Despite Choppa getting brutally dragged, he tried to explain it to the fans as he shared another tweet expressing his valuable opinion.

Sharing the tweet with his close to one million followers, the 18-year-old rapper first stated that DaBaby will eventually come out bigger than ever despite the controversy. “Dababy Gone Come Out Bigger Than Ever While Y’all Tryna Down Play The Man.” And, while replying to one fan’s tweet, Choppa shared, “Ian say it was. But not everybody acting like we ain’t human. If y’all think bruh said what he said with the intent to hurt somebody y’all delusional. It’s comedian saying worst s**t then what bruh said.”
 
After observing that his “triggering comments” on the LGBTQ+ community had done the damage, DaBaby shared a lengthy apology on his Instagram on Monday, August 2. “Social media moves so fast that people want to demolish you before you even have the opportunity to grow, educate, and learn from your mistakes.” He continued, “As a man who has had to make his own way from very difficult circumstances, having people I know publicly working against me - knowing that what I needed was education on these topics and guidance - has been challenging. I appreciate the many people who came to me with kindness, who reached out to me privately to offer wisdom, education, and resources. That's what I needed and it was received”, concluding, “I want to apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made. Again, I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS and I know education on this is important. Love to all. God bless.”

‘I just lost all respect for you’, says Twitter

Social media users warned NLE Choppa for trying to support DaBaby telling him that the latter was wrong on all parts. One user stated, “This is so disappointing bru…” whereas, one posted, “I respect you but DaBaby said that shit unprovoked. It came out homophobic and uneducated. Then he tripled down on his "idgaf" stance.. we ain't down playing him. He did it to himself then his apology blamed everyone else.”
 
Another added, “I just lost all respect for you and you was one of my favorite rappers we see how you coming.” One tweeted, "Should’ve left that in the drafts.” Meanwhile, one warned Choppa and asserted, “Don’t get on the cancellation list.  Mind ya business,  just mind ya business.” The next one concluded, “Nah bro what dababy said was outta pocket dude, completely unprovoked.”
