Drew Brees has become a topic of conversation since his tone-deaf remarks went viral the other day. The NFL player was asked about players potentially kneeling as the NFL season resumes, given all that’s happening right now with the protests of George Floyd, and of course, Colin Kaepernick initially taking a knee as a form of protest against exactly this type of thing. Yet Brees stated, “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country,” missing the point entirely.

Following heavy backlash online, Drew Brees issued an extensive apology. “I would like to apologize to my friends, teammates, the City of New Orleans, the black community, NFL community and anyone I hurt with my comments. In speaking with some of you, it breaks my heart to know the pain I have caused. In an attempt to talk about respect, unity, and solidarity centered around the American flag and the national anthem, I made comments that were insensitive and completely missed the mark on the issues we are facing right now as a country,” he wrote in an IG post.

However it’s doing little to fix the damage he’s incurred. Among those calling him out for his remarks, there has been Lebron James and Shannon Sharpe. Now Boosie Badazz joins the chorus of naysayers, vowing not to support the Saints any more. 

Boosie shared an image that is currently going viral on social media, of Brees sitting with Trump and his wife Melania. In the caption, he not only admonishes him for his comments, stating how the Black community has been an important part of his career, but equally trolls him, saying that Trump may be in his wife’s DMs. He ends the caption with a simple demand: “TRADE HIM.”

“DAM @drewbrees U SHOWED YO TRUE COLORS U LET ME DOWN BRO THE BLACK COMMUNITY IS A BIG PART OF YOUR CAREER MF. LOOK LIKE IM GOING FOR THE FALCONS WHEN THEY PLAY SAINTS I STILL AINT PUT GUCCI BACK ON YET SO AS LONG AS YOU QUARTERBACK IM NOT SUPPORTING THE SAINTS ‼️u were so happy on this pic. I know trump was giving your wife that EYE ‼️check her dm he’s probably n it. TRADE HIM TRADE HIM TRADE HIM TRADE HIM TRADE HIM,” Boosie wrote.

Check out the post below. Young Scooter hopped in the comments to concur: “Drew tripping.”

While most of Boosie Badazz’s conversation with Theo Von centered about Black issues and Boosie’s response to the protests, towards the very end of the conversation, Boosie casually reveals that he’s got a new business in the works, and it’s one to rival the UFC.

When Theo Von asks Boosie if he wants the UFC, he quickly replies no, before revealing his own fight-business plans:

“I’m finna start my own backyard, across-the-track fights. We just going through the lawyers right now, I got my logo together.”

Boosie says, “Every place got across the track. So we going to be setting up by train tracks. I got the steel gate. Got all my paperwork together. I’ma do five fights in each city.”

As far as Boosie’s role, beyond the business side, he’ll be taking a cue from Joe Rogan and putting on his commentator hat, before elaborating on just how tough his fights will be.

“And it gon’ be funny cause I’ma be the commentator. I’m going to be going off. And how mine is, you gotta be dropped five times. A TKO is five times. The fight keeps on going through out the fifth round if you haven’t been knocked out five times, or you out cold. That’s the only way the fight stops.”

Boosie adds, “We gon’ kill it bro, across the track street fights.”

Do you think this will really come to fruition? Would you tune in?

Theo Von has a pretty eclectic array of guests on his podcast, This Past Weekend. As Boosie Badazz touches down in L.A., the rapper made a surprise appearance on Theo’s podcast, for a candid conversation mainly about race, and issues therein.

In light of protests championing George Floyd’s brutal death at the hands of police, the conversation is very relevant. Boosie shares his take on the protests and riots, as well as the Black experience in America, questioning why no President has ever tried to give Black people reparations, and speaking on just how common police brutality is.

“I think it’s all well-deserved,” Boosie said soberly, in response to whether he sees a difference between the protestors and the looters.

“It been going on,” Boosie said of police killing Black man, citing his own neighborhood hero who he says was “smashed” by a cop, resulting in his death. “It’s just now we got ’em. As soon as something happened it get out. If they didn’t have those cameras– those phones– it blessed us — now they see what they’ve been doing for twenty five years.”

