After controversial remarks about his gay fans and HIV/AIDS led to him being dropped from multiple music festivals, the rapper has an offer for a private meeting to discuss facts about the disease.
DaBaby later addressed the comments and only fueled the fire by stating his gay fans “don’t have HIV/AIDS” because they’re not “nasty” or “junkies.” He was subsequently dropped from the lineups of music festivals including Lollapalooza, the Governors Ball and Day N Vegas, among others.
We heard your inaccurate and harmful comments at Rolling Loud and have read your Instagram apology. However, at a time when HIV continues to disproportionately impact Black Americans and queer and transgender people of color, a dialogue is critical. We must address the miseducation about HIV, expressed in your comments, and the impact it has on various communities.
Music artists have historically led the way to lift up understanding of HIV and accelerate LGBTQ acceptance. Several artists and platforms have spoken up against you. While we appreciate their stand, we also invite them to take action and to do their part to end HIV by supporting organizations like ours serving people who are Black, LGBTQ and/or living with HIV.
– People most vulnerable to HIV are those with limited access to transportation, housing, healthcare, and social support. We should focus on advocating for resources in our community rather than stigmatizing women and LGBTQ people. – Medications like PrEP protect people who do not have HIV from contracting it. The CDC states that PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% when taken as prescribed.
