Boosie Badazz appears to hit out at Gabrielle Union for questioning his sexuality in resurfaced clip
Boosie Badazz appears to have belatedly responded to an old Gabrielle Union interview, in which she implied the rapper was in the closet about his sexuality.
On Sunday night (4 December), the 40-year-old rapper shared a fiery tweet, writing: “Lol The Whole World Know I Love Women N The World Know Your Husband Love Dick I Hope U Dont Think Blacks Look At Yall Like A Power Couple They Dont I Had Refused To Talk About Yall In Interviews N Hear You Gogo Bang Him With That Dildo N Wait On A Script U Lil White Girl.”
Badazz, whose real name is Torence Ivy Hatch, followed up with another post telling Union she “Better Leave Me Alone”.
“How Dare U Challenge A Ghetto Heros Manhood ,U Wrong Smh I Dont Have The Time For This, Im Tryin To Have Peace N My Life N Stay Alive,” he added.

Kanye West’s way of looking at things and doing them might be a bit eccentric but the rapper feels hurt when people call him “crazy”, reports People magazine. During part two of his sit-down interview on Fox News show ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’, the controversial rapper, 45, said: “They keep on using the ‘Oh he’s crazy, he’s crazy’ thing. And it hurts my feelings when people say that.”
“It hurts my feelings that people can ask, ‘Hey, are you okay?'”
According to People, West’s latest remarks come after he received backlash for a concerning tweet he sent to Boosie Badazz (formerly Lil Boosie) after the fellow rapper criticised West’s ‘White Lives Matter’ t-shirt.
“Don’t speak on me Lil Boosie speak to me (sic)”, he tweeted that has since been deleted but has been captured and shared on Twitter.

Over four years after signing with Atlantic Records and releasing his self-described debut album, Until Death Call My Name, Youngboy Never Broke Again remains an enigma. The 22-year-old North Baton Rouge rapper isn’t a clear innovator like Playboi Carti and isn’t a symbol for an intensely creative scene like his rival Lil Durk’s Chicago or Pop Smoke’s Brooklyn. He’s landed four Billboard number-one projects in the past two years, building a massive online following in the process. (Like most social media “hives,” his fans, who...

Lil Nas X, who received zero BET Awards nominations for this year’s show, escalated his flame war against BET by previewing a diss track in a Twitter video on Tuesday in which he rapped, “F— BET,” and continually flipped the bird.
In a response Tuesday night, the network said “we love Lil Nas X,” but explained that no one at BET was involved in voting for the awards. Read more about that here.
When the awards were announced on June 1, the “Industry Baby” rapper, who is openly gay, tweeted in a thread he later deleted, “I just feel like black gay ppl have to fight to be seen in this world and even when we make it to the top, mfs try to pretend we are invisible.”

The first hours after a mass shooting are often awash in disinformation, as Internet hacks try to piece together a portrait of the killer. Frequently, the worse the information, the faster it spreads — because the sloppy sleuthing appeals to the prejudices of those determined to blame the deadly violence on anything but guns.
On Tuesday evening, such foul disinformation — about the heinous crime that killed 19 students at the Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas — was promoted by a Republican member of Congress. Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona tweeted that the...

Somewhere between the election, the pandemic, and the looming environmental catastrophe, a reshuffling of attitudes took hold. In the past year, icons like Britney Spears have been reconsidered in a new, more empathic, context. Similarly, the open secrets of alleged bad actors like Marilyn Manson are finally sticking in the public’s consciousness. It makes sense that 2021 was also the year that the world forgot why it was so mad at Azealia Banks. The musician has never been guilty of much more than speaking her mind, often about the kind...

When news broke of the tragic death of Memphis rapper Young Dolph on the afternoon of Nov. 18, it was a sorrowful reminder of the way violence has robbed us of so many hip-hop greats. Dolph, born Adolph Robert Thornton Jr. in Chicago and raised in Memphis, was innately talented. He possessed the kind of laconic Southern swagger that by now is enshrined in hip-hop mythology. A fiercely independent outlaw from the outskirts of the mainstream, able to fire off a chart-topping record nonetheless.

DaBaby has always been a troll of sorts. In 2017, the rapper showed up at the Austin music festival South by Southwest in a diaper, performing a publicity stunt that poked fun at his chosen rap persona. Now, four years from his introduction to the masses, DaBaby has taken his trolling to a more troubling realm.
During his set at last weekend’s Rolling Loud Festival in Miami, the rapper brought out controversial Toronto rapper Tory Lanez, who Megan Thee Stallion alleges shot her in the foot last year during an altercation.

An unidentified man is reportedly in critical condition, after being shot on the set of a Boosie Badazz music video in Hunstville, Alabama.
According to TMZ, the rapper (born Torrence Ivy Hatch) was not harmed in the shooting, which took place around 4:30 p.m. At this time, the Huntsville Police reportedly have no suspects in custody. As of yet, they also have not shared a motive for the shooting.
When the police pulled up to the scene, they found somewhere between 50 and 100 people fleeing for their lives. A man in his 20s was on the ground, after suffering a gunshot wound, and he was subsequently transported to a local hospital by EMTs.
While Badazz managed to stay out of the line of fire today, this wasn’t his first encounter with a public shooting. In November of 2020, the rapper was shot in the leg in Dallas, Texas, after attending...

Dwyane Wade shared how much it meant to him that boxer Mike Tyson took the time to stand up for Dwyane's 13-year-old daughter Zaya, who came out as transgender in 2019. In February, rapper Boosie Badazz made transphobic remarks about Zaya on Instagram. He later doubled down on his comments in an interview with Baller Alert's Sesh w/ Shirley, where he once again misgendered Zaya. In October, Mike had the "Nasty Nasty" rapper on his podcast Hotboxin' and criticized the artist for his behavior towards Zaya, asking Boosie, "What happened to you that you think that you're somebody that can comment on somebody's life?" Dwyane shared with Central Ave...

Up-and-coming rapper Lil Head Cold reportedly died just days after popping up via a comment in a Boosie Badazz Instagram Live. Fans began speculating that Boosie (whose real name is Torrance Hatch) may have had something to do with it. However, it looks like the timing of his apparent death is purely coincidental. It all started during a recent Boosie Badazz Ig Live where the rapper read out loud a threat that said, “I’ll kill your son, bring him to the show.” The comment didn’t pop up on the screen during this recording, below, but Boosie can be heard reading […]
