DaBaby Pretends Not to Know Questlove After Drummer Slams His Homophobic Comments - Rolling Stone

DaBaby performs with Questlove — a musician he will later say he does not know — in 2019.

DaBaby told Questlove he doesn’t know who he is in response to the Roots’ drummer’s criticism of the rapper’s homophobic comments and insensitive remarks about people with HIV/AIDS at Rolling Loud, and his subsequent doubling down.

On Wednesday night, July 28th, Questlove condemned DaBaby on Instagram, sharing the lineup he said he would’ve curated if asked to helm a contemporary version of the festival he chronicles in his new documentary Summer of Soul.

As Questlove suspected in his own comment, DaBaby claimed to not know who Quest was in his own response on Instagram Stories Thursday, July 29th (while it was two years ago, and a lot has happened, it is notable that the Roots did back DaBaby up when he performed on The Tonight Show in October 2019)

Sharing Questlove’s post, DaBaby wrote (via XXL), “I ain’t even tryna be funny when I say… I do not know who dis n—a is dawg & do not care about loosing [sic] you as a fan my boy lol… This superstar you was a fan of is stand up n—a, Yeen never seen one of these huh?”
