We can all agree that the past couple of weeks have served Charlotte rapper DaBaby a slice of humble pie. After he made unfavorable comments about HIV and gay men during his set at Rolling Loud Miami 2021, social media was set ablaze. Fans and celebrities alike have been chiming in about their distaste for his comments.
The “Ball If I Want To” rapper has clarified his comments on Instagram and issued two apologies. But, many people believe that his apologies were insincere. As a result, the rapper’s rant continues to be a hot topic. With various festivals removing the star from their lineups amid his apology, people are wondering: Why is DaBaby getting canceled? Read on to get the lowdown.
DaBaby is being canceled because of his behavior after his homophobic rant.
As the saying goes, sometimes it’s best to not fuel the fire. Following DaBaby’s comments at Rolling Loud Miami 2021 on July 25, the rapper has been pretty vocal on social media.
Immediately after the incident, DaBaby took to Instagram Stories on July 26 to clarify his statements, but it did more harm than good.
He explained that his gay fans were not fazed by his comments and that they haven’t contracted HIV/AIDS because they “aren’t nasty gay [n-words] or junkies.
Not to mention, when other celebrities like Elton John, Demi Lovato, and Questlove attempted to educate DaBaby on why his comments were offensive, DaBaby appeared to stand by his statement with various posts on social media, and even called some celebrities out.
