Twitter is mocking rapper DaBaby after several festivals dropped him from their lineup over anti-gay remarks he made during the Rolling Loud festival last month.
After multiple music festivals removed the rapper, whose real name is Jonathan Kirk, from its lineup, DaBaby issued a second apology. But his lengthy statement didn't stop Twitter from doubling down on the apology.
"dababy really lost all dabookings bc he couldn't shut daf**k up," a Twitter user wrote.

There ain’t no apology DaBaby’s PR team can write that can save him now.
He stood on that stage and said what he said with his chest. He’s not sorry, he’s just worried about losing more of DaBookings.

On Monday, the rapper wrote that "what I needed was education on these topics and guidance."
"Again, I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS and I know education on this is important. Love to all. God bless," he concluded.
Lollapalooza, Governors Ball and Day N Vegas festivals have canceled the rapper's upcoming performances and have reaffirmed their stance in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community, BuzzFeed reported.
In a tweet, the Governors Ball said it "will not tolerate hate or discrimination of any kind. We welcome and celebrate the diverse communities that make New York City the greatest city in the world."
Stay tuned for a lineup addition. pic.twitter.com/ED4rhbL9Wm

In July, during his performance at the Rolling Loud festival, DaBaby not only offended members of the LGBTQ+ community, but he also made insensitive remarks about people with HIV/AIDS, as Blavity previously reported.
“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… Fellas, if you ain’t sucking d**k in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up,” DaBaby said.
