AceShowbiz - DaBaby is facing heavy backlash again. The "Suge" rapper has been slammed by critics after he urged women in the crowd to pull out their boobs during his pre-Grammys performance.
While performing at Drai's Beach Club in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 2, the 30-year-old hip-hop star told his female audience to take off their tops, per Variety. "I don't discriminate," he said, before asking out loud, "Pull your titties out if you love DaBaby." The outlet reported that he repeated the phrase at least three times.
Upon learning of his inappropriate comments, social media critics took to Twitter to address the matter. "DaBaby act like a hood n***a that's oblivious to anything outside the hood. You can't tell ya fans to pull they [sic] titties out like it's 1998 fam," one user tweeted. "DABABY WHY??" a separate person said, adding a man facepalming emoji. Someone else chimed in, "Idk how he still has a fan base."
This wasn't the first time DaBaby got slammed over his insensitive remarks. The "Rockstar" spitter faced heavy backlash after letting out homophobic comments during his set on Rolling Loud Miami 2021's final day on July 25.
"[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 a cellphone light in the air," he exclaimed at the time. He continued, "Ladies, if your p***y smell like water, put a cellphone light in the air. Fellas, if you ain't sucking d**k in the parking lot, put a cellphone light in the air."
Following the controversial remarks, DaBaby was removed as a headliner from several big shows, including New York City's Governors Ball, Austin City Limits, iHeartRadio, Lollapalooza and U.K.'s Parklife festivals. Dua Lipa also removed him from a remix of her hit "Levitating".
DaBaby, whose real name is Jonathan Lyndale Kirk, had apologized for his homophobic remarks. "I want to apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made," he penned. "Again, I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS and I know education on this is important. Love to all. God bless."
The rapper was also grateful for those who reached out to him and educated him about the matter. "I appreciate the many people who came to me with kindness, who reached out to me privately to offer wisdom, education, and resources," he added, "That's what I needed and it was received."
