Dua Lipa Condemns DaBaby's Homophobic Remarks: 'I'm Surprised And Horrified'

Dua Lipa reiterated her support for the LGBTQ community this week in response to sexist and homophobic comments made by rapper DaBaby, a recent collaborator.

In a strongly worded note posted to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, the pop star said she was surprised and horrified by DaBabys comments, which were captured for posterity in a TMZ video .

I really dont recognize this as the person I worked with, she added. I know my fans know where my heart lies and that I stand 100% with the LGTBQ community. We need to come together to fight the stigma and ignorance around HIV/AIDS.

Dua Lipa addresses homophobic comments made by DaBaby at Rolling Loud.

DaBaby appears on a remix of Levitating, the third single from Lipas Grammy-winning 2020 album, Future Nostalgia . The track is currently No. 3 on Billboards Hot 100 chart , which ranks the 100 most popular songs in the U.S.

Some fans have urged Lipa to replace DaBabys appearance on Levitating with another artist, or for radio stations to abandon his version in favor of the Blessed Madonna remix , which features Madonna and Missy Elliott.

The fallout continued Wednesday when mens fashion company boohooMAN announced it would end its partnership with DaBaby over the comments.

The controversy began Sunday night when DaBaby, whose real name is Jonathan Lyndale Kirk, made derogatory remarks about women, gay men and those living with HIV/AIDS during his performance at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami.

In TMZs footage , the rapper urges fans to put their phones up if you didnt show up today with HIV/AIDS, or other STDs thatll make you die in two to three weeks.

Ladies, if your pussy smell like water, put your cell phone lighter up, he added. Fellas, if you aint sucking n*gga dick in the parking lot, put your cell phone lighter up.
