Rapper Boosie recently discussed why he doesn’t like the recent balaclava or Pooh Shiesty mask trend.
He also says it’s a fashion trend he tells his son not to participate in.
Boosie shared a video of himself talking to his son about the mask and said the mask is a safety issue. According the 41-year-old father, the masks are typically associated with violence and could cause someone or something to react a certain way, Complex reported.
“Why don’t you take that Pooh Shiesty mask off,” Boosie said in the video. “You done had it on about two days. You out here in the mountains, a bear going to think you something else, bear going to bite your fucking finger off.”
At some point, his son told her that he was going to wear a Nike ski mask, “Man I don’t give a fuck, it’s called a Pooh Shiesty man, it ain’t no Nike man….I don’t be on your trail. I’m trying to better you, bro. What if you jump out the car with somebody with that on? ‘Cause every time somebody walk by me with that on I be watching them, bro.”
For Boosie, the balaclavas isn’t a fashion statement for him, he says he’s seen them worn by peoplewho wanted to conceal their identity while committing crimes.
“That’s never going to be a fashion [trend] to me, bro,” Boosie said. “It’s dangerous, I don’t want my son wearing Pooh Shiestys. Real shit bro…I don’t want nothing to happen to you.”
Rapper Pooh Shiesty helped Balaclava get the name Pooh Shiesty mask name because he often wore them during his performances and music videos.
