What is Sada Baby's real name? Charges and all about the rapper in wake of recent arrest
Sada Baby, whose real name is Casada Aaron Sorrell, was arrested by the Sterling Heights Police on April 9, 2025, on charges related to drug possession, which were included in a warrant against him in Macomb County. Notably, his hearing date is yet to be made official.
The rapper’s arrest is allegedly associated with another legal issue that happened back in January this year when he was stopped by the police in Sterling Heights, as mentioned by Police Capt. Mario Bastianelli in an email sent to the Detroit Free Press.
The cops reportedly discovered illegal contraband inside the black Dodge Ram Casada that the rapper was driving during the traffic stop, as per The Detroit News.
According to Fox 2 Detroit, a police officer witnessed a vehicle with tinted windows during the early morning hours on Mound Road. While the officer conducted a check on the license plate, it was reportedly found that Casada had an outstanding warrant in his name, following which he was immediately taken into custody.
As per a report by Complex on the day of his arrest, Sada Baby has been charged with controlled substance possession of around 25 grams. However, the artist’s representatives have not commented on the matter until now.
XXL Magazine also obtained a mugshot of Casada, which was taken after Aaron Sorrell was transported to the Macomb County Jail. He was spotted giving a smile to the camera with his mouth closed and eyes wide open.
