Yet another music festival has dropped DaBaby from its lineup after he made homophobic comments during his recent performance at Rolling Loud Miami.
DaBaby is no longer on the lineup for Day N Vegas festival. The news comes not long after both Lollapalooza and Governors Ball also dropped the rapper.
“DaBaby will no longer be appearing at Day N Vegas 2021,” the organizers of the festival revealed on Monday. “Roddy Ricch has been added to the lineup.” The festival is currently scheduled to start in Las Vegas on November 12, 2021. It was not specified whether he had been removed because of his recent comments, or if pulled out. The rapper was quietly removed from the lineup for UK-based festival Parklife last week, although a rep for the rapper claimed he’s not playing the festival because of COVID-19 postponements not due to his current controversy.
The news of yet another festival dropping the rapper comes after numerous celebrities, including Elton John and Questlove, criticized DaBaby for his offensive remarks. The rapper was also dropped by boohooMAN just a month after launching his first collaboration with the brand, and he was censured by the organization Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
The backlash against DaBaby was sparked after the rapper shared highly questionable comments about HIV and AIDS during his set at Rolling Loud Miami last month.
“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 put your cellphone lighter up,” he said to the crowd in a clip that went viral. “Ladies, if your pussy smell like water, put your cellphone lighter up. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”
While many were quick to criticize him, some including T.I. defended the rapper. Boosie Badazz, meanwhile, attacked the LGBTQ community in an angry, slur-laden rant that served as his response to the backlash.
