Although Joey Bada$$ was recently recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Brooklyn-bred rhymer is saying he’s not feeling the love from the equally prestigious Disney organization.
The “Devastated” rapper took to his Instagram on Saturday (March 20) to bring attention to an incident at Disney World involving his party, which he says was 30+ deep.

According to the 26-year-old, the park wouldn’t allow his young cousin to enter without wearing a mask due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. For his part, Joey Bada$$ says the child’s disability should give him a pass, considering they already bought 30+ of them at the gate.

“Here’s Luis, Cameron, and Kaitlyn and they just turned away an autistic child at Disney World because he didn’t want to wear his mask,” Bada$$ exclaimed in the Instagram caption. “The child thinks the mask is suffocating, the child also has no idea why it is even a requirement.
