The controversial rapper directed a music video which recreates the Charlotte light rail stabbing reimagined with a saving-grace twist.
Rapper DaBaby released a music video for new song “Save Me” in which he recreates the Charlotte light rail stabbing in a jarring tribute to slain Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska — but with an alternate ending.
The controversial Cleveland-born rapper directed the video in which he sits on a Charlotte train in a black hoodie next to an actor portraying accused knifeman Decarlos Brown, who allegedly slaughtered the unsuspecting 23-year-old pizza parlor worker on Aug 22.
Opening with a playback of a news package — which includes the shocking original security footage of the stabbing — a chorus of “Do you think you can save me?” begins as DaBaby and two actors proceed to recreate the ghastly murder.
“Think you could save me like your God or something,” the 33-year-old rapper opens while sitting on the seat adjacent to Brown’s character.
The first verse is marked by lines “When I stay silent on my morals, yea it cost me plenty” and “Better stay out my face cause I’m a man and I will bleed you down” and “No 9-to-5 you rather post up at the store or something — so we can’t save you.