As far as the protests, Boosie elaborates on the elements coming together to create a perfect storm: “People tired of being at home, our President’s crazy, it wasn’t the time for this. Especially for Black people,” Boosie says, before questioning: “Black people should be paid, like the Indians, our race been through more shit than anybody. Why hasn’t any President said why aren’t the Black Americans compensated? We was hanged, our wealth was stolen from us– millions, kids are dying today. Black families should be compensated, why no motherfucking President said it, not even Obama.”

As the conversation continues, Boosie speaks on how the Black story and experience is shared rap music, and how that allows for Black families to be taken care of.

Though beloved Baton Rouge rapper Boosie Badazz has been known to be defiant, it would appear he’s in the midst self-isolating like the rest of us. As we’ve already seen several prominent rappers struggling to retain sanity against cabin fever — Cardi B and Offset the obsessive blunt roller come to mind — it’s no wonder Boosie has found himself on the quest for inspiration.

As such, he’s opened the floor for a massive deal — fifty percent off a Boosie Badazz verse until the Coronavirus pandemic subsides. “Corona got a n***a in the house,” says Boosie, his favored platform of Instagram Live. “Half off them verses till the Corona over with, fuck that. Let’s get it. Hit the number on the drop. You trying to get a hit from me? Half off all muthafuckin’ verses till the Corona over with.” Should you be interested in taking the Badazz one up on his offer, the following numbers have been made available — serious inquiries only, no doubt —  the IG embed below.

Given that many creatives have likely turned to their home studios in an attempt to craft the next great mixtape, perhaps a Boosie verse would be a worthwhile investment. Provided one’s treasury can afford such an expense.  In any case, it remains a wholesome gesture from the Badazz one, who was originally primed for a big year himself; it remains to be seen whether his joint project with YoungBoy Never Broke Again will arrive as originally planned. 

Check out the announcement below, and most importantly, be safe out there.

When it comes to approaching topics of this nature, Boosie Badazz isn’t always the most sensitive guy. The Baton Rouge icon just ran into some harsh backlash for his thoughts on Dwyane Wade’s transgender daughter, and his subsequent rant about Planet Fitness. While this situation is certainly less touchy, the coronavirus has people up in arms and, in a world where Summer Walker is getting dragged for her so-called xenophobic response to the pandemic, Boosie Badazz might want to be a little more careful.

Summer Walker and Boosie Badazz don’t necessarily share the same type of fanbase — in fact, they’re two completely different artists — but they are both feeling the heat over their posts related to the coronavirus. Getting a little too high, Boosie shared a post that shows Kevin Garnett and Yao Ming during the NBA All-Star Game, however, one pertinent detail has been added to the picture. KG is wearing a face mask.

The comments are surprisingly mixed. There are folks laughing along with Boosie Badazz’s attempt to make light of the terrifying virus, while a whole other group of people are urging him to take down the post because of its xenophobic roots. Considering his rant about Dwyane Wade’s daughter is still present on his page, we wouldn’t be surprised if Boosie kept this one up before doubling down on its message.

Stay tuned for even more craziness from the rapper, who will be debuting his reality show with HotNewHipHop very soon.

We all know that Boosie Badazz, formerly known as Lil Boosie, is stuck in his old school ways but when he ranted about Dwyane Wade’s decision to support his 12-year-old transgender daughter Zaya, he definitely crossed a line. The Baton Rouge rap icon recorded a video of himself speaking about Wade’s appearance on Ellen where he out explained his decision to support his daughter, who was born Zion Wade. Boosie Badazz ended up misgendering the little girl, earning major backlash on social media as a result. Young Thugfound himself in a similar position. Because of his comments, Boosie was subsequently banned from a Planet Fitness location, which caused him to spew further homophobic slurs.

