Boosie Badazz’s openly gay tour manager requested a Christmas gift symbolizing the LGBTQ community – and the rapper delivered with a bracelet adorned with rainbow diamonds.
In an Instagram post, Jay Cooper displayed the present and captioned it: “Boosie inquired about my Christmas wish, and I requested something symbolizing the LGBTQ community… This is what was given to me. #ChristmasWithPride #Diamondsare4Ever #LGBTQLove”
Boosie had earlier pointed to Jay as evidence that he isn’t homophobic after making some contentious remarks about LGBTQ+ individuals, stating in an Instagram clip: “This is my tour manager, he manages a lot of business, that’s Jay Cooper.” He goes to get the money right there. People don’t realize, Jay, that I have no issues with gay individuals or anything similar. You are homosexual. You earn fifty percent of my income!
“I am simply misinterpreted at times.” At times, I simply express it incorrectly. [LGBTQ+ individuals] are often misinterpreted. I have family who are gay, and honestly, gay individuals tend to have kinder hearts than us ordinary people.
In October, Boosie Badazz’s daughter Poison Ivi confronted her dad for condemning her sexuality, even though there was lesbian action occurring at one of his topless pool gatherings.
During an appearance on The Danza Project, Poison (whose real name is Iviona Hatch) discussed Boosie’s criticisms of her sexual orientation and labeled him a hypocrite.
“He says he doesn’t want my girlfriend to be around, but he doesn’t mention that she is here.” And whenever she’s present, he’s never going to approach me and say, ‘Take her back home.’ “She stated that he never mentioned it.”
“One more point is that if he had come to me and said, ‘I care about you, I value you, but I simply don’t want you to bring your girlfriend to my home,’ I would have respected his wishes.” But [he] never said anything.
“I didn’t realize there was an issue until he appeared on Caresha Please.” We just attended your topless pool party where girls were having oral sex with each other! “But I’m polluted?”
Poison Ivi was referring to recent remarks by Boosie Badazz on Yung Miami’s Caresha Please show, where he disclosed that he disallowed his daughter from inviting her girlfriend to his house due to concerns she might “contaminate” his other kids.
“She still can’t involve her situation in our home […] as I don’t want it to affect her other six or seven sisters who admire her,” he stated.
“I desire for them to raise these grandchildren correctly.” If I desire grandchildren in the proper manner, that’s what I’ll uphold. If I don’t want my other little girl to see that and ask, ‘What is that, daddy?’ To someone she admires? “It’s not going to come back to my [house].”
He remarked: “My grandfather wouldn’t allow it, my father wouldn’t allow it, and I wouldn’t allow it.” I simply wish that the person beneath me, when they grow up, won’t allow it since it contradicts our family’s beliefs.
