Aside from his baby mama drama, DaBaby is still recovering from the backlash he received over his Rolling Loud comments that almost got his tale canceled! As we previously reported, over the summer, DaBaby hit the stage during the festival and took a moment to say, “fellas, if you ain’t sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone light up,” he told the crowd while performing. He also made comments about HIV which Elton John, Dua Lipa, and Madonna all condemned. After being dropped from multiple festivals before issuing an apology to the LGBTQ+ community for his “hurtful and triggering comments,” he later met with 11 organizations to be educated.
Lil Nas X said in his interview that he believes DaBaby is just part of the “hypermasculine” rap scene and hopes he can actually grow from that entire experience: “I’m not going to lie, I feel bad for DaBaby. I hope he grows from it. I hope he’s able to. But I don’t know. The whole landscape is very hypermasculine. It’s so great and so amazing that all these female rappers are breaking through. And, in a way, female rappers are the biggest rappers right now,” Nas X said. He added, “I do feel like this newer generation of rappers who are coming in, and the ones who are here, are going to have to reshape their thoughts. Because change is happening. There are going to be so many gay rappers. There are going to be more trans people in the industry and whatnot. Ten years from now, everything that I’m doing won’t even seem like it was shocking.”
While DaBaby seems to be getting past that moment, he’s now dealing with a whole bunch of drama after he went public with issues with singer DaniLeigh. Get caught up below!
