#Dua Lipa “Horrified” at DaBaby’s Homophobic Comments at Rolling Loud Miami

During his set at Rolling Loud Miami on Sunday night, DaBaby made homophobic comments while addressing the crowd. “If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up,” he said. “Fellas, if you ain’t sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up!” After widespread criticism, the rapper said that his gay fans aren’t “nasty gay n—-as” or “junkies.”

Dua Lipa, who collaborated with DaBaby on her remix of the Future Nostalgia song “Levitating,” wrote a response to the rapper’s remarks in an Instagram story today (July 27). “I’m surprised and horrified at DaBaby’s comments,” the post (viewed by Pitchfork) read. “I really don’t recognise this as the person I worked with. I know my fans know where my heart lies and that I stand 100% with the LGBTQ community. We need to come together to fight the stigma and ignorance around HIV/AIDS.”

DaBaby tweeted about the backlash to his comments today. “Anybody who done ever been effected by AIDS/HIV y’all got the right to be upset, what I said was insensitive even though I have no intentions on offending anybody, so my apologies,” he wrote. “But the LGBT community… I ain’t trippin on y’all, do you. y’all business is y’all business.”

During the same Rolling Loud set, DaBaby welcomed a surprise performance by Tory Lanez. The moment took place not long after a set from Megan Thee Stallion. Last year, Tory Lanez pleaded not guilty to assault with a semiautomatic handgun; Megan said that Tory Lanez shot her in that incident. Megan Thee Stallion’s representatives did not respond to Pitchfork’s requests for comment about Tory’s appearance at Rolling Loud.
