Madonna has become the latest celebrity to condemn the vile and homophobic actions of US rapper DaBaby. The pop icon, who has continuously advocated for LGBTQ+ rights throughout her 40+ year career, tore apart the 29-year-old’s deplorable remarks about gay and HIV positive people.
During his set at Rolling Loud Miami at Hard Rock Stadium on 25 July, DaBaby claimed that HIV positive people will “die in two to three weeks” before making derogatory comments about his gay fans “sucking d**k” in the parking lot.
His comments received intense backlash online, with his Levitating collaborator Dua Lipa telling her Instagram followers that she’s “surprised and horrified” and doesn’t “recognise this as the person” she once worked with.
