A complete timeline of DaBaby's homophobic comments and controversies
DaBaby has sparked a string of controversies this year, which eventually escalated to condemnation from fellow stars, brands, and festivals.
The 29-year-old rapper, whose real identify is Jonathan Kirk, has been enjoying a much brighter spotlight since his first No. 1 smack, "Rockstar," was crowned 2020's song of the summer and nominated for document of the year at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
However, his comments and behavior have also drawn greater scrutiny. Most notably, DaBaby has been called out for working with alleged abuser Tory Lanez and making homophobic comments onstage.
Here's a complete timeline of the criticism he's faced.
January 2021: DaBaby was criticized online for collaborating with Tory Lanez
On January 5, Tory Lanez teased a forthcoming collaboration with DaBaby.
The announcement, which didn't add a song title or release date, came shortly after Lanez was charged with felony assault for allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
Megan was shot in both of her feet in July 2020 and underwent surgery to extract the bullets. One month later, she publicly named Lanez as her assailant and ha
Rapper DaBaby has been dropped from two major tune festivals — first Lollapalooza and now Governor's Ball — after making homophobic remarks and comments about HIV/AIDS.
The 29-year-old rapper was supposed to headline Lollapalooza in Chicago on the final night of the four-day event but was dropped from the lineup early Sunday. "Lollapalooza was founded on diversity, inclusivity, respect, and love. With that in mind, DaBaby will no longer be performing at Grant Park tonight," the organizers said in a statement.
Governors Ball, which is held annually in New York Urban area, followed suit and dropped the rapper on Monday. "Founders Entertainment does not and will not tolerate hate or discrimination of any kind. We welcome and celebrate the diverse communities that make Modern York City the greatest city in the world," organizers said.
The fallout comes after DaBaby's comments at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami 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 insert your cell phone not heavy up," the rapper said onstage. He also asked for men there who did
