DaBaby has faced significant backlash over the homophobic comments he made while appearing on Rolling Loud Miami in July. After his performance, he released the music video for “Giving What It’s Supposed to Give” and ended the visual with the message: “Don’t Fight Hate With Hate. I apologize that I am how you want the freedom to be you. “
DaBaby released a statement yesterday (August 2nd) in which he wrote: “I would like to apologize to the LGBTQ + community for the hurtful and offensive comments I made. Again, I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV / AIDS, and I know it is important to be educated about it. “
