Rapper and ironic meme star DaBaby has issued an apology after homophobic remarks at a recent Miami concert got him dropped from several major upcoming music festivals such as Lollapalooza and Governor's Ball.

The tone of the apology was much different than DaBaby's offending remarks. Last week at Rolling Loud Festival, DaBaby told the crowd, "If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that’ll make you die in two, three weeks, put your cellphone light up… Fellas, if you ain’t suck a nigga dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone light up. Keep it fucking real." Later on Instagram, he posted, "My gay fans, they take care of themselves. They ain’t got no nasty gay niggas, see what I’m saying? They ain’t no junkies on the street."

On Tuesday of last week, he attempted some damage control on Twitter, writing, "Anybody who done ever been effected by AIDS/HIV y’all got the right to be upset, what I said was insensitive even though I have no intentions on offending anybody. So my apologies 🙏🏾But the LGBT community… I ain’t trippin on y’all, do you. y’all business is y’all business."

That evidently wasn't enough to satisfy bookers of the festival scene. In the following week, DaBaby was dropped from Lollapalooza, Governor's Ball and Day N Vegas. This likely prompted the professional tone of today's apology, though critics online sensed that the statement was not in the rapper's words and also took issue with the fact he seemed to be invoking cancel culture for the swift repercussions he faced for his rant.

There ain’t no apology DaBaby’s PR team can write that can save him now.

He stood on that stage and said what he said with his chest. He’s not sorry, he’s just worried about losing more of DaBookings.

DaBaby apology is hilarious because not only do we know he’s only doing it because he’s losing money it also dispels all that “IDGAF” posturing he’s been doing so he looks like trash and a coward
