Boosie Badazz has received a history lesson from Snoop Dogg after admitting he’s never actually known the significance behind the Fourth of July.
As his fellow Americans celebrated Independence Day on Tuesday (July 4), the Baton Rouge rapper posted a video on Instagram confessing to his ignorance and asking his followers to enlighten him about the complicated racial history behind the annual holiday, which had only recently been brought to his attention.
“Aye, I need somebody to educate me on July 4th,” Boosie said while getting a haircut in time for his Fourth of July festivities. “Everybody in my DM saying I should not celebrate Fourth of July if I love my Black people. But I don’t really know the meaning of Fourth of July. I always thought it was some war shit.
“I need to be educated on the Fourth of July, bro. Because I’ve been celebrating the Fourth of July in the hood with fireworks since I was born. If I’m celebrating some wrong shit, I need to be educated.”
He continued: “So hit my DM with a paragraph letting me know what’s going on because I’m lost. I am, I’m lost like a muthafucka. I got all my people who I love, my Black people, they on my ass. I don’t fucking know!”
In his caption, he wrote: “HOW IM A [SELL] OUT? I ACTUALLY DONT KNOW‼️ ALL I KNOW IS FIREWORKS.”
Boosie Badazz’s followers answered the call and flocked to his comments section to school him on the meaning behind the Fourth of July. Among them was Snoop Dogg, who gave the “Wipe Me Down” rhymer a brief history lesson while urging him to instead celebrate Juneteenth, the annual June holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans.
“It’s ya oppresses freedom celebration we weren’t free yet and that’s why call me Nefew I’ll game u up,” Snoop wrote, before adding: “Juneteenth is our holiday of last free slaves.”
Another user offered a more detailed breakdown, writing: “4th of July was created in 1776 to celebrate America’s ‘Freedom’ from Great Britain .. But we (black people) in America, wasn’t free until 1863 .. So basically, America celebrated their freedom right in our ancestors faces, while they still had them chained & enslaved .. So fuck we celebrating for?”
However, others pushed back against the Fourth of July backlash, urging Boosie to simply enjoy the festivities with his family.
“It never have been for us but honestly all of these holidays are evil!” one person argued. “You’re with family and enjoying them that’s all that matters! Everything in this world is deeply rooted with racism so the best thing to do is just enjoy your family ain’t nothing wrong with that at all!”
The Badazz Music Syndicate boss did just that as he later posted photos and videos of his Fourth of July party at his home, which featured family, friends, food, flowing alcohol and a customary fireworks display.
I always thought a black man saved the earth from aliens that day?
There’s a lot of things boosie don’t know…like how to discreetly possess an illegal firearm as a convicted felon
If you leave it to us black people , no holiday would be celebrated except for “Juneteenth”..stupidity at its finest smh it’s always about “we” “slaves” stop it
At some point we have to stop this shit! It’s not a flex to show blatant ignorance on the Internet. And not everything is a threat to Black people. We need to start making strides and move forward. Stop always complaining that “You ain’t Black if…” THAT’S BULLSHIT! And Boosey is a 50-year-old man who relishes in knowing less than the average 5th grader. Dude is an internet troll who has 0 redeeming qualities.
Well said.
i would fact check anything snoop lying says
Fuck all that. Ppl hate to see you have a good time. I’m cookin out 4th of July, Juneteenth, Cinco de mayo… idgaf
Cant add comment man
p
CANT ADD FKUN COMMENT!
Freaking idiots. And no, it wasn’t about gaining freedom really. It was more about the formation of a new nation, free from British control. July 4th is celebrating the creation of America, aka, declaration of independence. If black ppl don’t like or support that, then they should move to Britain lmao. And a bit of context. The FIRST documented slave owner in America was a black man.lpok him up. Free black people existed in USA back then too. Slaves purchased from Africans in Africa sold them to Europeans, Arabs, etc. Black people who weren’t sold into slavery weren’t slaves in USA. I always found it wild how everyone blames white Europeans for slavery in America, but nobody every points the finger and the people breeding and selling slaves to the entire world. It’s like this. I have a serious issue with people buying child prostitutes. But I have an even bigger problem with the people trafficking and selling those kids into sex rings. Suppliers and dealers are worse than buyers as for as crimes go I’d say.
Or he could just Google it.
or he could sit on a spiked dildo
This mega garbage site revolves around any and everything Boosie Wackazz says. Boosie says water isn’t wet let’s make it into an article and call it “journalism” Smh. Boosie Wackazz must own this garbage site it ain’t even worth a bag of doritos anyway.
Snoop is an idiot. Enslaved Africans who fought for Washington in the revolutionary War were paid and granted their freedom. It was how America came to be all together. A story of how we got out from under the kings rule.
What? Where did you learn that lie from? Research your ancestors history.
I will NEVER UNDERSTAND how there are so many people who are on their phones, social media all day long but can’t take a few minutes to research and learn something. A simple GOOGLE search and read for yourself, its unreal how dumb people can be even with a smart phone.
💯% Facts! Very well said. Best comment here.
Google is only reporting what someone programmed it to report. So, as far as slavery goes, blacks are still enslaved to a certain extent. You have a right to your opinion and so do I. But how many white people are having to school their children when they leave home? Put both hands on the steering wheel, don’t reach for anything. Automatically if Karen calls the cops, you’re guilty. I could go on and on but I know you get the point. I’m afraid for my children and grandchildren no matter where they are.
these 2 drop outs are saying don’t celebrate the 4th? my people WEREN’T even in the US in 1776. shiiiit they weren’t even here in 1930. im for damn sure still celebrating our great nation. STOP acting like the past controls your future. some of your damn grandparents didnt know slavery. we are one nation. i bet, go to russia mfs. go see how THEY treat you and you will understand american greatness.
Black people love talking about being black lol it’s so funny. Movies, stand up comedy, music, even in normal conversation, just always mentioning race and reminding themselves and everybody else that they’re black. Constantly alienating themselves. Just make a normal movie lol I’ve even seen black people talk about this. Like “another slave movie? really?” Come up with a new black superhero if you want. Make a fun action movie with one white dude, who cares? Do one stand up show without mentioning race… bet you can’t do it. Stop reminding yourself and everybody else about how you’re black. We don’t care. Yes there’s police brutality and racism. No doubt, but seeing you guys doing all of this just makes you guys look dumb. Reminds me of that Morgan Freeman interview.
💩Go flush yourself down the toilet! Never to be seen or heard from again!💩
