Context Behind Boosie BadAzz’s Comments and His Daughter’s Response
Boosie BadAzz made his remarks about his daughter’s sexuality during an interview on Yung Miami’s Revolt show, Caresha Please! on September 22. He expressed that his daughter’s girlfriend was not welcome in their home to avoid exposing his other children to homosexuality.
“She still can’t bring her situation to our house. My daughter is grown—Because I don’t want it to contaminate her others [siblings]. It’s a generation we’re raising, and I don’t want her to get too contaminated for her other six or seven sisters who look up to her. I want them to bring me grandchildren the right way,” Boosie remarked.
On September 27, Ivi responded to her father’s words during a heartfelt 12-minute Instagram Live session. The aspiring rapper criticized Boosie’s focus on her sexuality instead of supporting her music career, and claimed he lied about his reaction when he discovered Ivi’s sexual orientation.
Ivi recounted that Boosie learned of her being a lesbian during a family vacation in Jamaica, where he called her a “gay b***h.”She stated that despite the pain his words caused, she had forgiven him since he is her father.
“N***a, I’m your blood. I am your daughter. And me, I feel like I done been through the most with you. And every time I turn around, you bash me. It’s like you bash me. And it’s like the whole world can go against you, but Ivi won’t. Since I’ve been a little girl, I never would go against you. And I think I’m really fed up,” she expressed.
Ivi also clarified that while Boosie was not a bad father, he often took to social media instead of having meaningful conversations with his children. She emphasized her strong bond with her siblings, who love and respect her.
Following her Instagram Live session, Boosie BadAzz issued a series of posts to clarify that he never intended to hurt Ivi and refuted the online narrative that he is a bad father, remarking, “What is understood doesn’t need to be said.”
This culminated in Boosie BadAzz’s latest apology on Instagram. As of now, Poison Ivi has not publicly responded to his apologies.
