Earlier this week, it was announced that Carolyn Bryant Donham had died. While the name may not mean a lot to many, she is better known as the woman who caused Emmett Till's murder in 1955. It was Bryant who claimed that the 14-year-old Till had made sexual advances toward her. This led to her husband and his friend abducting and lynching Till.
Bryant's fame grew as she famously testified on Till's advances in the subsequent murder trial. An all-white jury acquitted Roy Bryant and J.W. Millam. However, the two men later confessed to the murder in a 1956 magazine interview. Bryant's name lived on among civil rights groups as a stark example of the power wielded by white women toward people of color. Bryant died of cancer earlier this week aged 88.
Boosie Is Giving Bryant A Chicago Send-off
Among the many celebrations of Bryant's death, few stood out more than Boosie's. The outspoken rapper has been nailing the Twitter game as of late. During the NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship, he was heard dubbing freshman Flau'jae Johnson the "LSU Ice Spice". He also reacted to the death of Jerry Springer with the proclamation, "IM GOING TO @jerryspringer FUNERAL THAT WAS MY GUY WHEN IS IT". Safe to say that despite Twitter being a complete mess to use, it's worth it just for Bossie's shenanigans. But also, just a really weird day for celebrity deaths.
In response to the death of Bryant, Boosie once more took to Twitter. "DAT BITCH JUST DIED WHO MESSED OVER EMMITT TILL IM BOUT TO ROLL THIS BITCH N DA PACK LOL" read Boosie's tweet, that now has over 27,000 likes. Boosie refers to the practice of naming a joint after a deceased rival or enemy so that you can say that you "smoked" them. Boosie also has you covered if you're not a weed smoker. Last year, Boosie launched his "Black Bayou" vape cartridges, which we're sure he would view as a reasonable replacement. However, Boosie was not the only person going off about Bryant's death. Social media is full of hilarious responses to her passing.
