DaBaby’s marathon of non-apologies continues. On Wednesday afternoon, the 29-year-old rapper released the official music video for his latest track, “Giving What It’s Supposed to Give.” The visual concludes with a brief message addressing the controversy around his homophobic rant over the weekend at Rolling Loud Miami, where he propagated misinformation about HIV and AIDS. “If you […]

GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) issued a response on Wednesday addressing DaBaby’s homophobic remarks during his performance at Rolling Loud Miami over the weekend.   “The rhetoric that DaBaby used is inaccurate, hurtful, and harmful to the LGBTQ community and the estimated 1.2 million Americans living with HIV,” DaShawn Usher, associate director of communities of color for GLAAD, wrote in a statement released […]
