DaBaby has issued a new statement after being dropped from Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, and Day N Vegas, following homophobic comments he made while onstage at Rolling Loud in July. It reads:
Social media moves so fast that people want to demolish you before you even have the opportunity to grow, educate, and learn from your mistakes. As a man who has had to make his own way from very difficult circumstances, having people I know publicly working against me-- knowing that what I needed was education on these topics and guidance-- has been challenging. I appreciate the many people who came to me with kindness, who reached out to me privately to offer wisdom, education, and resources. That's what I needed and it was received.
I want to apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made. Again, I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS and I know education on this is important. Love to all. God bless.
