Rapper DaBaby apologises for HIV comments as Boohoo drops him
28 July 2021
Rapper DaBaby has apologised for comments he made about people with HIV while onstage at a US music festival.
He tweeted last night that his comments were "insensitive" adding he had "no intentions [of] offending anybody" before offering "my apologies".
The rapper has now been dropped by online fashion retailer Boohoo, who he had a clothing deal with.
It comes after Dua Lipa, whose song Levitating he features on, said she was "surprised and horrified" by his words.
"Anybody who done ever been [affected] by AIDS/HIV y'all got the right to be upset," DaBaby said.
He also addressed the LGBT community in his tweet saying "I ain't trippin on y'all, do you. y'all business is y'all business."

During his set at Rolling Loud Miami on Sunday night (July 25), DaBaby made homophobic comments while addressing the crowd. If you didnt show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases thatll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up, he said. Fellas, if you aint sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up! After widespread criticism, the rapper said that his gay fans arent nasty gay n----as or junkies.
