T.I. Says People Are 'Bullying' DaBaby After Homophobic Comments: 'That's Not Equality'
T.I. is speaking out again following DaBaby’s hurtful comments at Rolling Loud Miami over the weekend.
“Everyone [is] up in arms and upset about what DaBaby said,” T.I. said in an Instagram Live video that was later posted to YouTube. “I understand people saying that they feel that it’s insensitive. I think you guys have to understand that onstage, that’s not the place that rappers go to be sensitive and soothe everybody’s feelings. It’s a place to go to have a good time.”
He went on, “Why do words cause such a visceral reaction that will lead to someone trying to attack, villainize, demonize, crucify [and] condemn? That sh– is like, now you bullying. We all stood up on behalf of gays and lesbians and people in the gay community because we thought it was some bullsh– for y’all to have to be bullied. … But I don’t think any of us did that to feel like you would now have the authority to come and bully us.”
He later added, “You don’t get to condemn people just because they think differently than you. That’s not equality. That’s not justice and that’s not hip-hop, just being honest.”

So the real victim, you see, is NOT the the gay community or those with HIV and/or AIDS, no, no, it is this dumb-ass saying homophobic and some serious sexist shit, then claiming those coming back at him are the "real" bullies. 
DaBaby drops new song with AIDS insults & tells LGBTQ people to stop hating him
Rapper DaBaby released a music video for a song that uses AIDS as an insult just days after he apologized for making similar comments at a live show this past weekend.
“Bitch, we like AIDS, I’m on your ass, we on your ass, bitch, we won’t go ‘way,” he raps in his new song “Giving What It’s Supposed to Give.”
In the accompanying video, he holds up a sign that says “AIDS” as two men push him around. He puts down the sign, pulls out two pistols, and shoots both of the men.
The only reference to his comments from this weekend is a message tacked on at the end of the video that says “DONT FIGHT HATE WITH HATE” in rainbow colors.
“My apologies for being me the same way you want the freedom to be you,” text on the screen says.

Rapper goes on anti-gay rant while performing at potential super-spreader Florida music festival
Grammy-nominated rapper DaBaby is facing criticism for his set at the Rolling Loud Miami festival, which was highlighted by a rant condemning people “with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks.”
The random speech came right after DaBaby had a shoe flung at him from the audience. It was right before he welcomed his collaborator Tory Lanez to the stage, which has earned both criticism due to allegations that Lanez had shot another rapper, Megan thee Stallion, in the foot. DaBaby’s comments and relationship with Lanez have earned him ire since.
In an apparent attempt to hype up the crowd between songs, DaBaby told the audience, “If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up.”
He said to the audience, “Ladies, if your pussy smell like water, put your cellphone lighter up.” Then, he continued, “Fellas, if you ain’t sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”

But he is the victim?!
Seems he chose the correct name for himself!
HOMOPHOBIA is REAL! HOMOPHOBIA KILLS! HETEROSEXISM IS REAL! SYSTEMIC HOMOPHOBIA EXISTS!

Sorry.
You can post it wherever you like. I don't have to agree with you.
Things sink like boulders in GD. I'm quite sure you know that. At the very least a cross post to LBGT would give some additional exposure and make it easier to locate for those interested in the topic.
Geeeze.
And thanks to this exchange between you and others, you have helped make sure this doesn't sink like a boulder. Awesome!
Does the poster think BLM matters should be relegated to the AA group? Matters about violence against women restricted to the women’s groups?
Hell, I’ve seen posts about berry picking in GD, don’t remember any objections about it.
Thanks for the elucidation, Withywindle. I'll take it under advisement. I still don't understand why someone, anyone would be opposed to a cross post to the LGBT group.
When you don't like the message, kill the messenger.
he sounds like a fucking moron
