Questlove Cancels DaBaby, Removes Him From Summer Playlist

Questlove Removes DaBaby From His Hypothetical Dream “Summer Of Soul” Concert

DaBaby has been receiving backlash from all angles following his homophobic and HIV rants during his performance at the Rolling Loud festival. He has however made it clear that his views cannot be argued as he has the freedom to believe and speak on his opinions.

The Roots icon Questlove has now reacted to DaBaby’s remarks in a social media post. “I was hypothetically asked if I was curating an updated version of #SummerOfSoul who would be my acts?” he wrote in a post.

The musician listed his group, Rihanna, A Tribe Called Quest, Megan Thee Stallion, Sade, The Isley Brothers, Haitus Kaiyote, Sault, and DaBaby. However, this time around, he scratched the rapper’s name out. “I gave my dream list.”

“And now I’m updating my list ——because it’s 2021 & f*ck the bullsh*t,” he added. “I’m especially not here for any savagery (if you’re lost: Google the idiocy of the crossed out). I’m not trine be all performative smurf & create a social flogging or start some click bait headlines.

That’s missing the point. But right is right & his actions are wrong. Somebody Gotta say it:Homophobia/Transphobia/Xenophobia/Misogyny/Racism this should go w/o saying is morally wrong.”

“Barely said anything about Rih in ‘06 (lemme mind my business), looked the other way w ol bol & that MaGa Hat (he going thru thangs let him work it out)——don’t even get me started on half of my rap heroes damn near becoming f*x news talking points w their russian bot reposts & misinformation on all things facts.”
