Rapper DaBaby went from performing at the BET Awards to being booted from one of the biggest festivals in the world all because of his ridiculous homophobic remarks during a recent concert.
The organizers announced within the past few hours that his services will no longer be needed because they have decided to replace his spot with rapper Young Thug.
According to TMZ, the following statement was released by the concert producers:
DaBaby was supposed to perform at 9 PM Sunday for more than 150,000 fans, as the final act of the 4-day festival — instead, he’ll be sidelined, and Young Thug has been moved up into that slot.
The 11th-hour change is in response to the rapper’s onstage rant last weekend at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami. ICYMI … DaBaby told the audience to put their phones up, “If you didn’t show up today with HIV/AIDS or other STDs that’ll make you die in 2-3 weeks” and “Fellas, if you didn’t suck a n***a d**k in the parking lot.”
There is apparently a campaign making its rounds on social media to #CancelDaBaby and seeing that he was just dropped as a pitchman for Boohoo clothing and removed as a featured artist on the song “Levitating” after artist Due Lipa denounced his comments.
Singer Chris Brown even chimed in via his instagram stories with the following message:
Brown was one of many who have called out the rapper and while a few have defended DaBaby, the consensus at this point is that he has been canceled by many.
