After a disappointing debut week, Boosie Badazz asked Drake to help promote his My Struggle biopic in the Canadian market in order to improve its sales.
“Ay Drake, I need you to tell Canada fuck with my biopic,” Boosie said in a new Instagram video. “Go f*ck with my film. Go on tell the 6 go fuck with my film. [I] know you got power. Help me out, n****a.” Shortly after his plea, Boosie took to Twitter on Tuesday to say that his Instagram had been suspended due to asking Drake for help. The Baton Rouge MC had already had his account disabled back in August, after he slapped a man in the music video for his DaBaby collab “Period.”
“MY IG WAS TAKEN FOR NOTHING AGAIN,” Boosie wrote on Twitter. “THEY MUST HAVE FOUND OUT I HAVE A FILM THAT IM PROMOTING. PLEASE CONTINUE TO BUY MY FILM DESPITE THIS MOVE TO STOP THE SUCESS OF MY STRUGGLE. YALL ALL I GOT AGAINST THESE POWERFUL PEOPLE. BUY IT TWICE TO BOOST MY FIRST WEEK NUMBERS THANKS.” He reaffirmed this point in another tweet, stating, “THEY SAW ME REACH OUT TO DRAKE FOR HELP SMH GO BUY MY MOVIE 3TIMES FUCK THESE PEOPLE!!”
Lil Duval had previously shamed the industry for its lack of support of Boosie’s film. “Every celeb you can think of was at BMF premiere,” he wrote on Instagram, referring to 50 Cent’s premiere of his new series Black Mafia Family on Starz. “But at @hesbackagain2021 premiere I only saw @qcmceo_p @troublemmb and @iamdesibanks all I’m saying is we gotta support the streets the same way we support the mainstream stuff. Especially in the south. Cuz they really don’t fuck wit us they just deal wit us. #staywoke.”
Drake has yet to respond to Boosie’s request.
