Following the backlash against DaBaby for homophobic comments made at Rolling Loud Miami, Boosie Badazz defended the rapper and used it as an opportunity to share his own hateful remarks. At one point during a rant on Instagram Live, Boosie called Lil Nas X a “lil f****t ass” and “the most disrespectful motherfucker in the world.” He also proclaimed, “If I’m at an awards [show] and he go up there naked, I’ma drag his ass offstage and beat his ass.”
Former NBA star Nick Young co-signed Boosie’s rant, and Lil Nas X has responded. “Facts,” wrote Young in an Instagram comment on a Hollywood Unlocked post about Boosie’s remarks. “Freedom of speech.”
After Young’s comments started to circulate on Twitter, Lil Nas X offered up a reply. “A n***a saying he will ‘beat my f***t ass’ is not what we meant by freedom of speech,” wrote the “Industry Baby” artist.
Lil Nas X did not comment on what DaBaby said during his Rolling Loud Miami performance, but his name got dragged into the controversy when T.I. first defended DaBaby.
"If you have a Lil Nas X video, and him living his truth, you gon’ damn sure have people like DaBaby who gon’ speak they truth,” said T.I., who is currently facing allegations of sex trafficking. Shortly after, Boosie went on Instagram Live to also express support for DaBaby, using the opportunity to go on yet another homophobic rant.
“You let a n***a dance naked in front your children, you a motherfuckin’ crazy motherfucker—or you like dick too," said Boosie, who once claimed he paid an adult woman to perform oral sex on his underage son and nephews.
Earlier this year, Nick Young found himself the target of another controversy after he shared misogynistic comments regarding the NCAA.
