DaBaby on the red carpet at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, at the Los Angeles Convention Center on March 14, 2021 in Los Angeles.was roundly criticized for his homophobic comments onstage at Rolling Loud Miami on Sunday night, GLAAD has released a response, calling the rapper's remarks"inaccurate, hurtful, and harmful" to the LGBTQ community and those living with HIV.
During his set at Rolling Loud's closing night, DaBaby told the crowd,"If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up! Ladies, if your p---y smell like water, put your cellphone lighter up! Fellas, if you ain’t sucking di-- in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter...
DaShawn Usher, GLAAD's associate director of communities of color, responded to DaBaby's comments on Wednesday , urging that he take full accountability for his words and work to do better."The rhetoric that DaBaby used is inaccurate, hurtful, and harmful to the LGBTQ community and the estimated 1.2 million Americans living with HIV,” Usher said in a statement issued toand shared on Twitter.
"While DaBaby has made haphazard attempts to ‘apologize,’ actions need to be taken for full accountability and changes to do better in the future," the statement continues."It further confirms what GLAAD reported last year in the State of HIV Stigma Study that stigma and misinformation around HIV is widespread, and there is much work to be done to educate the public, including entertainers.
Social media lit up over DaBaby's comments, which were livestreamed Sunday night on YouTube from Rolling Loud Miami. His fellow artists had something to say too, with
he needs to be canceled!!! done! finished! Get tf outta here 'do better next time'
Wait, Dababy isnt gay himself? Look at that outfit! Also, isn't Levatating the gayest song of the year? I mean that in a good way.
من هذا 💛💛💛🐅🐅 Will we see him soon?
Yes more actions should be done but instead of sitting here thinking what to do about dababy let’s think about the future and make sure that no one says or repeats what he said when at places like rolling loud cos sitting here cancelling him is a bitch boy move.
love to my fellow queers; i trust DABABY will grow xoxo
His apology is anything but heartfelt. His actions are beyond cringey from beating up people to talking trash
Even Elton John is on his ass
His career is over👍🏽
finished singer
