Boosie Badazz has a documented history of opposing the LGBT community.

When not slamming television networks for allegedly “making kids gay,” he’s courted backlash for constantly announcing his disapproval of the antics of openly gay music superstar Lil Nas X (even going as far as suggesting the GRAMMY winner engage in acts of self-harm).

Having also openly criticized Dwyane Wade in the past for “allowing” his daughter, Zaya Wade, to come out as transgender, the rapper’s statements on that topic landed him on the radar of the basketball legend’s wife, actress Gabrielle Union.

The ‘Being Mary Jane’ star went viral over the weekend for a clip that saw her clap back at Badazz for the things he’s said about Zaya, even inferring the emcee may be gay himself.

Needless to say, the insinuation didn’t sit well with him. Look inside to see how he responded.

The slap heard and seen around the world is still ringing in the ears and mouths of shocked onlookers a day later.

Sunday night (March 27), shortly ahead of accepting his first Academy Award ever, legendary actor Will Smith smacked Chris Rock for delivering a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and her battle with alopecia. Though he later apologized for the incident, the damage had been done as social media ignited with debates about the appropriateness of the occurrence given the time and venue.

Among those leading the conversation are Smith and Rock’s fellow celebrities. Look inside to see what the likes of Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim, Cher, Tiffany Haddish, Lil Nas X, 50 Cent, and others had to say.

Like every other interview Boosie has done with VladTV, his most recent sit down with the video news website is filled with a goldmine of headline-grabbing quotes.

From comments about Rihanna‘s pregnancy to suggesting many of his industry friends turned on him due to his beef with Lil Nas X, Boosie (born Torrence Hatch Jr.) has had eyebrows raised and jaws dropped in response to a number of statements he’s made aboard the Vlad appearance.

Among them is his lax view about his fans using the N-word while rapping his songs.  See what he had to say inside:

Unless one has been living under a rock for the past year, the chances of having jammed to a song with that tag are sky high.

Indeed, beyond being infectious club hits, tracks such as ‘2 On’ by Tinashe, T-Pain’s ‘Up Down’ and ‘No Mediocre’ courtesy of T.I. and Iggy Azalea all have a common denominator: DJ Mustard.

Recently, That Grape Juice caught up with the super-producer whose first album ’10 Summers’ was released exclusively through Google Play and is now also available in-stores.
