Homophobia has been an omnipresent problem in Hip Hop since the genre’s early days. DaBaby’s remarks about HIV, AIDS and gay people during his Rolling Loud Miami performance on July 25 are just the latest example.
Ask Megan Thee Stallion, and she’ll say it’s time for Hip Hop to address its homophobia problem. In a new interview with PEOPLE, Tina Snow threw her support behind the LGBTQ+ community and talked about the importance of representation, compassion and acceptance in rap.
She didn’t mention DaBaby by name in the conversation, but her comments were likely in response to the controversy surrounding the North Carolina rapper, who continues to face backlash for his seemingly homophobic comments.
“It is about time,” Megan said. “Representation is important, and it is really crucial for us all to have compassion and acceptance of every human.”
Despite cultivating a successful collaborative partnership on songs such as “Cash Shit,” “Cry Baby” and “Nasty,” Megan Thee Stallion and DaBaby’s relationship appears to have soured in recent months due to his affiliation with Tory Lanez, who was accused of shooting Megan in both feet during an altercation in July 2020.
In June, Megan and DaBaby were involved in a heated Twitter exchange following DaBaby’s appearance in Tory’s “SKAT” video. Then, DaBaby brought out the Canadian rapper as a surprise guest during his Rolling Loud Miami performance in July, which left Megan and her team “very upset,” according to TMZ.
Tory Lanez was charged with felony aggravated assault last October for allegedly shooting Megan. He was also hit with a restraining order, which forbids him from coming within 100 yards of the Houston rapper.

On a lighter note, Megan Thee Stallion also touched on her upcoming album in her interview with PEOPLE. “I am keeping my next project pretty quiet but it will be a complete shock and complete surprise,” she teased. “I am just creating things that feel good to me right now.”
The as-yet-untitled project will serve as the follow-up to her 2020 debut LP Good News — although it’s unlikely there’ll be a DaBaby feature this time around.
Fxxk all that g** sh!t she talking about. Aint no room for that in hiphop unless it’s women, foh
Of course she gonna say that…hip hop ain’t no more gay or anti gay than any other music type…FOH with this bullshit narrative.
The comment underneath yours suggests otherwise lol
Lol, timing
Can we just take cancel culture, twitter, and everone involved with the movement and shoot them into space on the next Bezos penis rocket ? Hip hop is about freedom of expression. I got no problem with what Dababy said at rollin loud. I also got no problem with Lil Nas X and his videos. Fuck sensitivity grow some balls. Also can you please release the foot x-rays already ?
Yooo no funny shit lmaooo shit is super fuckin weird !!!!
These hoemows want to force their crap on the world.
This broad a dyke what the hell she mean. I hate wack rappers .
nobody gives a fuck if your gay, just keep that nasty shit to yourself we don’t care if you born a guy but want to be a women neither that ahit needs to be hidden and you should not be granted any special privileges… changing who you were from birth is un natural and against God’s word
i swear marcus be using that whole tory wave until she or he is dead. but now she has dababy to use instead of tory. this bitch is nothing but a problem
When she said hiphop needs representation… acceptance sure, but no art form or culture requires representation. That’s the whole point of a culture, is to express something about people, not to exist as a way for anyone to find belonging. Every culture isn’t for everyone, and it’s not the cultures job to make people feel accepted. People trying to replace what makes something unique with fairness will kill art. Doesn’t make what dababy said cool or accurate, but you can denounce hate with out radical moves very easily, but people are taking advantage of the situation to boost their social currency at the expense of the culture.
Yoooooooooo !!!!! Why do people care about who is kool with who!!!! Be kool with yourself !!! Be true to yourself!!! All these industry artists wanna impress other artists so bad do what you do for you !
Im an artist myself! I express myself freely and whoever is offended , got nothing to do with me, i am there for the makin of my work, if im performing im in control of my own words and actions only, so the reactions i get are all random/etc, but being cancelled for having an opinion that someone else thinks is “right” is an illness. Who determines right or wrong? Do we have to agree sith everything we were told is right or wrong? Look bottom
Line is DaBaby has every right to bug out, same way Lil Nas X has every right to be sus, everybody doin them, we shudnt bash anybody, just give ur opinion and keep it pushin!
It’s Not About Representation… Before ANY IF THESE HOMOSEXUAL Artist Started Throwing Homosexuality At Everyone IN THE WORLD, There We’re PLENTY OF HOMOSEXUAL ARTISTS IN THE MISIC INDUSTRY… I Mean, Queen Latifah Is Lesbian, But She Don’t Have A Bunch Of Females Making Out In Her Videos. What About MC LYTE ?? Or What About Luther Vandross ?? Hell, Frank Ocean Is Gay And Makes Great Music W/O Pushing The “Gay Agenda” In Everybody Face… EVERYBODY KNEW Elton John Was Gay, But Nobody Saw A Bunch Of Naked Dudes In His Videos. I Feel Like These Artists Are Tryin To Make The Decision For The New Generation… Y’all Fighting So Hard To Be Heard, But Not Even Giving This Kids A Chance To Male Decisions For Themselves, Cuz Y’all Push It To The Point Where, “If You’re Not Homosexual Or Lesbian, You Won’t Be Accepted… I Have Nothing Against Homosexuals Or Lesbians, My In Laws Are 99% Female And My Grandmother In Law Is Lesbian. My Closest Cousin Was Gay. It’s The People Putting It Out, Who- In My Honest Opinion, Are Forcing The Lifestyle. But Even So, DaBaby Was And Is Wrong. Just Cuz You Gay Or Lesbian Don’t Mean You Got HIV OR SUCCIN’ Wild Dicc In The Parking Lot… He Deserve EVERY Consequence That Comes Along Wit His Actions… That Simple…
Him expressing himself is the only reason you even came with your story expressing your situation. That’s what hip hop is about, not cancelling. Say he’s wrong all you want but he started the convo
It’s hoe ass outlets with bitch ass publicist praising hoe shit like Hoe Marchs with gays!! And thot girl summer for girls and gays.. try to get everyone thinking yal have actual use for the world
Meg is a tool. I get Da Baby music is lazy and he can do better. But Da Baby said he meant nothing about it and it should be taken as that. This media lynching is out of pocket. Especially when it’s coming from people who don’t give a f*ck about Da Baby or Hip hop for that matter. Also, Hip Hop has never been anti-gay. It spans from a history of the machine feminizing black men. Lil Nas X fifteen minutes was up THEN he comes out gay and now his wack ass music is in rotation and he can promote whatever he wants. That’s why hip hop put a wall up because of sh*t like that.
