A remix of Kanye West’s song “Nah Nah Nah” featuring DaBaby and 2 Chainz was quietly pulled from music streaming services including Apple Music, Spotify, TIDAL, YouTube Music and Pandora over the weekend. According to Entertainment Weekly, a rep for Kanye wasn’t immediately available for comment, but it doesn’t appear to be a coincidence the song was removed following Da Baby’s Rolling Loud Miami controversy.
At one point during DaBaby’s set, he made several remarks perceived to be homophobic and faced a litany of criticism as a result. As DaBaby was kicked off festivals such as Lollapalooza 2021, the Governor’s Ball and Day N Vegas, he was also dropped from endorsement deals and scolded by celebrities such as Madonna, Elton John, Questlove and his “Levitating” collaborator Dua Lipa.
DaBaby attempted to apologize — twice — but both seemed to fall on deaf ears. On Sunday (August 8), several savvy social media users noticed he’d pulled down his most recent apology from Instagram, leading many to conclude he was being insincere all along.
It originally read in part, “Social media moves so fast that people want to demolish you before you even have the opportunity to grow, educate and learn from your mistakes.
“As a man who has had to make his own way from very difficult circumstances, having people I know publicly working against me – knowing that what I needed was education on these topics and guidance – has been challenging.”
Kanye West released the “Nah Nah Nah” remix in October 2020. DaBaby opened the track with, “Let me get ’em Ye/They gon’ hate on a young n-gga anyway/They only call me when they havin’ bills to pay (Go)/Ain’t nobody ask me how I feel today I think about it and get in my feelings.”
DaBaby Deletes His Instagram Apology For Homophobic Rant
Ye revealed the collaboration with DaBaby was in the works in a Twitter post that included a screenshot of their text exchange about the song. Kanye began by thanking DaBaby for “everything” to which he replied, “Nah Thank You! Been Inspired! Still Inspired!”
But things might’ve changed since then. Most recently, Ye produced “Industry Baby” by openly gay rapper Lil Nas X and and still putting the final touches on his tenth studio album, Donda.
Strange world. They’re following the example of the desert people of aggressively going after anyone who defames them.
Bro, nobody who is a business man is going to throw money away by alienating a whole group of people who have money to spend. Rule one has always been keep politics and religion out of business. DaBaby is simply horrible for business.
Sorry I didn’t mean that. I’m paid to help normalize censorship
Censorship has been normalized in civilized society for thousands of years. Maybe you’re into pedophilia for example. Most people aren’t. Dummy.
You’re right brother. Well said .
Let me guess; you’ve never had a girlfriend either, and I’m not talking that online girlfriend shit, I’m talking someone who you’ve spent time with in the flesh…
DaBaby pulled a Michael Richards and is getting the exact same treatment. #Awesome
We are one step closer to communism. Great job Biden and Harris!
Bitch, define communism.

Exactly, stop using words you don’t know the meaning of, idiot.
Ye look like Conway!!!!
Yeah, it would be the opposite. He’s older, has been around longer and is far more successful. SMH
Well, YE smart, if he kept DaBaby on the album, it could cost potential endorsements on Kanye, including his billion dollar deals with Gap n Adidas, dababy is azzed out, they now will only deal with lil baby
Hold up, wait a minute, something ain’t right? So ‘Ye not only didn’t drop but now he’s taking music back that already dropped?
Yes, nobody wants to be associated with someone who is bad for business.
he be hating on the homos.
Shut up, bot.
