Before I get into this, I’d just like to specify that the first part of this headline should be sung in the tune of Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack’s rendition of “Young, Gifted & Black.”
Now that that’s cleared up, let’s get into the idiocy that occurred during Monday’s appearance by Boosie Badazz on The Breakfast Club, shall we?

Per Complex, the “Wipe Me Down” rapper appeared on the frequently controversial talk show in an attempt to “clarify” previous comments he made about Lil Nas X. For context: after wrongly interpreting one of Lil Nas X’s tweets where he jokingly said he and Jack Harlow would perform “Industry Baby” naked onstage at the VMAs “for charity,” Badazz hurled a handful of homophobic slurs his way on Instagram Live—including calling the “Old Town Road” rapper a “f*ggot,” and a “disrespectful motherfucker.” In a separate video, Boosie also threatened to beat up Lil Nas X if he were to actually go through with the performance. Repulsive, right?
But because The Breakfast Club is a messy bitch and loves having hella problematic people (and by “hella problematic,’’ I mean PROBLEMATIC AF), on in faux attempt to “cLeaR the AiR,” they offered Boosie the chance to come on their platform to further explain himself spread his ignorance.
“I just be feeling like sometimes, I gotta speak up because as far as straight people— you don’t have an opinion no more on sexuality,” Boosie begrudgingly began. “Everything is harm. If you say ‘I’m straight, I like women,’ it’s vulgar.” Co-hosts Charlagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee all objected, with Charlamagne pointing out the fact that rappers have been boasting and bragging explicitly for years about sleeping with women. Boosie then countered with the fact that because it’s a different day and age, things that used to be okay aren’t okay now and that all of that is the result of a larger agenda at play. (Insert rolling eye emoji here.)
After referencing da backlash that’s been handed to DaBaby following his comments at Rolling Loud, Boosie continued:
‘I feel they’re attacking our children. You make everybody support this—who loves these rappers? The kids! You make every rapper go with it. If every rapper go with it, then you grab that whole generation. I know I loved every rapper when I was little. I loved every rapper, I tried to copy what they did. And I just feel like it’s a new day now and they’re pushing it on our younger generation.”
