DaBaby Dropped From Governors Ball Lineup Following Homophobic Remarks

DaBaby Dropped From Governors Ball Lineup Following Homophobic Remarks

DaBaby is still feeling the backlash from his homophobic remarks he made at Rolling Loud last week.

Collaborators like Dua Lipa have spoken out against him and he was clipped from the Lollapalooza lineup.

Governors Ball just announced that they will be dropping the KIRK rapper from their festival which kicks off on September 24 in New York City.

“Founders Entertainment does not and will not tolerate hate or discrimination of any kind,” the statement reads. “We welcome and celebrate the diverse communities that make New York CIty the greatest city in the world. Thank you to the fans who continue to speak up for what is right. Along with you, we will continue to use our platform.” 

DaBaby was quietly scrubbed from the Parklife 2021 festival lineup but a rep for the rapper claims that it’s not correlated to the controversy.

During his set the “BOP” rapper made questionable remarks in an attempt to hype the crowd up.

“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,” he said to the crowd in a clip that went viral. “Ladies, if your pussy smell like water, put your cellphone lighter up. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”  

What are your thoughts?

Ticket buyers beware – Mother Nature continues to show little chill for your festival goals. The crowd at Governors Ball was served this reminder yet once again.

As spotted on Vulture concert goers on Sunday missed out on several high profile performance due to inclement weather. The day seemed doomed from early on with the official start being delayed to 6:30 PM. As the evening progressed the event organizers got increasingly concerned about the looming thunderstorms. At 9:30 PM officials served up the bad news about the impromptu finish and alerted all attendees that they have to evacuate Randall’s Island.

Their formal statement reveals that they had no choice in the matter and that New York City officials George Bushed the button.

“Due to severe weather, Governors Ball was evacuated tonight. At this time, the island is clear of all guests. After close consultation with NYC officials and law enforcement, it was deemed necessary to cancel the event for the safety of our festival goers, artists and crew. We are as devastated as our fans by this decision, but nothing is more important than the safety of all attendees. While the festival is always rain or shine, we can’t proceed in weather as severe as tonight’s storm and lightning. Evacuation procedures were followed.”

While Nas and some choice acts were able to grace the stage, SZA and The Strokes, who were scheduled to headline, were not so lucky.

Thankfully anyone that is a Sunday ticket holder can request a refund. You can file your grievance here.
