50 Cent Says DaBaby Will Bounce Back After Being “Canceled” For Homophobic Rant: “They Tried To Cancel Chris Brown!”
50 Cent is now weighing in on all the drama surrounding DaBaby and he’s actually sticking by the rapper’s side.
As we previously reported, while performing at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami, DaBaby asked every audience member to “put your cell phone light up”, apart from those who were HIV-positive or were gay men who had sex in car parks. Following a wave of backlash, the rapper later apologized for his comments. He tweeted that his comments were “insensitive” adding he had “no intentions on offending anybody” before offering “my apologies”. “Anybody who done ever been [affected] by AIDS/HIV y’all got the right to be upset,” he said at the time. He issued another apology but still ended up being dropped from a total of 7 festivals.
Although DaBaby seems like he’s taking his L in peace, 50 Cent strongly believes that he’ll bounce back from all of this. While appearing on E!’s Nightly Pop, 50 told hosts Nina Parker, Morgan Stewart, and Hunter March that the entertainer is “only two years into his career. There’s no artist development. There’s no strong A&R in this. There’s definitely no media training.” He added that DaBaby can “bounce back” from the scandal, and reminded everyone about the time “they tried to cancel Chris Brown five or six times” for his scandal.
50 also noted that “there’s nobody that tells you, ‘Now, you’re held to these standards,’ that are mainstream standards that you can’t say things and you can’t do these different things. He didn’t have a publicist involved and this is why the response took so long. Even his apology, the first apology attempt at it, was what made it worse. You know what it is? When a person makes a general statement, ’cause he made a general statement on stage, he’s not directing that to any individual, but what happens is he’s still new and he’s being attacked by individuals.”
