Rapper Boosie Badazz has been criticized for revealing he walked out of the film The Color Purple because he didn't want his daughters to see the film's lesbian love story.
The 41-year-old musician sparked outrage on social media when he slammed the musical adaptation of Alice Walker's 1982 novel, starring Taraji P. Henson and Fantasia Barrino, saying, “I won't let my little girl watch this movie.”
In the book, protagonist Celie (played by Barrino in the new film) begins a same-sex romance with the glamorous Shug Avery (played by Henson) – and in the new film the pair share more than a kiss as their love affair plays out . on screen.
Boosie, who has a prolific history of making anti-LGBTQIA+ comments, wrote: 'I had to leave this movie ([and] two other older couples also walked away) because I had my little girls with me.
'It looked like one [rainbow] love story! Good acting, but whoever wrote the script pushes the story hard. As a parent, I will not let my little girl see this movie.”

It is not known which daughters he had with him – he shares eight children with six different women and last year his daughter Poison Ivi – born Iviona Hatch – 21, came out as gay.
One follower wrote: 'You've clearly never seen the first one either AND you have a gay daughter. This tweet all over the place', while a second typed: 'Boosie, no one cares*** if you walk away. Seriously, no one.”
Another wrote: 'Boosie is so stupid. I'm ashamed that I'm from the same town as him, while another wrote: For Boosie, the domestic violence, underage marriage, and assault and r*** are fine, but it's the kissing women that made him do it to walk away. That all happened before they kissed.”
One fan wrote, “Boosie continues to prove that you don't have to be smart or educated to be successful because the original book and movie are a black gay love story! Don't be a loser!'
April Reign, who founded the #OscarsSoWhite campaign in 2015, wrote: “So y'all are even more upset that Ms. Celie and Shug Avery were exploring their sexuality but didn't draw the line when they were confronted by her at age 14 stepfather was abused and had his children? This really shows me why you guys still let that 'fresh' uncle come to the family reunion, but throw your gay kids out on the street!;
Others dragged Boosie for being a hypocrite for releasing the 2015 song Do The Most, with lyrics about “two girls kissing in the backseat” and “girls who like girls who attract me.”
Last year, his daughter Poison Ivi – born Iviona Hatch – came out as gay – with Boosie publicly expressing that her sexuality would not be accepted.
He told VladTV in February 2023, “But Ivi has a… our family is a true Southern Baptist family. So Ivi has to respect her family and everything she does. You know, if she comes out at this age, that's when you have to know what you want.”

“Even if it's not… it's not accepted because I don't want anyone in my family to think it's okay.
“But what she does, we're not…we're going to love her to death.” We will love her to death, but at the same time, it has never been that way for our family. It was never accepted, our preacher, grandfather, grandmother preacher.”
