DaBaby has apologized for his “hurtful and triggering” comments against the LGBTQ community in an Instagram post Monday.
The rapper was dropped by Lollapalooza, Governors Ball and Day N Vegas festivals following his comments regarding AIDS and the LGBTQ community. Lollapalooza, which ran from July 29 to Aug. 1, announced DaBaby’s canceled performance on Twitter, saying the festival “was founded on diversity, inclusivity, respect, and love.”
“Social Media moves so fast that people want to demolish you before you even have the opportunity to grow, educate, and learn from your mistakes,” he wrote.
“As a man who has had to make his own way from very difficult circumstances, having people I know publicly working against me — knowing that what I needed was education on these topics and guidance — has been challenging.
