Boosie Badazz is still arguing he's not homophobic. He explained his reasoning for his bad reputation with the LGBTQ+ during a new interview with Cam Newton on his show, 4th & 1. The rapper says his main issue stems from supporting LGBTQ+ youth.
“I just never agreed [with] what they was pushing on the younger generation, and I spoke on that,” he told Newton. “And I spoke about a couple more situations that made a lot of people turn on me: the Dwyane Wade situation. But I have gays in my family. How can I hate a gay person? My assistant, who brings in millions of dollars to me, is gay. And I just got—I want that to get off my status. I’m not like that.”
