STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (FOX 2) - Detroit rapper Sada Baby was arrested Thursday during a traffic stop.

Sada Baby, whose real name is Casada Sorrell, was pulled over by Sterling Heights police on Thursday because of a problem with his window tint. But during that traffic stop, police learned he had outstanding warrants.

What we know:

Around 4 a.m. on Thursday, police spotted a Dodge Ram with tinted window on Mound near 18 Mile around 4 a.m. When police ran the plate, they discovered that the registered owner was wanted for an outstanding warrant.

According to court records, Sorrell was charged in June 2023 with driving while unlicensed for three years, and a warrant request was filed in October 2023.

Once police confirmed the driver was Sorrell, he was arrested for the outstanding warrant.
