DaBaby apologizes for “insensitive” AIDS comments

DaBaby offers some kind of apology.

Amid the aftermath of his homophobic talk on Rolling Loud Miami, the rapper brings up the offensive hate speech, claiming he was caught off guard by the backlash.

“I tell the fans to put a cell phone light in the air, you start a million march,” he tweeted on Tuesday. “I told you that you digested it all the wrong way, but I’m not lying, I’m impressed. Show the same support now when a racist cop kills one of our black asses … NOT YOU. “

He also apologized for his “insensitive” statements about people with AIDS / HIV.

“Anyone who has ever had AIDS / HIV, you all have the right to be upset,” he added. “What I said was insensitive, even though I have no intention of offending anyone. So my excuse. “

However, he refrained from apologizing to the LGBTQ + community as a whole. “But the LGBT community… I don’t trip over all of you, do I? Your business is your whole business, ”he added.

Not only social media called for his cancellation, but also his colleagues, including his “levitating” colleague Dua Lipa.

“I’m surprised and horrified by DaBaby’s comments,” wrote the pop star in her Instagram story. “I really don’t acknowledge this as the person I’ve worked with. I know that my fans know where my heart is and that I am 100% with the LGTBQ community. We need to come together to fight the stigma and ignorance surrounding HIV / AIDS. “

The fashion brand boohooMAN, for which DaBaby is a partner, has also condemned his statements and is reviewing their relationship with him. “Diversity and inclusion are part of our core values ​​and we pride ourselves on representing the diverse customers we serve around the world,” the brand said in a statement to TMZ.

DaBaby also had a message for the “brands, networks or artists who like to benefit from black rappers,” adding, “keep your money next time we’re NI ** AS people too.”
