<p>Roommates, DaBaby is caught in a <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/elton-john-demi-lovato-condemn-dababys-homophobia-and-hiv-misinformation/">web of criticism</a> coming from many directions, including other artists. Industry giants like <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/madonna-posts-lengthy-response-to-dababy-following-his-recent-controversial-comments-if-youre-going-to-make-hateful-remarksknow-your-facts/">Madonna</a>, Elton John and most recently Quest Love <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CR7xfnrMK-b/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">has spoken out</a> after the rapper made misinformed and problematic comments about HIV/AIDS and the LGBTQ community. The Roots frontman critiqued DaBaby in a lengthy Instagram post calling his actions &#8220;wrong.&#8221;</p>
<p>Quest Love included a photo with the post, which named seven artists including The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, The Isley Brothers, Rihanna, Sade, Meg Thee Stallion, DaBaby, Hiatus Kaiyote and Sault. DaBaby&#8217;s name was scratched out in the post.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was hypothetically asked if I was curating an updated version of #SummerOf Soul who would be my acts,&#8221; Quest Love wrote. &#8220;I gave my dream list and now I&#8217;m updating my list because it&#8217;s 2021 &; f**k the bullshit. I&#8217;m especially not here for any savagery.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shortly after Quest Love&#8217;s post went live, DaBaby responded directly saying he doesn&#8217;t know who Quest Love is.</p>
<p>&#8220;&; do not care about loosing you as a fan my boy lol @questlove,&#8221; DaBaby wrote in an Instagram Story post. &#8220;You or any other n****s who wanna play follow the leader.&#8221;</p>

<p>He continued to let off his thoughts in more Story posts saying &#8220;these n****s really think they gone influence people to stop fucking with the influence.&#8221; Seemingly not backing down from his stance and comments, DaBaby said &#8220;I got da influence and the nuts n***a.&#8221;</p>

<p>He ended his response by saying people are &#8220;tagging along&#8221; in critiquing him, but that he can&#8217;t be bullied. He also accused critics of &#8220;tryna gain new fans&#8221; from his &#8220;situation&#8221; cause their work isn&#8217;t performing &#8212; in his words &#8220;quiet.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;N****s better hit the studio or sum,&#8221; DaBaby wrote.</p>
<p>Quest Love has not responded to DaBaby&#8217;s replies, instead choosing to post the song &#8220;Le Sweat&#8221; by Kanye West and a poster to an upcoming streaming dance party scheduled for Friday night.</p>
<p>DaBaby followed up his clap back by posting a snippet of his latest music video for the track &#8220;Giving What It&#8217;s Supposed To Give.&#8221; The video, which features graphic sexual clips and controversial lyrics, has been streamed on YouTube more than 2.4 million times since dropping on July 28.</p>
<p>DaBaby landed in hot water almost a week ago during his set at Rolling Loud in Miami. Though he has <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CR2O3Nyn3Dr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">issued an apology</a> to both the LGBTQ community and people affected by HIV/AIDS, DaBaby continues to face a slew of online criticism.</p>

<p>He also fired at brands and companies that &#8220;profit off of Black rappers influence on culture, without understanding it or having the patience to deal with what comes with the positions [rappers] play in our culture.&#8221; Shortly after, boohooMan <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/boohooman-announces-they-will-no-longer-be-working-with-dababy-amid-backlash-for-controversial-rolling-loud-statements/">announced they&#8217;d no longer be working with DaBaby,</a> just about one month after collaborating on an exclusive fashion line.</p>
<p>DaBaby let a few additional thoughts off on Thursday night, taking his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CR8DI2tLEn1/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">writings to Twitter</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was tryna be a rapper for like one more year God ready for me to be a ICON now,&#8221; he tweeted. &#8220;This what I asked for I proudly accept the challenge. Let&#8217;s get it. Y&#8217;all sit back I&#8217;m cut like that dat.&#8221;</p>
