Boosie Badazz says that he won't be watching the new The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air show, Bel-Air. He shared his opinion on the rebooted series on Twitter, earlier this week. Boosie explained that he heard the new version of Carlton Banks does drugs, which turned him off from checking it out. The Peacock series stars Coco Jones, Olly Sholotan, Jabari Banks, and Adrian Holmes.
“IM NOT WATCHING THE NEW FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR [angry face emoji]. I JUST HEARD CARLTON SNORTIN COCAINE N WILL SLANGIN IRON [exclamation emoji] is this true?,” he wrote.

“I feel like this show is dealing with some truthfully realities. I haven’t seen Will sell drugs. He was hustling basketball games.. now Karlton hanging with white boys so yeah he doing coke!,” one fan replied. Another agreed with Boosie: "Aye Boosie hilarious slim… his thought process like mine. Definitely ain’t watch one minute of the new fresh Prince."
Bel-Air premiered on Peacock back in February 2022. The streaming platform released a second season last Thursday. The show's synopsis reads: "Set in modern-day Los Angeles, Peacock’s successful one-hour drama series Bel-Air imagines the beloved sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air through a new, dramatic take on Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air. As these two worlds collide, Will reckons with the power of second chances while navigating the conflicts, emotions, and biases of a world far different from the only one he’s ever known."
Boosie's comments on Bel-Air come after he recently revealed his reaction to learning about his daughter’s sexuality. Speaking with VladTV, Boosie explained that he's still going to be supportive of her. The comments come despite countless homophobic remarks from the rapper in the past.
“Even though it won’t be accepted as far as — because I don’t want nobody in my other family to think it’s okay,” he explained, before adding, “But what she does, we’re gonna love her to death. But at the same time, our Southern family has never been that way. It’s never been accepted, but at the same time, she’s grown and she can do what the hell she wants. She’s old enough to know what she wants and that’s her. I learned of it through social media. Like you, I woke up to it… She never came to me and talked to me about relationships.”
