Detroit rapper Sada Baby, legally Casada Sorrell, has entered a no contest plea in Macomb County Circuit Court on a felony drug possession charge tied to a 2025 suburban traffic stop. The judge accepted the plea on Thursday, and sentencing is set for August 20, 2026, at 8:30 a.m., according to court filings and local reporting.
According to FOX 2 Detroit, Sorrell pleaded to one count of possession of a controlled substance less than 25 grams, a felony. Under the plea deal, the judge accepted the agreement and a habitual-offender enhancement tied to his file is expected to be dismissed at sentencing. Sentencing will take place in Macomb County Circuit Court on August 20, 2026.
How The Traffic Stop Turned Into A Felony Case
The charge tracks back to a January 2025 traffic stop in Sterling Heights. Officers pulled Sorrell over for an alleged window-tint violation and, while taking him into custody on an outstanding warrant, said they saw a bag of pills in the driver-side door pocket, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office. The county release states the pills later tested as acetaminophen and oxycodone hydrochloride and notes that Sorrell waived a preliminary exam in December 2025, after which the case was bound over to circuit court.
Court Timeline
Records show Sorrell first entered a no contest plea earlier this year. As reported by CBS Detroit, that March plea initially came with a May sentencing date.
That plan did not stick. After Sorrell applied for Macomb County's drug-court program and was denied admission, he withdrew the plea in May, according to FOX 2 Detroit, putting the case back on a path toward trial before the latest plea was entered. Hoodline previously tracked the case as it advanced to face trial in Macomb County.
What He Faces At Sentencing
Prosecutors charged Sorrell with possession of a controlled substance under 25 grams, which the county classifies as a four-year felony, per the Macomb County press release. That same release notes a habitual-offender notice connected to his file, which can increase exposure at sentencing; under the plea agreement, the enhancement is expected to be dismissed at the August hearing. The exact outcome will rest with the judge, who will weigh the plea, the guidelines, and any recommendations presented at sentencing.
The case is now set to return to Macomb County Circuit Court for sentencing on August 20, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Court filings and the judge's eventual ruling will determine whether Sorrell walks away with prison time, probation, fines, or other sanctions tied to the plea.
