The organizations hope to educate and help him gain factual information that he can share with his fans. During the meeting, the rapper took accountability for actions, offering apologies for how he went about the situation.
“Our goal was to ‘call him in instead of calling him out,'” 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.”
From TMZ: “The CEO for Relationship Unleashed, Gwendolyn D. Clemons, tells TMZ … she and her cohorts at the nonprofit can comfortably sign off on DB’s appearance at Rolling Loud NY last week — and any future concerts — as they feel he’s learned a lot over the past few months.”
A few months later, the rapper is back on stage and performing for audiences. The artist was on stage as a special guest for Rolling Loud in New York. In the midst of the controversy and criticism, he has been receiving much support from many artists and fans after his fallout. Most importantly, he now has a mentor who plans to educate him about the industry and support him: 50 Cent.
