This fuels stigma and discrimination and is the opposite of what our world needs to fight the AIDS epidemic,\u201d John posted to Twitter. \u201cHomophobic and HIV mistruths have no place in our society and industry and as musicians, we must spread compassion and love for the most marginalized people in our communities. A musician\u2019s job is to bring people together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John also posted a graphic that said that \u201cHIV misinformation and homophobia have no place in the music industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John\u2019s statement was followed closely by one from Dua Lipa, who recently collaborated with DaBaby, and then by statements from other music industry luminaries.<\/p>\n<p>DaBaby also doubled down on his statements in a \u201creply\u201d video, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/news\/3397165\/dababy-dropped-2021-governors-ball-over-homophobic-rant\/\">according to The Sun<\/a>, initially apologizing and then retracting his apology.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Lollapalooza, which had known about DaBaby\u2019s comments for nearly a week, announced that he would no longer be welcome in the festival lineup and alluded to fan pressure to drop the rapper. Instead, Young Thug was moved from an earlier slot at the festival into a headliner slot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLollapalooza was founded on diversity, inclusivity, respect, and love.&nbsp;With that in mind, DaBaby will no longer be performing at Grant Park tonight,\u201d Lollapalooza organizers said in a post to social media. \u201cYoung Thug will now perform at 9:00pm on the Bud Light Seltzer Stage, and G Herbo will perform at 4:00pm on the T-Mobile Stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Governor\u2019s Ball announced their decision to drop DaBaby from their lineup on Monday, also alluding to fan pressure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFounders Entertainment does not and will not tolerate hate or discrimination of any kind,\u201d the organization said in a statement. \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlong with you, we will continue to use our platform for good,\u201d the group noted.<\/p>\n<p>Parkside Festival also announced Monday that DaBaby would not appear.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
