Today (August 1) on the final day of Lollapalooza 2021, the festival has announced that DaBaby will no longer perform at the event.

“Lollapalooza was founded on diversity, inclusivity, respect, and love,” the festival tweeted earlier today. “With that in mind, DaBaby will no longer be performing at Grant Park tonight. Young Thug will now perform at 9:00pm on the Bud Light Seltzer Stage, and G Herbo will perform at 4:00pm on the T-Mobile Stage.” Find the full tweet below.

We need to come together to fight the stigma and ignorance around HIV/AIDS.” Elton John also spoke on the matter, stating that the rapper was spreading “HIV mistruths.” “This fuels stigma and discrimination and is the opposite of what our world needs to fight the AIDS epidemic,” he tweeted.

At one point in the video, the rapper holds up a sign that says “AIDS.” The visual ends with a message spelled out in rainbow lettering: “Don’t Fight Hate With Hate.” It continues: “My apologies for being me the same way you want the freedom to be you.”.

Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for DaBaby and Lollapalooza for further comment.
