The head of Instagram appeared on The Breakfast Club Tuesday, and Boosie Badazz’s Instagram ban came up during the interview. Adam Mosseri explained that the ban stemmed from Boosie’s repeated violation of the platform’s nudity policy.
But Boosie responded, and he believes it’s for an entirely different reason. The rapper believes his Instagram ban is the result of racism.
“How the hell my Instagram was took cause of nudity? It was took cause of f*cking racism. The girl who I posted on my piano, she had emojis over everything,” Boosie aggressively shouts into the camera. “You took my Instagram and you took her Instagram. You gave her her Instagram back in three, four days but you took my Instagram. Tell the truth. Tell Charlamagne Tha God the truth. That’s the f*cking truth. The girl I posted on my piano, she had emojis over all her body parts, you took both of our Instagrams, you gave her her Instagram back, you never gave me mine back. Tell the truth.”
Boosie followed up his rant with a calmer video, pleading to Mosseri to restore his page.
“Adam Mosseri, can you give me my page back,” Boosie pleaded. “Y’all gave her her page back, can you give me my page back? Before that, my page was never taken away from me. You done gave everybody they page back, give me another chance. Give me my official Boosie page back with my 10.5 million followers so I can help feed my family some more. Do y’all think about the hurt that y’all cause people’s families when y’all take they page? And you give somebody else’s page who don’t have no followers back. You should give me my page back. The community wants to see me, man. Just like y’all wanna see all the people y’all love, the community wanna see me, man.”
