Rapper DaBaby has been dropped from two major music 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 City, 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 New York City the greatest city in the world," organizers said.
