DaBaby Issues Apology After Brands and Sponsor Drop Him and Artists Condemn Him [DETAILS]

DaBaby is still getting a lot of flak after airing ignorant comments about people with HIV/AIDS.

The 29-year-old rapper is trying to do some damage control by trying to backtrack off his homophobic remarks during the Rolling Loud in Miami over the weekend.

During his live performance, the "ROCKSTAR" artist said, "If you didn't show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that'll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up."

However, he went on with his rant and continued to offend others, saying, "If you ain't sucking d-k in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up."

The Ohio native quickly received a ton of heat for spreading misinformation about people living with HIV/AIDS.

Right now, medicine allows most people with the condition to live an average life expectancy.

Immediately, people attack DaBaby saying his homophobic comments can influence the next generation who listen to him and his music and set society decades back once again to understand the illness.

After his performance, the "BOP" hitmaker took to Instagram Live and told his followers that even if his fans were gay, they don't have "f-----g AIDS" because "they take care of themselves."

On Tuesday, DaBaby also took to Twitter to offer an apology for his comments but in a begrudging-sounding manner.

"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."

Then the situation spiraled from there - DaBaby's response caused even more uproar that other musicians spoke out and condemned the rapper.

His collaborator for the song "Levitating," Dua Lipa, was forced to address the situation after fans demanded she removes him from the hit song.

She wrote on her Instagram Story, "I'm surprised and horrified at DaBaby's comments. I really don't recognize this as the person I worked with."

The "IDGAF" singer went on to say, "I know my fans know where my heart lies and that I stand 100% with the LGBTQ community. We need to come together to fight the stigma and ignorance around HIV/AIDS."

Hours later, Boohoo, who worked with DaBaby for a partnership, also released a statement speaking out against him and condemned him for using homophobic language.

They said that they are currently reviewing their deal with them.
