DaBaby returned to the stage for the first time since stirring controversy with his homophobic remarks.
On Sunday (Aug. 22), the embattled rapper made an appearance at Hot 97’s Summer Jam, one of the only festivals that did not remove him from the lineup following his controversial appearance at Rolling Loud last month.
He opened his set with a pre-recorded video montage during which he addressed the fallout and thanked Hot 97.
DaBaby was removed from several festival lineups including Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, and Day N Vegas in the wake of the controversy. He eventually apologized to the LGBTQ+ community for his “hurtful and triggering comments,” but the apology was later deleted.
