DaBaby Apologizes to
LGBTQ+ Community for, ‘Hurtful and Triggering Comments’.
On August 2, DaBaby took to social media
to explain and apologize for his homophobic
remarks at Rolling Loud Miami. .
In his statement posted to Instagram, DaBaby said
he felt “demolish[ed]” by others before he had a
chance to “learn from [his] mistakes.”.
Social media moves so fast that people
want to demolish you before you even
have the opportunity to grow, educate,
and learn from your mistakes, DaBaby, via Instagram.
He said he needed
was “education” and
“kindness,” not for
people to “publicly
[work] against [him].”.
Having people I know publicly working
against me— knowing that what I needed
was education on these topics and
guidance— has been challenging. , DaBaby, via Instagram.
I appreciate the many people who came
to me with kindness, who reached out to
me privately to offer wisdom, education
and resources. That’s what I needed and
it was received. , DaBaby, via Instagram.
DaBaby ended his message with
an apology to the LGBTQ+ community, saying his
comments about HIV/AIDS were “misinformed.”.
I want to apologize to the LGBTQ+
community for the hurtful and triggering
comments I made. Again, I apologize for
my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS
and I know education on this is important.
Love to all. God bless. , DaBaby, via Instagram.
DaBaby initially doubled down on his
comments when he began receiving backlash
from fans and celebrities. .
His sudden reversal comes just as festivals,
including Governors Ball and Lollapalooza,
announced his removal from their lineups.
