Detroit rapper Sada Baby pleads no contest to drug charges
FOX 2 - Detroit rapper Sada Baby pleaded no contest to a felony drug charge on Thursday, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office.
Dig deeper:
Sada Baby, whose real name is Casada Sorrell, pleaded to possession of a controlled substance less than 25 grams which carries a sentence of up to four years in prison and or $25,000.
As part of the plea agreement, the habitual offender enhancement is to be dismissed at sentencing, and the judge accepted his plea.
The sentencing for Sada Baby is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on August 20.
Timeline:
In May he was scheduled to plead but withdrew it after he was not admitted into the Macomb County drug program.
After denial of his entry into the drug court – a structured program designed to help those convicted of drug offenses – he withdrew that plea and will now stand trial, according to court records.
The rapper was pulled over by Sterling Heights police in January 2025 because of a problem with his window tint.
During that stop, police allegedly found Oxycodone Hydrochloride pills that Sorrell did not have a prescription for.
