Shabazz Kwame Kussie Baidoo (born 13 April 1988) is an English professional footballer of Ghanaian and Montserratian descent, who plays for Biggleswade Town in the Southern League Premier Division.
Born in Hackney, as a youngster, Baidoo was on Arsenal's books. However, Arsenal released him and he had a trial at Norwich City before signing for Queens Park Rangers and Dagenham & Redbridge.
Baidoo burst onto the scenes rather prematurely, during an injury crisis for Ian Holloway's team towards the end of the 2004/05 season. He made his debut aged just 16. The following two seasons saw Baidoo feature slightly more regularly, scoring four goals and making numerous substitute appearances and a few starts. However, since John Gregory became manager, Baidoo had been used sparingly and out of position, on the wing. He was used even less frequently under Gary Waddock, Mick Harford and Luigi De Canio. Baidoo went on loan to Gillingham in December 2007, but failed to make an appearance for the club, returning to Loftus Road in the New Year.
On 17 January 2008, Baidoo's contract was terminated by mutual consent by QPR. On the same day he joined Dagenham & Redbridge on a deal that lasted until the end of the 2007–08 season. During this spell he took the chance to work on his developing music career, as "MC Terminator". In September 2008 he joined Conference club Lewes on a monthly contract. Released after one month, in October 2008 he moved to Croydon Athletic.
