What man refers to himself as, Da Baby? WTFU!

Guessing the iHeartFestival gig in Vegas will do the same. DaBaby

Dababy was just stating stats, as the rate of HIV and sexual diseases is high for gays

sad what we allow to be considered offensive, we seem to be obsessed w/catchy phrases when “phobic”, (phobia) Is a mental disorder creating an unusually fear towards something, not a stance on a group’s sexual preference, dude didn’t say anything worse then your kids on fortnite

To the innocent bystander who knows nothing about rap, imagine learning ‘Young Thug’ being the replacement for ‘DaBaby’. Reads funny.

I’m sure the remarks weren’t made directly at Lori Uglyfoot ……wow! But, the main question is………was he wearing a mask?

Young Thug is an upgrade

I dont think white people should be whitesplaining the ideas of a black man...

Poor DaBaby. . . Baby Thug closing it out!

Do some of the names of Rappers have an adverse influence on our young children? And, what is the reason these stage users choose these names that imply crime or undesirable people? I hesitate to call it entertainment. Just asking.

Sucks for everyone involved.... ▪️for those hurt by what he said ▪️for those wanting to see him perform ▪️for him and those who lose a paycheck Hopefully there will be some honest remorse and we can choose not to write him off for good.

In the important BLM, anti-racism, social shift it is time to also talk openly about the homophobia in black male culture.

I read his name as 'DaBooty,' like this dude isn't gay. With a name like 'DaBaby.' If you know what goes on at the underground mansion parties.........you know the undercover gay lifestyle these rappers have to partake in by their master-record company handlers.
