He’s been arrested several times in recent years, and last summer blasted the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, calling it “unlawful.” Kirk has used his platform often to speak on the issue of police brutality, including during his performance of “Rockstar” at the 63rd Grammys in March.īaby spoke about the controversies that have followed him on his 2020 album, the cheekily-titled Blame It On Baby: “I don't get into politics, I just be poppin' shit/Obviously hot as a motherfuckin' fire/Only answer to God, I’m already convicted/If I’m havin’ you as my witness,” he raps on the opener “Can’t Stop.” In 2020, he struck a female fan at a concert, something he later apologized for. Since his rapid ascent to A-list status in 2019, DaBaby has consistently found himself amidst controversy. So my apologies,” he wrote, though not without a cryptic follow-up. “Anybody who done ever been effected by AIDS/HIV y’all got the right to be upset, what I said was insensitive even though I have no intentions on offending anybody. Fellas, if you ain’t suck a n-gga dick in the parking lot, put your cell phone lights in the air. “Ladies, if your pussy smells like water, put a cell phone light in the air. “If you didn't show up today with HIV/AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that'll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cell phone light in the air,” he said.
During the performance, the Charlotte rapper born Jonathan Kirk not only brought controversial artist Tory Lanez on stage, but made some truly bizarre and offensive comments about queer people, as well as those living with HIV and AIDS.
