Miley called for “forgiveness and compassion” for DaBaby, as her full post read: “As a proud and loyal member of the LGBTQIA+ community, much of my life has been dedicated to encouraging love, acceptance and open mindedness.
“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."
“There’s no room for division if we want to keep seeing progress! Knowledge is power! I know I still have so much to learn!", she added.
Many fans took to the comments to praise Miley for reaching out to the rapper.
This comes just days after DaBaby shared a statement on Instagram, apologising for the “hurtful and triggering comments” he made.
