DaBaby has recently addressed the criticisms he received following his controversial homophobic rant but this time did it in the music video of his new song "Giving What It's Supposed To Be."
Over the weekend, the 29-year-old rapper sparked global outrage after his violent comments about HIV/AIDS and gay people at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami.
During his set, the "ROCKSTAR" hitmaker said, "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, then put your cellphone light up."
He went on to say, "Fellas, if you ain't sucking d--k in the parking lot put your cellphone light up. Keep it real."
DaBaby has since been under fire for spreading misinformation about HIV/AIDS alongside stigmatizing the illness.
But despite the backlash not only from celebrities and charities, but he also seemed to double down on his statements in his newest music video, which dropped on Wednesday.
DaBaby's Controversial Music Video
The "BOP" rapper held up a black and white sign with the word AIDS written on it in the video.
He rapped, "B----, we like AIDS."
"I'm on your a--."
"We on your a--."
"B---- we won't go away."
The video ended with a message spelled out in rainbow lettering, "Don't Fight Hate with Hate."
It further added, "My apologies for being me the same way you want the freedom to be you."
DaBaby, whose real name is Jonathan Lyndale Kirk, recently talked about the music video and once again address his controversial rant in a lengthy Instagram post.
The Ohio native insisted that what he was trying to do at the festival was to entertain, and "everyone" just suddenly decided to "tag along with a trending topic" by putting him under fire.
