Boosie is suggesting that there is a queer agenda in the new musical drama The Color Purple.
A week after its nationwide debut, the rapper took to X to express his disappointment in the film.
“I HAD TO WALK OUT THIS COLOR PURPLE MOVIE ( N TWO OTHER OLDER COUPLES WALKED OUT ALSO.) BECAUSE I HAD MY LITTLE GIRLS WITH ME N IT SEEMED LIKE A [rainbow emoji] LOVE STORY!! GOOD ACTING BUT WHOEVER WROTE THE SCRIPT IS PUSHING THE NARRATIVE HARD!! AS A PARENT I WILL NOT LET MY LITTLE GIRL WATCH THIS FILM,” he tweeted.
Many users were disappointed at his comments but not surprised.
One user tweeted, “U clearly never seen the first one either, AND u got a gay daughter. This tweet all over the place.”
However, Boosie did not back down and stood firm on his opinion of the film.
He said, “WHY IF SOMEONE DOESNT AGREE WITH THE [rainbow emoji] NARRATIVE THATS BEING PUSHED WHY DO YALL SAY THAT THE PERSON WHO DOESNT ARGREE IS [rainbow emoji]. THATS BULLYING!! WE HAVE A RIGHT AS PARENTS TO SAY ITS NOT COOL FOR A 7 N 9 YEAR OLD TO WATCH THIS. WE HAVE RIGHTS AS PARENTS TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AS MUCH AS WE CAN .I HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL WITH [rainbow emoji] PEOPLE. MY GRANDAD WAS A PREACHER (SOUTHERN BAPTIST) N IM JUST TRYNA RAISE MY KIDS WITH THE SAME BELIEFS N RESPECT WE WAS RAISED WITH ITS JUST THIS WORLD WILL HAVE U N A FIGHT TO DO SO!!”
In the past, the rapper has faced backlash for his insensitive comments towards the LGBTQ+ community on several different occasions.
