This isn't the first time Boosie has spoken out about his morals when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community. During an interview with The Danza Project, Boosie revealed that he turned down $250,000 to perform at a Pride event. Boosie explained, "I'm not real for money. In that case, I would just sell my soul for anything,"
Boosie added, "I've been offered a quarter-million to go perform at an [LGBTQ] community event. Big money. I told them I have nothing against it at all. But that's not what I push and that's not what I believe in. A lot of people get that [misunderstood] because they act like I hate them. No. My assistant is gay. This man deals with millions of dollars for me. I trust gay people more than regular people."
