Over a month after its release, H.E.R.’s critically acclaimed debut album – ‘Back of My Mind’ (click here to stream) – is still at the front of the line on R&B charts as it’s found at #5 on this week’s edition of the tally.

Dua Lipa may have ascended to the top of the charts with ‘Levitating’ collaborator DaBaby, but that isn’t stopping her from voicing her disgust at the homophobic remarks he made about gay people at Rolling Loud Miami. 

As reported, the MC shocked the fans at the festival, when he randomly said:

“If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, then put your cellphone lighter up. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking d**k in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”

In the time since, the backlash has grown enormously – particularly after the rapper seemingly doubled down on his comments while ironically trying to extinguish the flames of anger.

Now, as the fury burns hotter, Lipa is the latest name to weigh in.

The hard-hitting single, which was co-produced by Kanye West, has been making waves thanks to its unbridled lyrics and its cinematic music video.
