If DaBaby wasn’t already speeding fast toward ‘CancelledVille’ thanks to his now viral homophobic rant at the ‘Rolling Loud’ concert festival Sunday (July 25), he’s well on his way to expediting the trip thanks to what he considers an explanation of his intent.
As reported here, the rapper (born Jonathan Kirk) pissed of members of the LGBTQ community and their allies when he took time from his set to tell the ‘Rolling Loud’ crowd to put their phones up “if you didn’t show up today with HIV/AIDS or other STDs that’ll make you die in 2-3 weeks” and “Fellas, if you didn’t suck a n**** d*** in the parking lot.”
Needless to say, the insensitive commentary led to quite the hoopla and even garnered hundreds of thousands of angry tweets in response since going viral.
Finally breaking his silence on the matter, Kirk – as seen in the video above – took to social media Monday (July 26) to say:
‘I wasn’t going on a rant,’ he said before later continuing, ‘even my gay fans don’t have AIDS…my gay fans don’t go for that. They aren’t nasty gay n***as. They ain’t junkies.’
Claiming the press is undeservingly bringing ‘negative attention’ to his ‘classy gay fans,’ DaBaby finished his reaction video by asserting the short clip of his homophobic comments from Sunday was taken out of context and not wholly reflective of the point he was trying to make.
The Panini Remix says hi
He’s going from bad to worse. He a good publicist if he wants a career after rap
Just shut up. Sheesh 🙄 😒
Why are y’all so surprised?
He’s a convicted felon who became famous
The shock!
He just has a larger platform than the prison platform. That’s it.
Stop making stupid people famous!!!!
He didn’t lie. B******* f*** are scum. A*** monsters.
A*** is from Africa. If you’re going to blame anyone, blame blacks, not gays. “B*******” s** is perfectly natural.
It went from worse to worser
😩😩
Gurl, this is 2021 nobody shames people for having any kind of disease.
Depends on how you got it. A little shame is good for self improvement.
Data and statistics say.otherwise….stigma discourages testing thus driving up the.transmission rates..
What he said was ignorant, But let’s stop with the fake outrage. ppl on Twitter & influencers are paid to create fake hate online to make the general public think something is bigger than what it is.
You’re not important.
Worry about your deranged fave!!!!
Omg you are so right Kyle!
He still thinks it’s only promiscuous people who get hìv.
This isnt 1995.
This!
Do these words really make sense in his mind? Why does someone have to be nasty for having A*** or for being hooked on any one of the drugs he promotes in his music? And he mentioned STDs in his rant like that’s not a consequence of the reckless s-e-x he brags about in some of his songs.
Clarified- ok so you get your babies drank in hotels by your special class gay folk. K
😂😂😂
Glad I can PROUDLY say I have never heard a single one of his songs in my life and certainly won’t start doing so now.
So what about people born with a*** and or lied to? They nasty too? And top of that I know he f*** raw !!!
Interesting, that this scumbag DaBaby was the toast of the town while he was marketing his music to vulnerable black children, promoting illicit s**, drug use , and drug distribution. He used all manner of foul language in this endeavor. But it is his remarks on implied gay debauchery that galvanized the public shaming of this musical thug. HAHAHa unbelievable! At least the Satanic worshipping Nas x called it out, now there is a demonic musician than owns it, doesn’t let you speculate.
Well, maybe black parents can learn a few things from the gays and be more responsible for what their kids consume. The silence on the things you mentioned can be blamed on our complacent culture and the irresponsible adults & communities that are raising these kids.
Maybe your mom should have kept her legs closed.
This s*** strong black man told no lies.
As an executive director of a community health agency that focuses on H** care; testing and case management. These types of statements are not only ignorant but dangerous. Ppl who actively take medication for H** can live as long as anyone else. Furthermore, if the are medication compliant they cannot transmit the v****. H** does not care about your name, favorite color, address or what church u go to, it can affect anyone. (Ppl who are positive are no have not done anything differently from the rest of us…they had unprotected s** at least once).
These types of rants promote stigma and really discourages resting due to fear of this type of ostrazation. These types of rants are partly responsible for the high.h** rates in the Black.community.
Voice activation types.
Ughhh it discourages testing.
