The Rockstar artist and his friends rented the place for a weeklong stay.
Pagar further mentions that at some point he became aware that his property was filled with more than 12 people. He continues by adding that he complained to DaBaby’s team and they assured him that DB and his team will not stay at his house for long.
The owner however took it upon himself to resolve the matter and visited the place on 2nd December.
