Rapper DaBaby performed at Hot 97’s Summer Jam concert event at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and shared he never meant to “offend anybody” with his homophobic rant on stage early last month.
Rapper DaBaby is addressing his homophobic rant as he got back on stage. While several festivals dropped the rapper, Hot 97 allowed him a chance to get back on stage. Which he seems to appreciate.
The 29-year-old rapper got on stage again, and he had a lot to say. During his opening, DaBaby started with a video montage with a voice-over. In the video, the rapper thanked Hot 97’s for giving him a chance and “sticking their neck out on the line” for him.
He added that they “allowed me to share my gift, share my blessing with y’all out here live on this stage amongst all the chaos and all the backlash.”
“So hats off to y’all for that. They accepted my sincerity and all my apologies when I said I never, ever meant to offend anybody or say anything to make anybody feel any type of way live on that stage a few weeks ago.”
“And Hot 97 was also willing to stick they neck out on the line, willing to go against all odds with everything going on out here in the world — they still allowed me to come right here on this stage and utilize their platform. They helped the world move forward and become a better place and not dismiss people based off mistakes made like we ain’t human.”
