Over its 63-year history, only 11 songs can boast spending at least 31 weeks in the Hot 100’s top 10. Before this week, only one boasted a female lead – Country star Leann Rimes‘ gargantuan 1997 hit, ‘How Do I Live.’
That changed this week, however, after Dua Lipa‘s ‘Levitating’ rose into the ranks.
DaBaby has tasted sweet success in recent years, but his popularity has been souring of late in the wake of shocking homophobic and anti-HIV comments he made on-stage at Rolling Loud Miami.
As extensively covered here on That Grape Juice, the rapper was slammed in earnest by his peers, dropped from brand campaigns, and eliminated from a growing list of festivals following the remarks.
And while many have rolled their eyes at the defensive tone of his “apologies,” the MC has found support from none other than Nick Cannon.
As reported, the media-maestro stopped by The Breakfast Club this week and during his visit, he was quizzed on DaBaby’s predicament. Largely in light of how he managed to weather his own firestorm after making anti-Semitic comments last year.
Chopping it up with Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy, Cannon claimed that the situation with DaBaby is a teachable moment of “education” for the star. He went on, however, to slam cancel culture and express disapproval of “mob rule.”
