DONT GET MAD AT ME CAUSE YOUR SON CAME OUT LIKE THAT LOL,” he wrote. “I KNOW IT HURTS.”


See original story below.

Following Boosie Badazz’s latest homophobic rant targeted at Lil Nas X that was later removed from Twitter, X’s dad, Robert Stafford, took to social media to defend his son and call out the Louisiana rapper for being hypocritical and ignorant.

“How the hell you’re a gangsta rapper promoting drugs, gun violence, degrading women and getting high every video talking about you’re for the kids man sit your old man looking ass down,” he wrote on his Instagram story. “The game has past you. We real Bankhead over here. Not like the guy who claims it.”

The Bankhead that Stafford is likely referring to is a neighborhood in west downtown Atlanta, the city that Lil Nas X grew up in.

Boosie faced major backlash after going on a homophobic tirade on social media this past weekend in response to Nas X joking that they had a song together in the works.

Boosie responded via Twitter, unloading a series of homophobic slurs in a since-deleted tweet that doesn’t bear repeating here.

This isn’t the first time Nas X’s father has defended his son from other artists. After DaBaby’s homophobic rant at Rolling Loud this past summer, Stafford took to his Instagram Story again to tell the rapper to “sit down” and leave his son alone.
