DaBaby Apologizes for 'Hurtful and Triggering' LBTGQ

After his headlining sets at Lollapalooza, Governors Ball and Day N Vegas festivals were canceled within 24 hours of each other, DaBaby has issued another, more articulated apology to the LGBTQ community.

While it starts off defensively, his statement posted to Instagram does include a more thorough apology than the half-baked ones he offered last week in the wake of his homophobic comments about AIDS and the gay community at the Rolling Loud festival and afterward.

“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,” he wrote. “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 knew education on this is important. Love to all. God bless. – DaBaby”

A rep for GLAAD, which spoke out forcefully against DaBaby’s comments last week (see below), was checking for a response to the rapper’s latest statement at the time of this article’s publication.
