In a candid interview with Vlad TV, rapper Maino weighed in on the heated debate sparked by Boosie Badazz’s list of "no PC" (protective custody) rappers, which also included Young Thug and NBA YoungBoy. The discussion revolved around the stigma of going to protective custody in prison—a choice often viewed as voluntary or involuntary for safety reasons. Boosie criticized those who check into PC voluntarily, labeling it a sign of cowardice.
Maino agreed, explaining that if a rapper portrays a tough persona on the streets—armed and fearless—but opts for PC in prison where no weapons exist, they’re essentially hiding and not showing true strength. “If you’re not willing to stand on your manhood in prison the same way you do outside, you’re a coward,” Maino stated. The conversation highlighted ongoing tensions about authenticity and toughness within hip-hop culture and prison narratives.
