Lollapalooza Drops DaBaby Over Homophobic Comments Hours Before His Performance
HuffPost
The music festival said it is "founded on diversity, inclusivity, respect, and love."
Hours before rapper DaBaby was set to headline the Lollapalooza Music Festival on Sunday night, organizers pulled him from the event’s line-up over his recent homophobic statements. The Grammy-nominated rapper, known for hits like “Rockstar” and a remix of Dua Lipa’s “Levitating,” has faced major backlash since making homophobic and misogynistic remarks — specifically harmful and inaccurate comments about people living with HIV/AIDS — at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami last weekend. In the days since, his onstage rant has been widely condemned by music industry titans, including Elton John, Madonna and Questlove, while the fashion company BoohooMAN announced it would be cutting ties with the rapper.More Related News
