The 29-year-old was performing in Miami at the Rolling Loud music festival, when he launched into an anti-gay rant. “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 told the adoring crowd, Radar reported.

“Lordt...when DaBaby decided he was gonna let the world know he's a human garbage heap, he fully committed to that sh*t,” another user wrote, while a third commented: “So now that we know DaBaby is explicitly homophobic; let’s stop going back and forth about his stance on anything else and cut the ni**a off.”

DaBaby also posted a clip via his Instagram Story, claiming that the internet had “twisted up” his words. “All my fans at the show, the gay ones and the straight ones, we turned the fu*k up,” he said on Monday. He also alleged that his live shows will “never translate correctly” to those watching at home.

He went on to say that his hateful words weren’t directed at his gay fans because they “don’t got AIDS,” adding, they’re not “junkies” and "take care" of themselves.
