DaBaby 'homophobia' fallout continues as rapper dropped from Lollapalooza festival line-up

The fallout from comments made by DaBaby about HIV and gay men continues, after the rapper was booted off the bill of a major music festival.

DaBaby has been widely criticised for his comments, where he told audience members to put their phone lights in the air - unless they were HIV-positive or were gay men who performed sex acts in car parks.

As well as seemingly singling out those suffering from the virus, DaBaby also incorrectly asserted that it will "make you die in two or three weeks".

The Grammy-nominated rapper had been due to be one of the closing acts of Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, but was instead replaced by Young Thug, just hours before he was due to perform.

Organisers of Lollapalooza tweeted: "Lollapalooza was founded on diversity, inclusivity, respect, and love.

"With that in mind, DaBaby will no longer be performing at Grant Park tonight."

This guy is going to get VICIOUSLY cancelled. Just watch.

Sadly. I don’t have a clue what his music is. Freedom of speech is just that.

“Rap music”? First, it’s not music, it’s barely above a diarrhetic attack. Most of it is filth, worse are the types of people who embrace and celebrate it, then foist it upon our culture while their culture should remain confined to a petri dish. Oh yeah, while I’m here F@ all lefties and chicoms to hell.

Um... are men's bathrooms at freeway rest-stops okay? Asking for a friend.

free way rest stops.... my first thought was the rest room at our local Shoppers Food Warehouse, which is a notorious pickle park.
WHY??? They’re all free to move about the planet in their oh so gayness, please get a damn room like hetero couples have to.

Don’t have to watch for anything. It’s already happening.

His response lol: “His comments drew outrage and widespread condemnation, and he responded to the allegations with, “What me and my fans do at the live show, it don’t concern you n**** on the internet, or you bitter bitches on the internet.”[56] He also went on to claim that gay fans of his do not have HIV/AIDS because they are not “nasty gay n***** or junkies.”

Which is exactly why they hired an act called Young Thug.

“”Lollapalooza was founded on diversity, inclusivity, respect, and love.”

If he had directed the same comments at Unvaccinated Deplorables, he would have been celebrated. He should have gone with that.

Gotta agree. That’s definitely a LOL. Guess he’s not worried about his fans.

“Young Thug” ?

Nothing like promoting the core values of Chicago.

Listening to The Officer Tatum's take on this hot mess
"I got a bid drum that hold a hundred, this Glock promise you gonna squeeze me"
Really profound, thoughtful prose🙄🤔😖😖 But they're bent out of shape because he cracked a few fag jokes. When protected classes collide, gay, pardon the pun TRUMPS Black, though it would come as no surprise if Da baby himself is down low.
