Casada Aaron Sorrell (born November 17, 1992), known professionally as Sada Baby, is an American rapper and singer. He initially gained recognition in 2018 when the music video for his song "Bloxk Party" went viral, the success of which led him to sign with Asylum Records. A prominent figure of the emerging Detroit rap scene of the mid-to-late 2010s, he is best known for the 2020 single "Whole Lotta Choppas" (remixed featuring Nicki Minaj), which went viral on TikTok before peaking at number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut studio album Skuba Sada 2 (2020) entered the US Billboard 200, and didn't feature the single.
Early life Casada Sorrell was born and raised in the Regent Park neighborhood on the east side of Detroit. According to him, he sang in the church choir from the age of nine to eleven, but then moved to Washington, D.C. for a year. He grew up with dreams of playing basketball, and took interest in music after his cousin Ashley started singing.
Career 2013–2017: Career beginnings In 2013, Sada Baby began taking rapping seriously and cultivated a following. He released numerous songs and was featured on a number of tracks in the next three years, but received little attention. He nearly quit in 2016 until entering and winning a local rap competition, beating out 12 other rappers and earning money. Sada began releasing a series of singles and music on YouTube, culminating in the release of his breakout debut mixtape, Skuba Sada, in 2017. That same year, he also signed to his friend Tee Grizzley's record label Grizzley Gang, and released another mixtape called D.O.N - Dat One Nigga.
2018–2019: Breakthrough, "Bloxk Party" and mixtapes In March 2018, Sada Baby released the video for his song "Bloxk Party", a collaboration with fellow Detroit rapper Drego. A few months after his breakthrough, Sada Baby signed to Asylum Records. "Bloxk Party" was released again on September 28, 2018, as the second single for his third mixtape Bartier Bounty, which Baby would release on January 25, 2019, under Asylum. The mixtape also contains his 2018 singles "Cheat Code, "Pimp Named Drip Dat" and "Driple Double", and met with positive reviews from music critics. On August 16, 2019, Sada released his song "Next Up" featuring Tee Grizzley. On September 27, 2019, he released his fourth mixtape Whoop Tape via SoundCloud and DatPiff. On November 1, 2019, he released a single titled "2K20". Sada Baby eventually left Grizzley Gang, due to being restricted from releasing music at the prolific rate he was accustomed to, in 2019.
2020–present: "Whole Lotta Choppas" On January 1, 2020, he released his mixtape Brolik, a DatPiff exclusive and a collection of singles he released in the last six months. On January 10, 2020, he released his song "Pressin", featuring rapper King Von. In March 2020, Sada released his debut studio album, Skuba Sada 2, which contains his 2020 single "Aktivated". The deluxe edition features the singles "2K20" and "Pressin". The album received generally positive reviews, and charted at number 125 on Billboard 200. On June 7, 2020, Sada Baby was featured on fellow Michigan rapper Bfb Da Packman's single "Free Joe Exotic". On July 17, 2020, he announced his mixtape Bartier Bounty 2, and released it a week later. On August 14, 2020, Sada Baby released the single "Whole Lotta Choppas", which sparked a viral dance challenge on TikTok and debuted at number 92 on the Billboard Hot 100. On October 16, 2020, a remix of the song featuring Nicki Minaj was released. The song later peaked at number 35.
Personal life On January 9, 2025, Sada Baby was pulled over after his Dodge Ram was found to have a tinted window, and was then arrested on the spot after it was discovered that he had been driving without a driver's license since 2020. A warrant for his arrest on this charge had originally been issued in October 2023. Sada Baby would then be taken to Macomb County jail. He was soon released, but was expected to make a court appearance on this charge on January 24, 2025. He also found to be in possession of "possible illegal contraband," though charges were not filed for this as of January 10, 2025. The contraband would be taken as evidence, with charges remaining a possibility pending further investigation.
Sada Baby is missing part of his left index finger due to a robbery incident in the past.
