes to Charlotte.

DaBaby's team told WCNC that the police were given a bogus tip about guns and drugs in his car.

Before the concert at Bogangles, the "Suge" rapper gave away 200 toys to underprivileged children in Charlotte, ABC news reports.

Kodak Black isn't allowing prison to drain his good spirits.

Yesterday (Dec. 22), TMZ reported that Kodak was allowed to help at least 70 children from the Paradise Day Care Center in his hometown of Broward County, Fla.

The children at Paradise Care Center, who range from ages two to seven years old, will receive dolls, bicycles, among other gifts. TMZ also reported that the 22-year-old rapper will donate gifts to the family of a blind child Kodak met during a previous visit to the LightHouse for the Blind.

Kodak will also donate $1,000 to Rabbi Kaplan of the Downtown Jewish Center Chabad in Fort Lauderdale. The monetary gift will go toward building a new synagogue. In total, the "ZEZE" rapper spent up to $8,000 from prison to help families in need.

Kodak's lawyer, Bradford Cohen, added that the "Calling My Spirit" rapper has plans to give more to charities, religious institutions as well as individual families.

On Nov. 13, a Miami federal judge sentenced Kodak to 46 months in prison on weapons charges. In August, he pled guilty to lying on a background form when he purchased handguns back in January. Kodak lied again in March when he attempted to buy more guns.

Kodak also has other pending criminal cases. One involves the 2016 alleged sexual assault of an adult aged high-school female in Florence, SC. Another involves drugs and guns and that were found in Kodak’s car as he and his entourage crossed into Canada for a show last April.
