I’m mainly just sad. The AIDS epidemic was the darkest moment of modern queer history and after all this time, there are still people that just don’t get it and don’t care. The homophobia and the stigmatization of people with diseases like HIV is old.
It just hits home why artists like Lil Nas X are so important.

That is of course not the first time that DaBaby has been subject to controversy, Now however I have to say something because this just shows who he really is as a person and I was absolutely shocked to hear these comments coming out of his mouth. Unfortunately I expect Radio to still continue to play his songs because nothing has stopped them from playing other controversial Musicians like Chris Brown and now Morgan Wallen, I can't help but feel disappointed that there are Famous People like him that frankly don't care about respecting other People's Sexual orientation.

Swapped out the remix with the original on all of my playlists. Besides that, I’m not surprised by DaBaby’s comments but I am very disappointed that this is still happening in 2021.
On the bright side, both Dua Lipa and Lil Nas X are thriving in the music industry and both are going to be staying for a long time.

Didn’t she just hop on a cash grab collab with Pop Smoke, who also wasn’t the most tolerant guy towards LGBTQ people?

Has Dababy even addressed this mess? I'm curious because it's either gonna be a fake apology or he's gonna double down on his ignorant views and some sort of weird sector of the internet is gonna love him for it.

It was not not a double down and also not not a fake apology. He somehow managed to do both?

I'm trying to figure out what he means in the second half of this.. but then at the same time, I have never or will never care for DaBaby so. I knew he was trash when this happened

well, this is going viral again, so... if this mashup going viral again causes the (official) song itself to also go viral again, I support a remix just for the messiness. Otherwise though, as amazing as this song is I am really ready to move on, please! Stream Love Again for clearer skin, everyone!

I'd be here for another remix with Meghan propelling this to #1 and then the song lasting long enough to enter the top 40 all time chart on the Hot 100.

DaBaby is trash for that comment and he wasn't even a worthy addition on this song in the 1st place. I'll stay using the original.

Why is he trying to deflect from his homophobic comments with BLM, racism and gun violence tweets? absolute trash

Why is he trying to deflect from his comments with BLM and "racism" tweets? absolute trash He's trying to paint himself as a victim as if being homophobic is excusable just because he's a member of another marginalized minority. It's as gross as his initial comments. Absolute trash indeed. This should be a career-ending incident, but he'll probably be fine as some others have pointed out up-thread. Sad.

I've been streaming the solo version this entire time, you can't trust anyone who does a song with Camila Cabello

Yeah forget my earlier comments, f**k this. Levitating is by far his biggest hit and the fact that he's gonna disrespect her like that is hilarious, he loves burning bridges with everyone in the industry. I like how Meghan and Dua has spoken out against his ass but I wish some of his male peers would say something, Jack Harlow especially since he just collaborated with Lil Nas X. I do find that What's Poppin' remix funny in hindsight, Jack is now 3/4 for scumbags on that tracks (Lil Wayne isn't as bad but still an asshole).

DaBaby has literally been problematic most of the time he’s been out I honestly just kinda stopped listening to him and how exactly is Dua Lipa a culture vulture? He is legit IGNORANT AF and I officially cancelled him after he retweeted that Tory Lanez tweet. A simple apology honestly probably would have sufficed but he put his foot in his mouth and made it worse. I hope radio stations switch over to the solo version of “Levitating”.
