Boosie Badazz has been facing plenty of backlash for telling Lil Nas X to 'commit suicide' in a homophobic tirade, but he's found an unexpected ally in Big Freedia.

Lil Nas X s back-and-forth heated up this week when the Baton Rouge rapper told the Industry Baby star to commit suicidein a homophobic Twitter tirade all because Nas jokingly claimed he and Boosie have a collaboration on the way. Boosies outrageous outburst even drew Lil Nas Xs father into the spat who fired back by accusing the 38-year-old rapper of being a hypocrite. How the hell youre a gangsta rapper promoting drugs, gun violence, degrading women and getting high every video talking about youre for the kids man sit your old man looking ass down, Nas dad wrote on Instagram. The game has past you. We real Bankhead over here. Not like the guy who claims it.

He has a whole gay scene in jail where he has a lot of gay guys from Louisiana representing. When asked about Boosies loose use of the word faggot, she replied, He was upset. I mean, when people get upset, they say whatevers on their mind and on their heart. Big Freedia isnt the only artist to weigh in on the back-and-forth between Boosie Badazz and Lil Nas X. Earlier this week, Azealia Banks dragged Boosie on Instagramfor his homophobic attack, saying he gets no extra street cred for antagonizing a young black kid for who he chooses to love. Banks also had harsh words for Dave Chappelle, whos currently facing backlash from parts of the LGBTQ+ communityover his latest Netflix special The Closer. Read more
