Is DaBaby Quitting HipHop? Canceled Rapper Jokes About Becoming R&B Singer

DaBaby has joked he is going to quit HipHop and become an R&B singer instead amid the continued fallout of his homophobia scandal.

The "Masterpiece" performer sparked outrage when he made derogatory remarks about gay people and people with HIV during his performance at the Rolling Loud Miami music festival on July 25.

He said in part: "If you didn't show up today with HIV, AIDS, any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that'll make you die in two or three weeks, put your cellphone light in the air."

The incident sparked a massive backlash against the rapper who was subsequently dropped from several summer festival lineups and condemned by a number of high-profile celebrities like Elton John and Madonna.

Despite posting an apology, DaBaby received further backlash when he deleted his lengthy Instagram post where he said he wanted to "apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made."

Now, the 29-year-old has joked about the situation on Instagram sharing a post with his young daughter.

"They done canceled yo daddy twin," he wrote in his caption.

He also suggested that he may have to change careers and become an R&B singer. "I'm switching to R&B. F*** a rap," he said singing a rendition of J. Cole and Miguel's "Power Trip."

Last week, 50 Cent defended DaBaby and likened his cancelation to Chris Brown's career.

"He is a really talented, special artist, right?" the "In Da Club" rapper said to The Neighborhood Talk. "And he just transitioned from being in that pool that everyone's in as a Rap artist. Like, they didn't notify him that he's turning into a superstar."

"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," 50 Cent continued.

"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."

He added: "He's 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 said he feels DaBaby will "bounce back" and added: "Remember they tried to cancel Chris Brown five or six times."
