Is
DaBaby
turning
into
DaAdult?
DaBaby
suffered
a
$200
million
loss
after
he
was
slammed
for
making
homophobic
comments
at
the
Rolling
Loud
music
festival
in
2021
and
during
a
recent
interview
on
Shannon
Sharpe’s
Club
Shay
Shay
podcast,
the
“BOP”
rapper
revealed
that
the
viral
incident
forced
him
to
“sit
down”
and
do
some
spiritual
healing.
“You
live
and
you
learn
man,”
DaBaby
told
Sharpe,
before
revealing
that
the
insensitive
blunder
reportedly
cost
him
more
than
200
million
dollars.
“Who’s
to
say
where
I
would
be
mentally
and
spiritually
had
I
not
been
forced
to
sit
my
ass
down
and
self-reflect?”
What
did
DaBaby
say
during
his
homophobic
rant?
As
previously
reported,
in
2021,
DaBaby
caught
heat
from
fans
and
a
slew
of
celebs
when
the
rapper
made
disparaging
comments
about
members
of
the
LGBTQ+
community.
During
his
July
2021
show,
the
Grammy-nominated
rapper
shouted, “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.”
The
star,
real
name
Jonathan
Lyndale
Kirk,
embarrassingly
added, “Ladies,
if
your
p–sy
smells
like
water,
put
your
cellphone
lighter
up.
Fellas,
if
you
ain’t
s–king
d–k
in
the
parking
lot,
put
your
cellphone
lighter
up.”
Shortly
after
his
cringe-worthy
Rolling
Loud
appearance,
the
rapper
was
dropped
from
several
festival
lineups.
He
tried
to
clear
up
his
homophobic
comments
with
a
video arguing
that
his
gay
fans
were
not nasty
gay
n—s”
or
“junkies,”
but
the
post
only
landed
him
in
more
heat
with
members
of
the
LGBTQ+
community.
Looking
back
on
the
vile
moment,
DaBaby
told
Sharpe
that
he
believes
the
embarrassing
incident
was
a
“blessing
in
disguise”
for
his
career
and
self-improvement.
“Since
I’ve been
doing
way
more
writing
and
self-reflecting
and
working
on
what
I’m
working
on
—I’m
self-fulfilled
as
a
person.
I
got
such
a
good
understanding
of
who
I
am
as
a
person
and
how
my
upbringing
and
different
factors
and
elements
of
my
life
on
the
way
shaped
me
to
be
this
person.”
The
“ROCKSTAR”
hitmaker
also
shared
that
he
has
found
better
ways
to
cope
with
his
emotions
and
some
of
the
“traumatic
experiences”
he
has
endured
throughout
life.
According
to
the
patriarch,
he
wasn’t
happy
at
the
height
of
his
career.
However,
now,
he’s
in
a
better
and
“healthy”
space
after
some
much-needed
self-reflection.
“My
best
purchase
was
reinvesting
in
myself…I
wouldn’t
do
nothing
different,”
he
added.
Sure.
Despite
his
acknowledgment
of
taking
time
to
self-reflect,
in
the
years
since
the
Rolling
Out
incident,
DaBaby
still
displayed
some
problematic
behavior
in
particular
when
it
comes
to
his
actions
surrounding
Tory
Lanez
and
Megan
Thee
Stallion.

or
