Video Of Lil Nas X Fan Confronting Boosie Badazz Is Reportedly Staged
A video is making the rounds on social media that purports to show a Lil Nas X fan confronting Boosie Badazz over his homophobic rant targeting the “Old Town Road” singer.
“I know you! You the rapper Lil Boosie that’s talking about my friends and my niece, my niece Lil Nas X? That’s my niece,” the man is heard confronting the Baton Rouge rapper. “B**ch, I’ll beat you up, talk sh*t now.”
Boosie responds, “Whoever the f**k you is, you better get the f**k outta my face.”
A closer look, however, suggests that the encounter was staged. A boom mic and camera crew can be seen in the footage.
See the clip below.
NBC reported that Boosie was attacked on social media in October for tweeting an anti-gay rant against Lil Nas.
“STOP TROLLING ME F----- LOL!!," the tweet said in part. "IF YOU #commitsuicide YOU WOULD DO THIS WORLD A HUGE FAVOR NOBODY WANTS U HERE."
Boosie’s tweet was in response to Lil Nas telling his Instagram fans that he planned to collaborate with Boosie on a new song.
It was just a joke in a feud between the two in which Boosie previously threatened to "drag" and "beat" Lil Nas, who came out about his sexuality in 2019 while celebrating Pride Month.
Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson confronted the embattled rapper last year in a radio interview. Tyson pressed Boosie to explain why he slammed Dwayne Wade’s daughter Zaya who came out as transgender.
"Why do you say things about people who might be a homosexual? Why do you say that about them? Tyson demanded. "Do you feel there's a possibility that you're a homosexual and by disrespecting them it furthers yourself from being a homosexual? I'm thinking you may like homosexuals."
