1. 3 festivals drop DaBaby after homophobic remarks

DaBaby has been kicked to DaCurb. Lollapalooza dropped the rapper from its lineup just hours before he was supposed to take the stage this weekend over the homophobic and misleading comments he made late last month about HIV/AIDS. In a statement, the Chicago festival explained that it was "founded on diversity, inclusivity, respect, and love. With that in mind, DaBaby will no longer be performing at Grant Park tonight." On Monday, DaBaby was likewise dropped from two more festivals when Governors Ball in New York and Day N Vegas (in … Vegas) both expressed their intolerance of hate and discrimination. DaBaby released a new apology Monday afternoon, writing: "I want to apologize to the LBGTQ+ community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made. Again, I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS and I know education on this is important. Love to all. God bless."
