Boosie Badazz is often willing to speak his mind on all sorts of topics, but he doesn’t want to publicly say anything about Tory Lanez allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion. In a livestreaming interview with The Shade Room, the outspoken rapper refused to offer his take on the situation despite being prodded for an answer.
“I don’t wanna get in that ’cause I don’t wanna say the wrong thing,” he said. “I don’t wanna say the wrong thing because I fuck with Tory and I fuck with Meg. I need me a Meg verse now. I’m not finna say shit!”
One of the interviewers, Buzy Baker, mentioned how women have largely been vocal about the incident while many men in the industry have been noticeably silent. Boosie responded by explaining why he declined to comment.
“I don’t wanna be the first to talk about it,” he said. “I don’t wanna talk about it because I’ma be in the wedge. They gon’ take this and they gon’ flip it on me. And they gonna make it look like a took a side. So like my mama say, I need to shut up on this one.”
Although Boosie was concerned about how his opinion would be perceived, his unwillingness to answer didn’t prevent him from facing criticism. Some social media users gave him credit for keeping his mouth shut, but others were outraged by the silence in juxtaposition to his past rants about topics such as Dwyane Wade’s transgender daughter.
Boosie’s attempt to avoid controversy or pick a side was in stark to his longtime collaborator Bun B’s approach. The UGK legend pulled no punches when addressing what went down between Megan and Lanez via Instagram.
“Tory Lanez did some whore shit, period,” Bun said in a video. “Yeah, I know Tory, I know his manager and all them, fuck all that though. Fuck all that. If the man on drugs, get him some goddamn rehab. If the man got mental health issues, get him some therapy. But you not gon’ sit here and shoot this girl and we not gon’ say nothing.”

The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating Lanez for a shooting that left Megan injured in July. After weeks of reports and speculation, she confirmed the Canadian rapper/singer was the triggerman on August 20.

Yall call him ignorant every time he opens his mouth but then youre mad that hes keeping his mouth shut? Niggas cant win with these birds, just do you
Boosie was wise in avoiding the controversy. The social media commentators attacking him have never been his fans to begin with. They’re simply keyboard warriors wanting him to take the bait so that they could use him as a pawn to stir up public emotion through the media like he said. People are knowingly doing this in a bid influence the course of justice for Megan and Tory’s pending criminal case before the courts. It’s not surprising that they are bringing up the Dwayne Wade situation even though it’s completely unrelated. These are wolves in sheep’s skin. Salut to Boosie for being honest, diligent and fair in his approach however unpopular it may be.
Boosie opens his mouth about everything and isn’t afraid to speak his mind on topics. You think he’s afraid of some Twitter trolls? STOP IT. It’s embarrassing that you took the time to think that conspiracy out. Megan already outed Tory and what was done to Megan was wrong. But Boosie don’t want to offend his boy and got the balls to ask for a feature after not defending Megan.
Make of it what you will. Boosie has placed his faith in due process. He did right by himself and all parties involved. It was his choice to leave room for the issue to be resolved through the proper channels and there’s nothing wrong with that.
So Boozie can sit here and lambast companies like Gucci stating that they hate black people (probably true) but won’t stand up for a black woman who experienced an unwarranted incident of gun violence (presumably domestic violence if they were involved with one another previously). That’s weak.
Why does anybody need to chime in on this incident? Let the people involved handle it themselves.
This is a good nocall Boosie! No one should really speak on this especially yet – whole story just doesn’t add up at all
what the hell is this csi miami.
You damned if you do and damned if you don’t…these new age social media keyboard warriors just love to be mad at something..they are like energy parasites fiending for any lil bit of gossip they can inject in their toxic brains …especially women with their whole “tea sipping” gossip culture…online Trolling should be catergorized as a mental illness these days
Boosie weak AF. Shook to say it’s wrong to shoot an unarmed woman walking away. Or prolly, he thinks it’s fine. Since he paid a hooker to give his underage sons n nephews oral s3x. N I expect he watched too
NO ONE SHOULD BE SPEAKING ON THIS SHIT CAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.. just an observation.
Like tory ppls everyone need to stfu about this situation cuz it can also affect meghan n her camp esp if the gun was theirs n not tory..if a bitch or nigga bring a gun and i happen to get the gun ehile some weird shit is happening i would kill bothof tjose bitch or whoever tbe fuck is involved. Cuz if it comes out that the gun was hers nvthey bought the gun then he should have shot n killed everyone in that fucking car once he got tbe gun from them fuck that..
You corny mfers are going to make me wish he shot her in the fucking face!! Stfu until we know more to this retarded n weird sounding ass story!
