Dua Lipa is ‘Horrified’ By DaBaby’s Homophobic Rant at Rolling Loud
Dua Lipa said that DaBaby’s homophobic and sexist rant during his Rolling Loud set doesn’t sound like the artist she thought she knew.
The 25-year-old singer and songwriter, who worked on “Levitating” with DaBaby last year wrote on her Instagram Stories, “I’m surprised and horrified at DaBaby’s comments. I really don’t recognize 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 and fight the stigma and ignorance around HIV/AIDS.”
DaBaby told the crowd at his Rolling Loud set Sunday night (July 25) to put up their cell phone lights, “If you didn’t show up today with HIV/AIDS or other STDs that’ll make you die in 2-3 weeks” and “Fellas, if you didn’t suck a n—– d— in the parking lot.”
After receiving major warranted backlash, DaBaby tried clearing things up on Twitter writing, “I tell fans to put a cellphone light in the air y’all start a million man March. I told you y’all digested that wrong Man shruggingbut I ain’t gone lie I’m impressed. Now show this same amount of support when a racist cop kill one of our black ass…YA NOT.”

He added another Tweet writing, “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. But the LGBT community… I ain’t trippin on y’all, do you. y’all business is y’all business.”
