Boosie Badazz came to Lil Baby’s defense after the latter was put on blast for a photograph in which he is seen being hugged by Michael Rubin.
The businessman recently hosted his annual White Party and Baby was among the countless celebrities present at the event. Soon after, a picture of Rubin hugging the rapper from behind went viral, with many social media users criticizing it with homophobic remarks.

Among the trolls was 50 Cent, who posted the image and captioned it: “See this is why I don’t go to no party puffy and them at. [side eye emoji] da fu*k is going on here [facepalm emoji, sulking emoji] get the fu*k off my young [ninja emoji] WTF!”
Boosie, on the other hand, believes that the shot doesn’t entail what others are suggesting and it “just was a bad picture.”

“I ain’t finna shit on Lil Baby,” he said after someone commented about the situation while he was on Instagram Live. “I don’t give a fuck what picture he took. Ya’ll can get off my live with that Lil Baby shit, I’m letting ya’ll know. Yeah, that’s my n-gga. That man likes pussy. That man likes straight pussy.”
He added: “Say something bout Lil Baby again. Bitch, I’m trying to get back on tour with Lil Baby, bitchass, you thank I’m finna say something bout Lil Baby? Get your bitchass of my live, hoe.
Boosie has made his share of comments about queer people in the past, and his exact stance on the community remains uncertain given the range of things he’s said. The Southern rapper, who has fought accusations of homophobia in the past, recently said that he trusts gay people with his money more than “regular” people.
During an appearance on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion podcast last month, the Baton Rouge native talked about how he’s never been afraid to use his platform to speak on things that he feels is right—or wrong—and he doesn’t care what people think about it.
“Everybody who speak the truth, they try to make you seem crazy,” he said. “Anything I speak on, I feel deeply that way. Everything I speak, I stand on it. It’s just that the world took it out of context, and said that I have something against those people, when I don’t.”
He continued: “People have to understand that it’s not the same stroke for the same folk. My fuckin’ assistant manager is gay as fuck. Like, bruh. I don’t know where people get that from. He understands me. He know I don’t have any ill will towards those people. He deals with money. He deals with business. It ain’t never looked at like that. I trust gay people more than I trust regular people.”

Back in 2021, one of the people who allegedly took Boosie Badazz’s comments out of context was Lil Nas X’s father, who went in on the “Wipe Me Down” rapper over what he felt were homophobic comments towards his son.
“How the hell you’re a gangsta rapper promoting drugs, gun violence, degrading women and getting high every video talking about you’re for the kids man sit your old man looking ass down,” he wrote on Instagram at the time. “The game has past you. We real Bankhead over here. Not like the guy who claims it.”
