Following a letter penned by nine HIV organizations, DaBaby met virtually with the black members of the organizations to address the impact of his comments about LGBTQ-people and HIV/AIDS patients.

As reported by PEOPLE, the statement read, "We believed that if he connected with Black leaders living with HIV that a space for community building and healing could be created. We are encouraged he swiftly answered our call and joined us in a meaningful dialogue and a thoughtful, educational meeting.
