DaBaby's career hangs in the balance after he made homophobic comments on stage at a music festival.
Music icon Elton John, 74, has hit back at the 29-year-old for his "HIV misinformation and homophobia."
DaBaby - real name Jonathan Lyndale Kirk - appeared at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami.
He encouraged festival-goers to raise their mobile phones in the air - unless they were HIV-positive or gay men who had had sex with another man in a car park.
Speaking to the crowd, the "ROCKSTAR" rapper said: "If you didn't show up today with HIV, AIDS, any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that'll make you die in two or three weeks, put your cellphone light in the air."
"Ladies, if your p***y smell like water, put your cellphone light in the air. Fellas, if you ain't suck a n****'s d**k in the parking lot, put your cellphone lights in the air. Keep it f*****g real."
Yesterday, five time Grammy winner Elton John blasted DaBaby's comments.
He hit back as he shared a quote to his Instagram that read: "HIV misinformation and homophobia have no place in the music industry."
"We must break down the stigma around HIV and not spread it. As musicians it's our job to bring people together."
The topic is close to Elton's heart as he set up the The Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992 to support innovative HIV prevention.
John was inspired to start the organization after losing two friends to AIDS in just one year. One was Ryan White, a young man who was infected with HIV by a blood transfusion and who died in 1990.
Under the post Elton wrote: "We've been shocked to read about the HIV misinformation and homophobic statements made at a recent DaBaby show. This fuels stigma and discrimination and is the opposite of what our world needs to fight the AIDS epidemic."
He went on to share several facts about HIV including how you can "live a long and healthy life with HIV."
DaBaby apologised on Wednesday after making the homophobic comments, admitting his words were "insensitive" but that he had "no intentions on offending anybody."
In a tweet he wrote: "Anybody who done ever been effected by AIDS/HIV y'all got the right to be upset, what I said was insensitive even though I have no intentions on offending anybody. So my apologies - But the LGBT community… I ain't trippin on y'all, do you. y'all business is y'all business."
It comes just after Dua Lipa spoke out against the homophobic comments made by the musician.
Taking to her Instagram story on Tuesday evening, Dua, 25, condemned the comments made by DaBaby.
She wrote: "I'm surprised and horrified at DaBaby's comments. 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."
Dua Lipa and DaBaby previously worked together for a remix of her song Levitating, for her album Future Nostalgia.
Boohoo Group’s menswear has also cut ties with rapper.
Taking to his Instagram stories DaBaby made a hollow apology.
"Nah you got Elton John responding this might be it," one person wrote online.
"See someone’s career is going to be gone real quick," a second added.
"That's it, Sir Elton done made a statement... These guys REALLY need a publicist on coaching on things to say when and when not to..." a third chimed in.
"ok once elton john spoke you know you in some trouble," a fourth commented.
"Everybody trying to down play what DaBaby said. It was out of line no matter how you look at it," a comment read.
