50 Cent Addresses DaBaby’s Homophobic Comments: ‘They Didn’t Notify Him He’s Turning Into A Superstar’

    It’s been nearly three weeks since DaBaby appeared at Rolling Loud Miami and rattled off some ill-received comments about the LGBTQ+ community. The fallout was swift; he lost endorsement deals, was kicked off major festivals such as Lollapalooza 2021 and Day N Vegas and faced heavy backlash from celebrities such as Madonna, Elton John and The Roots’ Questlove. 

    Despite two apologies (once he’s since deleted from Instagram), DaBaby’s reputation has undoubtedly taken a hit. But 50 Cent isn’t convinced his career is over, as much as cancel culture would presumably like that.

    In an interview with E!’s Nightly Pop, the rapper-turned-television executive dismissed the controversy and was confident DaBaby will bounce back, saying, “Yeah, he will. As long as he keeps his consistency with the music. Remember they canceled Chris Brown, five, six times?”

    50 Cent believes it’s DaBaby’s meteoric rise to notoriety and lack of media training that led to this entire situation.

    “He just transitioned from being in that pool that everyone’s in, as a rap artist,” he continued. “They didn’t notify him that he’s turning into a superstar. There’s nobody that tells you, ‘Now you’re being held to these standards that are mainstream standards that you can’t say things, you can’t do these different things.’ He didn’t have a publicist involved.”

    Elsewhere in the brief discussion, 50 Cent referred to DaBaby as a “very talented and special artist,” and agreed the first apology DaBaby issued just “made it worse.”

    Shortly after the backlash began, DaBaby attempted to do some damage control with, “Anybody who done ever been affected by AIDS/HIV y’all got the right to be upset. What I said was insensitive even though I have no intentions on offending anybody. So my apologies. But the LGBT community … I ain’t trippin on y’all, do you. y’all business is y’all business” and promptly caught a tongue-lashing from CHIKA and countless others.

    50 Cent then brought up Madonna, Elton John and Questlove’s criticism of DaBaby and suggested their massive star power was no match for DaBaby’s still blossoming career.

    “He’s just two years into his career,” he added. “There’s no artist development, no A&R and he’s definitely had no media training.”

    1. You don’t need to be reminded not to fucup the bag by saying shit to fucup the bag. Like Chris Brown said, Do your shows and STFU.

      1. Real talk. That was my entire argument on that the whole time. Believe what you want to believe. Just keep that shit to yourself.

    2. So Eminem can make songs BLATANTLY talking bout gay ppl talking bout killing them calling them phaggets and everything and Elton John did a song with him at the grammys and he never got cancelled but the baby who never even said the word gay on that stage up outta here and Elton John on his ass.fuck outta here this racist as fuck.dababy whack as fuck to me but I’m buying his next album just to piss off these sensitive ass gays on his ass cuz he black

      1. Your dumbass comment implies that gay black people don’t exist. Also, Eminem got reemed for all that shit too; don’t act like there was a period of time when Slim Shady disappeared…

        1. Eminem never disappeared u dumbfuck phagget he never got canceled or pulled from radio like the baby.and I know black gays exist cuz clearly your phagget ass is one of them plus I live in atl.shut yo phagget ass up

      2. Stfu you stupid little charcoal baby. You cry about racism every opportunity you get but you feel like you can talk bad about gay people like it’s not the same thing. Go jerk off to BBC porn and then play in traffic

        1. Who the hell you calling a charcoal baby…that’s racist! We are proud to be black…would not want to be anything less! We are the supreme blood line. Jealousy and fear makes us a target to European bullshit. If your gay that’s your choice…yeah we know some blacks are gay..OK..but the color of one’s skin is not a choice..gays need to stop riding the black struggle to justify their lifestyle.There is a double standard in this country against black people and if you don’t see it then your a dumbass! Dababy told his opinion which is fine, but what he did not accept at the time is he can not say whatever he want anymore because all you currupted crybabies are out trolling looking for a target. I will be so glad when the Messiah returns. We are all in for some surprises, some of you are difinatly not going to like.

    3. Dababy is free to put out music, and vids and book shows. All hes being dropped from is festivals lol fuck festivals. Why do we put so much effort in anons on twitter?.. cancel what? he drops im listening.

    4. Lol, Da baby didn’t get the memo on the Alphabet Mafia? It doesn’t take a celebrity to know at this stage, just saying “I don’t rock like that” is enough to catch a “homophobe” jacket and get you canceled.

    5. Its crazy if someone says something about anything its a problem. But what about all the ppl that are straight feel..we go thru more bs then a little bit for our beliefs. How about we all be equal and everyone get off da babys ass. Smh

    6. Play the race card, it’s mostly white liberals attacking him, if you accuse them of being racist they immediately take the knee and beg for mercy

    7. Fucc those alphabet ppl mane, they be annoying asf. We cant be saying no more things before we get slapped with the phobe or ist tag….It’s becoming a disease at this point, shit be hazardous for ppls health.
