DaBaby Seemingly Recants Apology For Homophobic Rhetoric

DaBaby has seemingly recanted the apology he posted on Instagram following his homophobic remarks during the Rolling Loud Music Festival in Miami last month. According to Entertainment Weekly, the rapper deleted the apology from Instagram.

As Sister 2 Sister reported, the rapper apologized after he received backlash for making comments about HIV/AIDS that were

untrue along with homophobic remarks.

DaBaby, whose real name is Jonathan Lyndale Kirk, did not remove his apology from Twitter. However, in the Twitter apology, Kirk doesn’t take accountability for his remarks and blames people for “digesting” his comments the wrong way. He does make a good point though when he mentioned the lack of public outrage when another Black person dies at the hands of the police.

“If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, any of them deadly sexual transmitted diseases that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, put your cell phone light in the air,” he said. “Ladies, if your p***y smells like water, put a cell phone light in the air. Fellas, if you ain’t suckin’ d**k in the parking lot, put your cell phone lights in the air.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if treated, people with HIV/AIDS can live long, full lives. Kirk was quickly schooled by the LBGTQ community and their allies after he made the comments during his concert at Rolling Loud. DaBaby also made misogynic comments.

The rapper was dropped by several venues and music festivals for his homophobic comments, including Chicago’s Lollapalooza. Kanye West also cut ties with the rapper and removed the remix of his song “Nah Nah Nah” featuring DaBaby from Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal, Variety reports.

We’ll see how his bag is affected.
