“If you didn’t show up today with HIV/AIDS, any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that will make you die in 2 [or] 3 weeks put a cellphone light in the air.”

After a video of his comments was shared online many people took to Twitter to call the ‘Bop’ rapper out.
This isn’t the only time that DaBaby was seemingly dragged by fans online for his actions at this year’s Rolling Loud event. As previously reported, some fans bashed him for bringing Tory Lanez out to perform with him right after Megan Thee Stallion wrapped up her own performance.

Megan Thee Stallion has been pretty vocal about her issues with former friend Tory Lanez after he allegedly shot her in the foot last summer.
Megan Thee Stallion and DaBaby’s own friendship recently came to an end after Megan called DaBaby out for jumping on the Tory Lanez’ track ‘SKAT’ last month.
