Governors Ball festival has joined Lollapalooza in dropping DaBaby, who made homophobic remarks during his set at Rolling Loud Miami last week.

Multiple artists spoke out following DaBaby’s comments.

We need to come together to fight the stigma and ignorance around HIV/AIDS.” Elton John referred to DaBaby’s comments as “HIV mistruths,” adding in a tweet: “This fuels stigma and discrimination and is the opposite of what our world needs to fight the AIDS epidemic.” Madonna and Demi Lovato both shared Instagram posts decrying DaBaby’s statements.

Following widespread criticism, DaBaby said that his gay fans aren’t “nasty gay n----as” or “junkies.” He also released a new track and corresponding visual titled “Giving What It’s Supposed to Give.” The self-directed clip seemingly made two references to his Rolling Loud remarks.

At one point in the video, the rapper holds up a sign that says “AIDS.” The visual ends with a message spelled out in rainbow lettering: “Don’t Fight Hate With Hate.” It continues: “My apologies for being me the same way you want the freedom to be you.”.
