DaBaby‘s easily been the hottest topic in music since his controversial showing at Rolling Loud last week (July 25) saw him launch a homophobic rant against ‘men who suck d*ck in parking lots’ and people living with HIV/AIDS.

Related to the latter, ‘Pose’ star Angelica Ross is the latest celebrity to make headlines for her commentary on the embattled rapper.  Unlike the likes of Elton John, Dua Lipa, Madonna, Miley Cyrus, and others before her, Ross watched the tide turn on her!
