Dionne Warwick is the latest name to weigh in on the DaBaby debacle.
As covered extensively, the rapper has been slammed in earnest after making remarks on stage at Rolling Loud Miami that were homophobic and insensitive to those living with HIV.
The backlash has been both big and blazing, with DaBaby receiving critique from his contemporaries and corporations – some of whom have dropped him from collaborations.
Madonna was one of the many who clapped back at the seemingly defiant rapper, lambasting his hateful words and their impact.
Now, another legend – Dionne Warwick – is speaking up and out to thank Madonna for the teachable moment.
Full story below…
Taking to Twitter, Warwick wrote:
“First, thank you @Madonna for giving a well deserved response and education to DaBaby’s uninformed statement. His speaking without knowledge was his gross mistake, and I applaud you for taking the time to give him the opportunity to now hopefully “Think before speaking”.”

He said how he truly felt and everyone that condones what he says are just like him.
What’s so hard to understand that yes you can say whatever you want, but that doesn’t take away the fact that there are going to be repercussions? Go ahead! Say what you wanna say, but don’t expect everyone to just sit there and not say anything.
Also, the fact that he is on a platform that he is, how did he not expect this? The millions of people he reaches everyday…come on. This is 2021, not 1875. Times have changed and media is now viable in almost everyone’s hands.
Very well said. I agree!
Excuses for blatant ignorance or hatred should never be tolerated or celebrated.
Safe s e x is a must for everyone. Use condoms ok?
Unfortunately your mom didn’t have safe s** and that’s why you’re here
The same can be said about your mom with your hateful ass
