DaBaby has had a hell of a two weeks since the Rolling Loud festival with his homophobic and bizarre remarks on HIV and AIDS that he’s fumbled through a number of comments before finally making a decent apology about 6 days ago. And we gave him credit for the apology as it wasn’t one of those “Sorry, but” apologies” that he kept repeating, seeking to defend what he said playing victim. We’ve even left him alone since because even though he likely didn’t write it, his team at least had enough sense to do what they should have from the beginning which is to write a concise statement apologizing and then leave it alone.
Now all the progress DaBaby made with his last apology went right down the drain with him deleting his apology. He has been called out by Cher, Elton John along with a host of others and a number of festivals, probably at least 5 have all cancelled his scheduled appearances at the moment. As someone pointed out to us, he has a collossal amount of music streams so he’ll likely get past this. But that isn’t the point. People are calling this an attack by the “Alphabet mafia,” a pejorative name for the LGBT community, but that’s not so. When you apologize and clearly don’t mean it, the public isn’t going to care. So if he gets another handful of appearances cancelled, there’s a segment of the community that’s not going to care.
DaBaby is one stupid mthfkr. He deleted his apology to the LGBT community. This has nothing to do with forcing an agenda down anyone’s throat. He double and tripled down on what he did wrong and still at it. Like how dumb can you be? Apologize and stfu

In short, DaBaby is just one stupid mthfkr. What was the purpose of this? And let’s be clear, times have changed, the things you could get away with in the past don’t fly today. And another aspect of this that has gotten others in trouble like Boosie is the fact that Lil Nas X got dragged into this who did absolutely nothing. And there is a reason DaBaby has been criticized and not others like Jadakiss who we were reminded used the word f**got during his Verzuz battle at Madison Square Garden and that’s because DaBaby made his comments at the Rolling Loud Festival, hip hop’s biggest event of the year. Generally people don’t get to that stage which has about 4x the audience of Madison Square Garden acting up. So naturally he was going to get the reaction he received. Everyone but him saw that coming. At this point, whatever happens happens. He’s clearly bringing it all on himself and doesn’t deserve any type of sympathy.
Not him saying “nvm” 😭?? https://t.co/hE93oOonkC

DaBaby shot himself in the foot, then set himself on fire then jumped off a cliff and now has decided to nuke his own ghost ALL BECAUSE he’d rather continue to be an asshole than make money and do what he loves. Most people are just people but some of these niggas are PARABLES.
