The 'Suge' rapper is sponsored by festival bosses on his new tour after returning to the stage for the first time following backlash over controversial homophobic remarks.

AceShowbiz - Rolling Loud festival bosses are so sure DaBaby has learned his lesson following a homophobic rant during a set in Miami, Florida earlier this year (21) that they are sponsoring his comeback tour.
The rapper lost endorsements and was pulled from the line-ups at several festivals after he poked fun at gay fans and AIDS sufferers during his Rolling Loud performance, but he has since apologised for his remarks and sat down with gay rights activists to discuss the damage his comments did.
He's now lined up the 22-date Rolling Loud Live Show Killa Tour, which is "THE SHOW YOU THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER SEE AGAIN," the rap star boasts.
DaBaby returned to the Rolling Loud stage in New York late last month (Oct21) and joined 50 Cent onstage.
Following their performance, DaBaby took to Instagram to thank the "In Da Club" hitmaker, "Preciate you always bruh (sic)."
However, things were different with his collaborator Dua Lipa.
She distanced herself from the rapper following his rant, "I really don't recognize this as the person I worked with. I know my fans know where my heart lies and that I stand 100% with the LGBTQ community. We need to come together to fight the stigma and ignorance around HIV/AIDS."
She also opted not submit her hit "Levitating" remix for 2022 Grammy consideration because DaBaby was featured in it. But she still has a shot at being nominated for a Grammy for her guest spot on Pop Smoke's track "Demeanor".
