Boosie Turns Down Major Bag to Perform at LGBTQ Event

On Sept. 22, Boosie chopped it up with The Danza Project. During the sit-down, the Louisiana rapper, who has been outspoken at times of his opposition of the LGBTQ community, claimed he once turned down a $250,000 performance fee for a Pride event.

“I’m not real for money. In that case, I would just sell my soul for anything,” Boosie said at the 41:50 mark of the interview below. “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,” Boosie continued. “No. My assistant is gay. This man deals with millions of dollars for me. I trust gay people more than regular people.”
