Boosie letter to the gays

On the other, critics argue that his words are harmful and perpetuate negative stereotypes about the LGBTQIA+ community. A quarter million. Hashtags related to the track are trending, and both fans and critics alike are using these tags to make their voices heard.

On Wednesday (June 19), the Baton Rouge rapper hit X/Twitter, sharing a video of himself driving and listening to his upcoming song.

The mixed reactions from social media indicate that Boosie’s approach continues to polarize opinions.

Public Reactions

Public opinion on “Letter To The LGBT” is deeply divided. This could be seen as an olive branch extended to those he has previously offended, yet the effectiveness of this gesture is still up for debate.

While some believe that Boosie’s comments show a willingness to bridge the gap, others think his words fall short.

The “Set it Off” artist explained that they offered him $250,000 for the potential concert, but asserted, “That’s not what I believe in.” However, at this time, he did attempt to clarify that he doesn’t “hate” gay people, but just doesn’t agree with their lifestyle.

In another snippet, Boosie references his previous remarks about Dwayne Wade’s daughter and repeats his stance on transgender athletes.

“How can a real woman lay up in a bed with a man who got nails like her?/ Wear a f**kin’ purse like her, but not bleeding on the 1st like her?”

Boosie has a history of being combative with the LGBTQIA+ community, with the rapper previously making homophobic and/ or tone-deaf remarks at their expense. Many are asking him to refrain from making any comments about the community altogether.

Despite his assertion that he holds no “hate” for LGBTQIA+ individuals and doesn’t wish to offend anyone, Boosie’s lyrics indicate a lack of understanding and sensitivity, according to many critics.

With Boosie being known for his controversial views on the LGBTQIA+ community, the lyrics reflect his unfiltered thoughts, leading to mixed reactions from his audience.

While some listeners believe Boosie is simply stating facts, others find the song offensive and are calling for him to stop addressing the LGBTQIA+ community altogether.

The artist attempts to walk a fine line, saying he bears no “hate” for the LGBTQIA+ community and hopes they don’t hate him either.

“Rapper paint they nails and toes, ‘That’s what women do’/ Playing gay so ya’ll support em,’ they pimpin’ you/ So really ya’ll get played for change, supporting people who don’t even know your pain,” he raps in the video.

His lyrics delve into sensitive topics such as gender affirmation surgery and transgender women participating in competitive sports.

Although the Baton Rouge native has come under fire for his previous remarks, he doubled down on the new single, “Russia.” The song sees Boosie call out rappers for “playing gay,” claiming any male rapper painting their nails or wearing purses is pandering to the LGBTQ community.  

On Wednesday evening (June 19), while Hip-Hop heads were engrossed in K.

Dot’s epic LA concert, Boosie took to X (Twitter) to preview his new single, “Russia.”  

“Rappers paint their nails and toes, that’s what women do,” Boosie raps. The change in title suggests an attempt to be more inclusive, though it remains unclear if this helped mitigate any backlash. Others, however, take to social media to express their disappointment and frustration, calling for Boosie to educate himself on LGBTQIA+ issues or to simply keep quiet.

The discourse varies from platform to platform, with Twitter being a notable hotspot for this debate.

This man deals with millions of dollars for me. While some see it as him being consistent with his previously stated views, others feel that it is an unwelcome continuation of harmful rhetoric. “GOOD ACTING BUT WHOEVER WROTE THE SCRIPT IS PUSHING THE NARRATIVE HARD AS A PARENT I WILL NOT LET MY LITTLE GIRL WATCH THIS FILM.”

In September 2023, Boosie revealed that he turned down performing at a LGBTQIA+ event.

I got gays in my family (Facts)
Lot of people feel my pain, I'm vouched for
'Cause we believe in traditional households
Adam and Eve, so Adam and Steve and Eve and Erica

Don't fix your heart (I ain't got nothin' against you), to hate me (I have no problem with you at all)
'Cause I won't fix my heart to hate you (I just don't agree what they pushin' on these youngins)
Just don't fix your heart (Fix your heart to hate me), to hate me ('Cause I ain't got no hate for you at all)
'Cause I won't fix my heart to hate you
Don't fix your heart

Rappers paintin' they nails and toes, that's what women do (What women do)
Playin' gay so y'all support 'em, they pimpin' you
So really, y'all gettin' played for change
Supportin' people who don't even know your pain, tell 'em kiss a man
They capitalizing off the power y'all got
Slap 'em on they ass, see if they fags since they gay chasin'
Them the ones y'all should be mad at
They really owe y'all a percentage of they ASCAP
How can a real woman lay up in the bed with a man who got nails like her?
Wear a fuckin' purse like her
But not bleedin' on the first like her (Sad, man)

Don't fix your heart (Don't be mad at me), to hate me (Them the ones y'all should be mad at)
'Cause I won't fix my heart to hate you (They capitalizin' off y'all lifestyle)
Just don't fix your heart (You know what you tell 'em?), to hate me (Bring they boyfriend to the awards and kiss 'em)
'Cause I won't fix my heart to hate you (Since they wan' act gay)
Don't fix your heart

I just believe in traditional households
I'm a Southern Baptist
My grandfather was a preacher
We was taught different
Just taught through the Bible
If I offended you, that mean the truth hurt
I just keep it real and real is rare
Don't fix your heart to hate me 'cause
I don't hate y'all
