American musician and actress, Miley Cyrus has encouraged people to not ‘cancel’ US rapper, DaBaby. This is following derogatory comments made by the rapper on gay marriage and HIV/AIDS.
Cyrus got in touch with DaBaby in order to ‘educate’ him. This is following his comments about gay men and Aids while on stage at a festival.
The former Disney star identifies as LGBTQ+. She used her verified Instagram page to encourage people not to cancel DaBaby. Instead , she offered to help him have a better understanding of HIV and Aids.
The Wrecking Ball singer also pointed him towards resources that could help him understand better. These resources included Greater Than Aids, which provides a public information service on social media.
The award winning actress wrote : ‘
“As a proud and loyal member of the LGBTQIA+ community, much of my life has been dedicated to encouraging love, acceptance, and open mindedness.
The internet can fuel a lot for hate & anger and is the nucleus of cancel culture…but I believe it can also be a place filled with education, conversation, communication & connection.”
Cyrus’ move is different from other celebrities like Demi Lovato and Dua Lipa. These stars amongst others, have publicly expressed total disdain and lack of support for the rapper.
Eelive reported earlier that Jonathan Lyndale Kirk, popularly known as DaBaby came under fire for his misinformed and derogatory comments about gay marriage and HIV/AIDS.
