It’s been a few weeks since “cancel culture” tried to get rapper DaBaby up out of here for his homophobic comments at Rolling Loud Miami last month.
This past weekend During Hot97’s Summer Jam in New Jersey, DaBaby told the crowd that he “never, ever meant to offend anybody.”
Hot97’s Summer Jam was one of the few concerts that didn’t drop DaBaby following his Rolling Loud Miami comments. The rapper told his fans to shine their cellphone flashlights if they “didn’t show up today with HIV/AIDS, any of the deadly sexually transmitted diseases that will make you die in two to three weeks.”
The rapper reiterated his comment later when he said his LGBTQ supporters “don’t have HIV / AIDS” since they are not “nasty” or “junkies.”
After the excessive backlash, DaBaby made excuses on Twitter and Instagram, which he later deleted.
At the start of his Summer Jam set, DaBaby aired a video montage thanking Hot97 for “allowing me to share my gift, share my blessing with y’all out here live on this stage amongst all the chaos and all the backlash. So hats off to y’all for that. … They accepted my sincerity and all my apologies when I said I never, ever meant to offend anybody or say anything to make anybody feel any type of way live on that stage a few weeks ago.”
He continued: “And Hot 97 was also willing to stick they neck out on the line, willing to go against all odds with everything going on out here in the world — they still allowed me to come right here on this stage and utilize their platform. They helped the world move forward and become a better place and not dismiss people off mistakes made like we ain’t human.”
Complex reported that DaBaby allegedly debuted his hit “Cry Baby” with Megan Thee Stallion and confronted the crowd live after the video was finished.
“Check this out,” he said, “Other than the people that, you know, was truly offended, I feel like the rest of y’all motherfuckers being cry babies.”
