Previously, T.I. faced backlash for defending comments made by DaBaby during his Rolling Loud Miami set, where the rapper commented on STDs and called out homosexuality. The rapper said, “Ladies, if your pussy smell like water, put your cellphone light in the air. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking d**k in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up." T.I. took to The Shade Room’s comments on a repost of the video and called for “equality,” with DaBaby’s statement, saying if Lil Nas X can speak his peace, DaBaby should be able to as well. Now, Sabrina Peterson has given her take on T.I.’s comments.
Via Instagram, Peterson said, “More Black women are catching HIV from Black men that can't control their flesh. More than gay men! Actually the safest best for a Black woman these days may be with a woman." In the caption of her post, Peterson wrote “I said what I said!” This comes after DaBaby tried to clarify what he meant during his Rolling Loud rant, only to cause more backlash. Take a look above.

T.I. recently commented on DaBaby's comments made during his set, which was perceived to be a homophobic rant. Since then, the Atlanta rapper has faced backlash after defending DaBaby's right to speak his mind. T.I. took to Instagram live to address the matter, saying, “Ain’t nothing in the world that makes me hate somebody just because of what they got going on in the bedroom.” From there, people on IG Live questioned him, saying “who are you?” to even comment on the matter, which led T.I. to clap back and say, “who the f**k are you?”
From there, T.I. went on to he doesn’t care about what you do with your genitalia, then called out Lil Nas X and Frank Ocean, saying he respects them for living in their truth, while also saying there are a lot of other people in the industry who are not living in their truth.
The rapper then said you can’t make someone homophobic, saying “Just because I’m proud of what I am don’t make me hate what you are, period.” Watch above.

DaBaby is catching heat following comments he made during his Rolling Loud set, which many people are calling homophobic.
After a shoe was thrown at the "Suge" rapper, DaBaby told the crowd, "If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up." He added, "Ladies, if your p*ssy smell like water, put your cellphone lighter up. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking d*ck in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up."
DaBaby jumped on stage at the Miami festival after Megan Thee Stallion, and he brought out special guest Tory Lanez, who is accused of shooting Megan last year. DaBaby and Megan haven't been on good terms since DaBaby teamed up with Tory for the "SKAT" video last month. Following the release of the video, Megan unfollowed DaBaby on Instagram after they had previously collaborated on several songs, including "Cash Sh*t," "Nasty," and "Cry Baby."
