Baby Tate is contemplating legal action following an alleged assault by a security guard at an Atlanta cocktail bar. The incident reportedly occurred on Sunday night, September 1st, when Tate and her group experienced what she describes as unwarranted harassment by the guard.
In a series of posts on X, Tate recounted her distressing experience. “Just went to El Malo and was harassed and targeted by one of their security guards so crazy,” she wrote. “Like, SO crazy. This GROWN ASS MAN just THREW me on the fucking ground after I literally didn’t do a thing to him.” Tate added that the guard had been aggressive towards her party throughout the night. “He was pressing my party all night and harassing them then PUSHED ME TO THE FUCKING CONCRETE when I did nothing to him but ask why he was talking to me crazy. It’s actually giving LAW SUIT. no funny shit.”
When a fan suggested she call the police about the assault, Tate explained that the response was unhelpful. “They told me there’s nothing they could do because I left the place that it happened,” she said. “I needed to leave to feel safe.”
On a different note, Baby Tate has also been addressing criticisms regarding her music style. Recently, she responded to claims that she’s copying Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim. In an April freestyle on On The Radar, Tate defended her originality. “Hold on, bitch I’m blown/ I just got up on the internet, they said I’m a clone,” she raps. “They say I blink like Nicki, dress like Kimmy… But I don’t understand why n-ggas won’t let me be me!”
Tate also pointed out that the comparisons are primarily with other Black female rappers and not with a broader range of artists. “It’s none of my concern anymore/ ’Cause I waited patiently for my turn at the door,” she raps. “Once again that’s Nicki, Kim, Missy, RiRi, Eve, Dionne, Lauryn, Left Eye, Kelis/ Unfortunately ‘cause I’m Black that’s all they see!” She questioned why she isn’t compared to other prominent artists like Madonna or Gaga and highlighted the lack of comparisons to male artists like Kendrick Lamar or Kanye West.
