LOS ANGELES – MARCH 14: DaBaby at THE 63rd ANNUAL GRAMMY\u00ae AWARDS, broadcast live from the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, Sunday, March 14, 2021 (8:00-11:30 PM, live ET\/5:00-8:30 PM, live PT) on the CBS Television Network and Paramount+.

After being axed from a host of festival lineups and engulfed in an industry uproar, DaBaby finally offered a lengthy apology for his homophobic remarks at his Rolling Loud set in July. Now, internet sleuths are alarmed that his apology \u2014 which seemingly evaded full accountability and pulled the beloved <\/span>“cancel culture is evil”<\/span><\/em>\u00a0card \u2014 is nowhere to be found.<\/span><\/p>\n

First reported by the digital platform\u00a0<\/span>Pop Craze<\/span><\/a>, avid followers of this spiraling DaBaby debacle were shocked to see the rapper’s flaccid olive branch mysteriously vanished from his social media accounts. And while the 29-year-old may try to point to the notorious celebrity hackers for its disappearance, many critics believe the removal is testament to his inability to face the grave consequences of his own actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Weeks of remaining obstinate against taking formal and\u00a0<\/span>full\u00a0<\/span><\/em>accountability for his egregious actions led to massive hits to his finances \u2014 as of late eight music festivals or events have canceled his appearance. The\u00a0<\/span>Rockstar<\/span><\/em>\u00a0emcee ultimately apologized to the internet. Hinging on the guise of cancel culture, he noted that social media moves \u201cso fast that people want to demolish you before you even have the opportunity to grow, educate and learn from your mistakes.\u201d He also decried those that know him (re: Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” fiasco) “working against him” instead of educating him. In conclusion to his winding soapbox of sentiments, he apologized to the ” LGBTQ+ community for the hurtful and triggering comments” and for his “misinformed comments about HIV\/AIDS.”<\/span><\/p>\n

While many doyens of the industry (i.e. Elton John) publicly condemned DaBaby’s actions, eleven advocacy organizations for HIV\/AIDS\u00a0<\/span>penned an open letter<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to invite the star “to a private, off-the-record, virtual discussion” that would educate him on the stigma rooted in his comments. Even fellow pop star\u00a0<\/span>Miley Cyrus<\/span><\/a>\u00a0extended him space for education amidst the brewing aftermath.<\/span><\/p>\n

Noting that she has dedicated most of her life to \u201cencouraging love, acceptance, and open-mindedness,\u201d the 28-year-old wrote, \u201cThe internet can fuel a lot of hate & anger and is the nucleus of cancel culture.\u201d She continued, \u201cBut I believe it can also be a place filled with education, conversation, communication & connection.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29094,"featured_media":31716,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,16],"yoast_head":"\nWhat Happened To DaBaby's Apology?
