DaBaby still hasn't donated or spoken to several of the HIV/AIDS organizations he met with earlier this year.
Back in August, the rapper met with nine HIV-awareness charities after making dangerous false claims about HIV/AIDS and homophobic comments during his set at this year's Rolling Loud festival. At the time, the organizations said DaBaby was "genuinely engaged, apologized for the inaccurate and hurtful comments he made about people living with HIV" and responded to the information with "deep respect." However, it's unclear whether it stuck, seeing as how he hasn't engaged with multiple charities since that meeting.

On World AIDS Day, the Daily Beast spoke to representatives for three out of the nine organizations, all whom said they have yet to receive donations or any kind of follow-up support from him. The organizations that responded include the Positive Women's Network, the Black AIDS Institute, and the Normal Anomaly Initiative, while the other six have yet to respond.
"Since then, we have not received any outreach, partnership, or funding from DaBaby," Black AIDS Institute communications consultant Pavni Guharoy said. "The onus is now on him, if he chooses to, to convert his misinformation into allyship by supporting the work of the Black AIDS Institute and other people of color-led HIV organizations."

There already always organizations or celebs running towards problematic people to 'educate'. And honestly it's a waste of time and they will use you for damage control.
Quote"The internet can fuel a lot of hate & anger and is the nucleus of cancel culture ... but I believe it can also be a place filled with education, conversation, communication & connection."
"It's easier to cancel someone than to find forgiveness and compassion in ourselves or take the time to change hearts and minds," Cyrus concluded in her post on Wednesday. "There's no more room for division if we want to keep seeing progress! Knowledge is power! I know I still have so much to learn!"
"@DaBaby check your DMs – would love to talk and see how we can learn from each other and help be part of making a more just and understanding future,

DaBaby was never open to be have a conversation, he was trying to save his brand deals and the concerts he had lined up.
