(CNN)More bad news for DaBaby.
The Lollapalooza musical festival canceled the rapper's performance on Sunday after his comments that were widely condemned as homophobic.
At the Rolling Loud music festival in Miami on July 25, DaBaby made false and insulting comments about gay men and HIV. He also spoke crudely about women.
DaBaby defended his comments later on Instagram.
"I wasn't going on a rant. That's called a call to action. That's what that's called, cause I'm a live performer," he said. "I'm the best live performer."
Elton John, Madonna and Dua Lipa were among the names speaking out to condemn the comments.
Dua Lipa, who collaborated with the rapper on a remix of her song "Levitating," said in a statement on her Instagram stories that she was "surprised and horrified at DaBaby's comments."
At least one celebrity has spoken out in support of DaBaby.
"If you gonna have the Lil Nas X video and him living his truth, you gonna damn sure have people like DaBaby who gonna speak their truth," rapper T.I. said on Instagram about rapper Lil Nas X being openly gay.
Rappers Young Thug and G Herbo will take DaBaby's spots at the festival, Lollapalooza announced.
The festival tweeted that it was "founded on diversity, inclusivity, respect and love," and that DaBaby's performance was canceled "with that in mind."

But homophobia is a black thing. You saying he can’t be black and call a faggot a faggot. Man! That’s racist!
Gee, we will all miss the Baby performing.........
I just never got into rap........
White gays rule in the PC hierarchy, it would seem.
This is all DaBaby‘s fault for not changing his name to “DaBaby DaBiden”. Nobody would have dared to challenge him in that case.
Surprised 😯 and horrified 😱
Don’t be a baby...oh wait
..he is dababy.
Is this a bombshell?
“But homophobia is a black thing.”
Homophobia?
Oh, you mean the entirely normal aversion that normal people instinctively feel for perverts.
That’s a human thing.
We need a large number of in-patient medical facilities at which same-sex attraction disorder can be treated.
DaBaby's being replaced by Young Thug. The jokes write themselves...
The natural result of moral relativism. "Truth" is relative. Everyone lives their own "truth". The end game is totalitarianism because power will decide the truth.
Gay whites are above Blacks on the liberal victim spectrum
Were you really surprised and horrified?
Had you ever actually listened to any of his music?
Made “false” comments about homosexuals?
I very much doubt that
I know none of these people. Well Elton and Madonna but they’re ancient.
Oy vey!
You'd have to shut down the entire rap industry if that was verboten.
Is Perry Farrell still in charge?
I think so!! 😀
