The hits continue to come for DaBaby. Just a day after being removed from Chicago’s Lollapalooza Festival for his perceived homophobic comments at Rolling Loud Miami on July 25, Governors Ball officials announced on Monday (August 2) the Charlotte-bred rapper has been dropped by the festival and won’t be performing in September.
“Founders Entertainment does not and will not tolerate hate or discrimination of any kind,” Governors Ball wrote to Twitter. “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 for good.”
The festival will also be making an addition to the lineup to replace DaBaby’s canceled set with an artist to be named at a later date.
Governors Ball is set to take place at Citi Field in Queens during the weekend of September 24 with performances from rap artists such as A$AP Rocky, Post Malone, 21 Savage, Megan Thee Stallion, Young Thug, Freddie Gibbs, Cordae and more.

Lollapalooza put out a similar statement to Governors Ball’s when it came to dropping DaBaby from their lineup over the weekend.
The “Suge” rapper previously apologized for his statements, but fellow artists such as “Levitating” collaborator Dua Lipa, Madonna, Questlove and Lil Nas X have condemned DaBaby for his homophobic rant targeting the HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ+ communities.
Here is an idea? Rappers create your own festival and keep the violence to a minimum and you won’t have to be fearful of being censored When calling the alphabet folks what they really are
Your comment goes to show how ignorant you are. Are these rappers the only one’s that are going to be in attendance at their own festivals or is it the very people that your idiotic hero insulted? The artists are nothing without fans and some of the fans belong to the alphabet gang… The sooner narrow minded people like you and DaBaby get that in your thick skulls, the better and easier life will be.
Or just stop being a sensitive pussy Gen Z fuck
What he said actually made sense, you sound like a dumbass.
well new york city scene always had a thing for homosexuality. i shouldn’t need to explain.
Nah you good with a name like that bro you probably all in them clubs at night
Most def.. theres a lot of homophobes to go around right ?
Last rapper who had their hand in a festival was Ja-Rule, and we saw how that turned out. Face it, idiot; artists aren’t as paid as they present themselves to be. There’s a reason it hasn’t been done, and this is why they can’t afford to alienate a group of fans…
So much lost income behind trying to be hard for a crowd of people who more than likely downloaded his album for free. Get your fuk’n priorities in order…
Hahahahahahaha. Freedom of speech is real. People’s freedom of not wanting to buy your shit and demonetize you for what you said is extremely real too. Looks like he’s lost at least half a mil in these last couple of weeks in performances alone. Dude should wise up and give a genuine heartfelt apology. Explain he was in the moment and like almost every human on earth, he has been around and worked with gay people his whole life. This dummy is too ignorant to walk his comment back. SMH. He will most likely get dropped from his label and get his album shelved at this rate. You can make fun of white people all day buddy. Talk shit about the LGBTQ folk or the J’s and it’s a wrap dummy. No more Grammys. No more BET awards. No more festivals. LOL.
Oh lord the alphabet ppl on a fuckin rampage lol is the whole country gay now? Cuz it definitely seems like it but u can’t get mad because ppl don’t agree with your lifestyle fam! That’s not homophobic that’s just an opinion & this I thought was America where u can express your opinion! Or are we communist China?
Really enjoying how his downfall is playing out lol
dude just need to hit the studio hard with some local dudes (J Cole uncredited) and bang out two albums one for Labor Day one for Thanksgiving – they will say both albums are trash but that could be his only shot at true classics
Ask TLC how much artists get from record sales. Artists earn their money from endorsements and touring; something which DaBaby will not be a part of for at least a year…
so fucking what – it’s money out here on the streets
LMAOOOOO, there’s no money in record sales, idiot.
Remember when he called Jojo Siwa a bitch?
I hate it had to be this way but I’m glad they’re canceling his dumb ass he sucks…. But he still has the right to speak his mind though. I’m just tired of hearing his shitty music, so if this is what had to happen so be it
Gheys introduced HIV/aids to the world. He spoke historical facts
Stop apologizing and stand on what you say!
DaBaby’s pussy smells like water…
Why can’t this guy just perform peace fully and get da fuck outta the stage, without saying a bunch of nonsense,I thought he didn’t give a fuck,now he his losing the bags….
