50 Cent is confident the world will forget DaBaby‘s homophobic rant in Miami, and welcome him back with open arms.
DaBaby, real name Jonathan Kirk, was “canceled” after uttering anti-HIV and anti-LGBT+ comments during his set at Rolling Loud music festival last month.
The 29-year-old was dropped by a plethora of summer music festivals including Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, Parklife, Day N Vegas, ACL Fest, iHeartRadio Music Festival, and Can’t Wait Live concert, among others.

The pint-sized rapper further angered LGBT+ groups by deleting his publicist’s apology to the LGBT+ community from his Instagram page.
But rapper 50 Cent doesn’t believe DaBaby’s homophobic rant is enough to cancel his rap career.
In an interview with E!’s Nightly Pop, Fiddy said DaBaby just doesn’t realize he’s a rap superstar who should watch what he says.
The 46-year-old rap veteran said DaBaby could benefit from media training.
“He just transitioned from being in that pool that everyone’s in, as a rap artist. They didn’t notify him that he’s turning into a superstar. There’s nobody that tells you, ‘now you’re being held to these standards that are mainstream standards that you can’t say things, you can’t do these different things.’
“He’s just two years into his career, there’s no artist development, no A&R… and he’s definitely had no media training.”
