S**t Your Faves Just Did
Questlove is adding to the laundry list of artists who have publicly criticized DaBaby for making homophobic comments.
As Blavity previously reported, DaBaby has received intense backlash for spewing homophobic rhetoric during a performance at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami.
“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 a cell phone lighter up,” DaBaby told the Rolling Loud audience. “Fellas, if you ain’t suckin’ d**k in the parking lot, put your cell phone lights up.”
The Philadelphia native took the time to address DaBaby’s remarks, which he called “f**ked up.”
“I was hypothetically asked if I was curating an updated version of #SummerOfSoul who would be my acts? I gave my dream list. And now I’m updating my list —— because it’s 2021 & fuck the bullshit,” Questlove wrote in an Instagram post. “I’m especially not here for any savagery (if you’re lost: Google the idiocy of the crossed out).”
“I’m not trine be all performative smurf & create a social flogging or start some click bait headlines. That’s missing the point. But right is right & his actions are wrong,” he continued. “Somebody Gotta say it: Homophobia/Transphobia/Xenophobia/Misogyny/Racism —— this should go w/o saying is morally wrong.”
