Boosie Badazz slams Gabrielle Union over viral clip implying he’s in the closet
Gabrielle Union slammed Boosie Badazz after he criticized her trans stepdaughter, Zaya, in 2021 — and now the rapper has belatedly responded.
Badazz asked Union to “leave [him] alone” in a lengthy Twitter rant over the weekend as the actress’ throwback interview went viral.
“How dare you challenge a ghetto heros manhood,” the 40-year-old tweeted Sunday. “U wrong SMH I don’t have time for this, Im tryin to have peace n my life n stay alive.”
Badazz went on to allege that Union’s husband, Dwyane Wade, “love[s] d–k,” adding, “Hope you don’t think black couples look at yall like a power couple they don’t!! … Go bang him with that dildo and wait on a script u lil white girl.”
Page Six has reached out to the couple’s reps for comment.
While speaking to Jemele Hill in November 2021, Union sarcastically apologized to Badazz since her family has been doing “good” lately.
The “Bring It On” star went on to imply that the hip-hop star was in the closet, saying, “He’s so preoccupied. It’s almost like, ‘Thou doth protest too much, little Booz.
“You got a lot of d–k on your mind,” Union, 50, continued at the time. “Let’s throw that out there.”
When Hill, 46, replied, “It’s like Zaya and Lil Nas X live in his head,” Union agreed.
“Rent-free,” the “Love & Basketball” star said. “Sir, is there something you want to just go ahead and tell us? This is a safe space. We can be your sanctuary.”
As the old interview clip made the rounds on social media this week, fans chimed in.
“He’s attacked her daughter on numerous occasions. He needs to stop!” one Twitter user wrote.
Another added, “I feel Gabrielle is out of line here. I think Wade should be getting at @boosieofficial only.”
Union’s clapback at Badazz came after he criticized Wade, 40, in 2020 for “going too f–king far” by supporting his daughter.
Badazz tweeted that Wade should “stop dressing” Zaya “like a woman,” misgendering the teenager multiple times in his social media upload.
Zaya publicly came out in February 2020, with her dad sharing the news during an “Ellen DeGeneres Show” appearance.
In August, Wade petitioned to change Zaya’s name and gender — which the retired athlete’s ex-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, has attempted to block.
The former Miami Heat player defended his legal efforts last month, calling Funches’ filing “nonsensical.”
Wade wrote, “While it certainly would have been preferable for Zaya’s mother to be supportive of this important part of Zaya’s journey, Zaya should not be forced to put her life on hold while she waits for Siohvaughn to acknowledge and accept her truth.”
When the Olympian initially filed for the changes, he noted that he has “full authority” to proceed without his ex’s consent as he obtained custody in 2011.
