DaBaby has faced backlash following homophobic remarks he made during his Rolling Loud Miami set, and it appears the rapper has been dropped from the Parklife Festival lineup.

While he was sorry for making “insensitive” comments about HIV and AIDS, he didn’t exactly regret what he said. A music video he shared following the controversy included the message, “Don’t fight hate with hate. My apologies for being me the same way you want the freedom to be .
