On Tuesday, Dua took to Instagram to share a statement that addressed the controversy.

She posted the text to her Instagram story: "I'm surprised and horrified at DaBaby's comments. I really don't recognise this as the person I worked with."

The 'Love Again' singer has been a long-standing ally of the LGBTQ+ community, with many of her releases being considered anthems to queer people.

The 25-year-old star further cemented that her support is with the community.

She continued: "I know my fans know where my heart lies and I stand 100% with the LGBTQ community. We need to come together to fight the stigma and ignorance around HIV/AIDS."

Dua and DaBaby had collaborated on a popular remix of her smash hit 'Levitating' that was featured on the deluxe edition of 'Future Nostalgia'.

Pop singer, Victoria Monét, even offered up her vocals to replace DaBaby's role in the remix as news of the controversial comments broke.
