KS 107.5 Summer Jam Canceled in Denver Following DaBaby's On Stage Remarks at Rolling Loud Miami

, ,
Audacy, Inc. rhythmic station KS 107.5's annual Summer Jam has been canceled following crude and homophobic remarks made by headliner DaBaby at Rolling Loud Miami music festival last week. The Grammy-nominated rapper had been scheduled to headline Summer Jam at Denver's Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre on Saturday, Sept. 4.


"In light of various factors, including DaBaby's recent comments, along with our concert partners, we have chosen to cancel this year's Summer Jam," said a statement from KS 107.5. "We look forward to working on Summer Jam lineups for years to come with our love of music and each other."

DaBaby issued a second apology yesterday following a previous apology that didn't quite meet the level of expectation for contrition. Before he issued the apologies he went on a rant against those who felt his on stage "call and response" shouts were controversial. Clearly DaBaby should have sought out a publicist before making any comments on social media. It's obvious his people did reach out to a public relations expert before issuing his second apology.

In recent days DaBaby has been removed from four major concerts across the country.

Tickets for KS 107.5 Summer Jam will refunded from the original point of purchase.


However some twitter users are questioning why the concert couldn't move forward without DaBaby as the headline artist.


Here's a break down of everything happening with DaBaby and his recent controversies from Complex News.

• Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

• Tavis Smiley owned Los Angeles talk station KBLA Talk 1580 donated $20,000 in scholarship money to the NABJLA and MPJI. Smiley says, “The National Association of Black Journalists of Los Angeles and the Minority Photo-Journalism Institute are making a tangible difference in our community by helping students pursue careers in journalism and communications. KBLA ‘Talk 1580’ strongly believes in enlightening, empowering and encouraging tomorrow’s reporters, editors and potential talk radio hosts. Hopefully, our scholarships make a difference.”

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
