DaBaby Apologizes to LGBTQ+ Community for ‘Hurtful and Triggering Comments’

DaBaby Apologizes to LGBTQ+ Community for, ‘Hurtful and Triggering Comments’.

On August 2, DaBaby took to social media to explain and apologize for his homophobic remarks at Rolling Loud Miami.

.

In his statement posted to Instagram, DaBaby said he felt “demolish[ed]” by others before he had a chance to “learn from [his] mistakes.”.

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, DaBaby, via Instagram.

He said he needed was “education” and “kindness,” not for people to “publicly [work] against [him].”.

Having people I know publicly working against me— knowing that what I needed was education on these topics and guidance— has been challenging.

I appreciate the many people who came to me with kindness, who reached out to me privately to offer wisdom, education and resources.

That’s what I needed and it was received.

DaBaby ended his message with an apology to the LGBTQ+ community, saying his comments about HIV/AIDS were “misinformed.”.

I want to apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made.

Again, I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS and I know education on this is important.

Love to all.

God bless.
