Rapper DaBaby’s new video sparks outrage after recreating fatal stabbing of Ukraine refugee

Rapper DaBaby has stirred controversy again with the release of his new music video for the song “Save Me,” which reenacts the stabbing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on public transit in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Zarutska, just 23 years old, was brutally killed on August 22 while riding Charlotte’s Lynx Blue Line, allegedly stabbed to death by Decarlos Brown Jr., who now faces criminal charges. A refugee from war-torn Ukraine, she had fled her homeland in 2022 seeking safety and a new life.
