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.

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.

The magic didn’t stop there, however.

In addition to cranking out some of her own chart-toppers at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Cyrus tapped into the classics of a number of gay icons including Cyndi Lauper, Cher (as we reported here), and Queen of Pop Madonna (who recently made headlines for her own Pride extravaganza).

3LW‘s introductory hit, 2000’s ‘No More (Baby I’ma Do Right),’ may have put Kiely Williams on the map alongside group members Adrienne Bailon and Naturi Naughton, but for Williams the blessing has also come as an enduring curse.

Over the last few years, the song’s resurged in popularity – not because of renewed interest but due to ridicule of her singing (namely the line ‘playa please’).

Fed up with the jokes, the now 34-year-old – hot on the promo trail for her new BET reality show ‘The Encore’ (which premiered June 9) – took to our friends at ET Online recently to combat the longstanding rumor that she has a speech impediment.
