DaBaby booted from Lollapalooza after homophobic comments

FILE - DaBaby attends the world premiere of"Power Book III: Raising Kanan" at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Thursday, July 15, 2021, in New York. DaBaby was cut Sunday, Aug. 1, 2021 from Lollapalooza's closing lineup following crude and homophobic remarks he made last week at a Miami-area music festival.

The Grammy-nominated artist, whose name is Jonathan Kirk, had been scheduled as a closing act on the final night of the four-day music festival in downtown Chicago. Lollapalooza organizers tweeted Sunday that rapper Young Thug would perform at 9 p.m. instead. While on stage, the rapper called out members of the LGBTQ community and people with HIV and AIDS. Using crude language, he asked attendees who weren't gay men or people affected by HIV or AIDS to raise their cellphone flashlights, and he incorrectly said the disease would “make you die in two or three weeks.”

You can say the N-word all day, but say something about gays you’re CANCELLED...? Make it make sense.... 😒

Da Baby, Cancelled

Never heard of him. 🤷‍♀️

Dababy must be talking about himself. It is evidence that people who slant, name call, or use crude language to attack other groups are hiding in plain sight. Lollapalooza2021

Who? 🤔

Freedom of speech is a mf

If people wish to know what real music is they need to reference (the '60s the seventies the eighties and the 90s!!!)

The names these people come up with these days are pathetic! Any performer named dababy doesn't deserve a penny from anybody! These want to be artists need to stop coming up with such stupid names and start making actual legitimate music! 1/2

DaBabyDaBaby just retire from rap with your millions of dollars then speak your mind and laugh when people get upset. Once your on your own and not depending on people to give u money you'll be truly free.

Great!!!

How can a guy in leopard skin slippers be homophobic?

This goes the other way as well, right? When LGBT ppl make disparaging and hateful remarks towards opposite sex couples? Are members of the lgbt community getting kicked from venues and also being held accountable? Asking for a friend.

He’s an adult, no one made him say what he said; words and actions have consequences. Live, learn or lose; his choice.

Now do Matt Damon. Maybe he put that out there to prove he's not gonna get much backlash... because that's stupid to just announce.

Good!

Action… consequences 😂😂.. I bet he gon learn tho

A real thug

This is why y’all not ready to hear I started Covid

Don’t be homophobic

DaBaby booted from Lollapalooza after homophobic commentsCHICAGO (AP) — Rapper DaBaby was cut Sunday from Lollapalooza's closing lineup following crude and homophobic remarks he made last week at a Miami-area music festival. The Grammy-nominated artist, whose name is Jonathan Kirk, had been scheduled as a closing act on the final night of the four-day music festival in downtown Chicago. 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. In the important BLM, anti-racism, social shift it is time to also talk openly about the homophobia in black male culture.
