DaBaby’s latest music video, “Save Me,” has created controversy as the song pays tribute to Charlotte’s Iryna Zarutska, the victim of the stabbing on the CATS Blue Line. The dedication has ignited a heated conversation in hip-hop circles, drawing both applause and criticism.
The project has stirred immediate debate over its tone and timing. For some, the dedication and charitable link serve as a gesture of remembrance. For others, the decision to restage a fresh trauma raises questions about artistic responsibility and exploitation.