“MANAGER WHO WAS GAY REFUSED TO LET ME N PLANET FITNESS BECAUSE OF MY PAST ACTIONS ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT GENDER,” wrote Boosie on Instagram, saying in the video that the man was also upset that he referred to one of their employees as a “f****t” He went on to post the address of the location in question, calling for a boycott of their services and claiming that they have roaches. “THEY HAVE ROACHES , N THEY SHOWER WATER DONT GET HOT,” he said.

Boosie Badazz has gotten caught in hot water over his previous comments about gender and sexuality. His rant about Zaya Wade is simply the most recent instance of it.

Way before Kifano “Shotti” Jordan was rocking a red rosary necklace behind bars, Boosie Badazz managed to get all of his jewelry into his cell, rocking some gold around his neck and wrists. The Baton Rouge legend is far removed from his days in the slammer. Although he still periodically gets into trouble with the cops, nothing has been as serious as the charges he once faced. Several years ago, Boosie was unsure of how his life would turn out. He was facing the death penalty, nearly being subjected to lethal injection in a murder case but, after remaining loyal to his team and refusing to break, bend, or fold, the rapper was released from prison and found freedom. He still remembers all the craziness he faced inside of the penitentiary and, this weekend, he looked back on how much of a baller he was, even behind bars.

Sharing a picture of himself circa 2012, Boosie Badazz can be seen in a prison cell with the bars behind him. He throws up his left fist to flaunt the gold jewelry around his wrist, also showing off a number of chains that somehow weren’t confiscated. “I WAS A DON N PENITENTIARY,” bragged the iconic Southern Rap figure. Yes, Boo, you absolutely were.

We’re going to need more pictures from when he was in prison because, lord knows, there must be more where this came from.

Baton Rouge legend Boosie Badazz is one of the funniest men in the entire music industry, speaking candidly on just about anything he's asked during interviews. If you're tasked with formulating questions for the man, you better come up with some good ones because he can give you a whole bunch of quotes in just one sitting. From his lust for Rihanna to his comments about the infamous cucumber party this summer, Boosie is never not entertaining. During a recent conversation with self-proclaimed radio guru Terri Thomas, Boosie entered the chat with yet another goldmine, noting that the only thing he would change about his life is "fewer baby mothers."

When asked what he would alter about his life's trajectory, Boopac noted that he would keep things relatively consistent. "I'd probably take the same route with all my troubles and stuff because that's what made me," admitted the rapper. "I would keep everything else. Probably my same kids, just fewer baby mothers. I feel like I should have skeeted in the same woman and put 'em all in her instead of being so young. You gotta watch out for that, you know, having kids at a young age."

He went on to explain the type of advice he gives his children, noting that he wants them to finish school and chase their dreams. Words of wisdom from Boosie Badazz. Never change, Boo.

I asked Boosie if he started over today what he would do different? The convo led to his love for his kids and thoughts on Major Label deals vs staying Independent. . . . #FreeGame #TerriThomas #Motivation #Inspiration #WordsOfWisdom #HumpDay #Boosie #IilBoosie #BoosieBadAzz

A post shared by Terri Thomas ? (@territhomas) on Jan 16, 2020 at 4:53am PST

Baton Rouge legend Boosie Badazz has no problem voicing his opinion on a myriad of topics relevant in our world today. He generally comes through with some social media street wisdom every time something pops off, going live or updating his fans on how he feels about a certain issue. In the past, Boosie has shared his controversial takes on the Jussie Smollett scandal, Lil Nas X’s musical success, and the depiction of homosexual characters in children’s media. In a multi-part interview with VladTV, the rapper revisited that very same topic and, this time, he was a little tamer in his response.

When prompted to speak about rappers who identify within the LGBTQ+ community, Boosie said that he never would have predicted this twenty years ago. “That would have never happened,” says Boosie about the current pop of rappers coming out. “Coming up under Tupac and Biggie and shit like that, that’s just to show you how far it has gone. You never know, in twenty more years, it’s gonna be a gay president probably. But I don’t have no problem with the gays. I got gays in my family.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Boosie speaks about the craze behind the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich last year, detailing how much he hated it and passionately disclosing that it did not even come close to Chick-Fil-A’s version. Watch below.
