« I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS and I know education on this is important, » the rapper said.
Rapper DaBaby apologized Monday for his remarks about HIV/AIDS and the LGBTQ+ community during his July 25 set at the Rolling Loud music festival. The apology comes after he faced heavy backlash from other artists and fans, and after dropped him over his comments. « I want to apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made, » Kirk wrote on Instagram. « Again, I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS and I know education on this is important. Love to all. God bless. » During the Rolling Loud set, the six-time Grammy-nominated artist gave a profanity-laden speech in which he asked concertgoers to raise their phones if they had not performed oral sex on a man in the parking lot and if they did not have HIV/AIDS. « 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 cell phone light up, » Kirk said.
