AceShowbiz - DaBaby irked many when he made homophobic remarks at Rolling Loud in July 2021. During his set, he told attendees, "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." While Demi Lovato and Elton John debunked DaBaby's misinformation, T.I. spoke up in defense of the Grammy Award nominee.
DaBaby initially refused to apologize, before he acknowledged on Twitter that what he had said was "insensitive. " Despite his apology, the "Suge" hitmaker was cut from several music festivals that had already booked her, but that didn't last long. In August, he made his first performance since the controversy at Hot 97 Summer Jam 2021 and returned to Rolling Loud in NYC, four months after his homophobic rant at the Miami edition of the festival.
