Boosie Badazz took his daughters to see the movie The Color Purple, but he ended up leaving the theater before the film finished because “it seemed gay.”
The Baton Rouge rapper took to Twitter on Tuesday (January 2) to explain that he walked out of the theater as he felt the Oprah-produced musical adaption was pushing an agenda that he didn’t want to expose his children to.
“I HAD TO WALK OUT THIS COLOR PURPLE MOVIE ( N TWO OTHER OLDER COUPLES WALKED OUT ALSO.),” he wrote. “BECAUSE I HAD MY LITTLE GIRLS WITH ME N IT SEEMED LIKE A [GAY] LOVE STORY.
“GOOD ACTING BUT WHOEVER WROTE THE SCRIPT IS PUSHING THE NARRATIVE HARD AS A PARENT I WILL NOT LET MY LITTLE GIRL WATCH THIS FILM.”

Fans had plenty to say about Boosie’s confession and called him out for being homophobic.
“But I’d be ok if you were in the mix of the two ladies? You’ve done way worse and said even more disrespectful things in your music than what that movie included,” one person replied. “It’s 2024, find some common sense.”
Another said: “U clearly never seen the first one either, AND u got a gay daughter. This tweet all over the place!”
It should be noted that Boosie’s daughter, Poison Ivi, previously came out as a lesbian. The rapper has said he doesn’t accept her sexual identity, but still loves her.
“Even though it won’t be accepted as far as — because I don’t want nobody in my other family to think it’s okay,” he told DJ Vlad last February. “But what she does, we’re gonna love her to death. But at the same time, our Southern family has never been that way.
“It’s never been accepted. But at the same time, she’s grown and she can do what the hell she wants. She’s old enough to know what she wants and that’s her.”
Boosie continued: “I learned of it through social media. Like you, I woke up to it… She never came to me and talked to me about relationships.”
The Color Purple is a remake of the 1985 stage musical. The 2023 adaptation features a star-studded cast including Halle Bailey, Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson, Ciara, H.E.R. and more.
The movie exploded out of the gates with a $18 million domestic box office on Christmas Day — which is the largest in over a decade, per Forbes.The Color Purple collected another $13 million over New Year’s Eve weekend.
