Rapper won’t perform for LGBTQ+ people because he’s afraid of men’s “lustful eyes” & “nipples out”

Rapper Yung Joc says he would turn down $250,000 if it meant having to perform in front of an LGBTQ+ audience because he’s afraid of gay men looking at him sexually while wearing lipstick.

During a recent interview with VladTV, the former Love & Hip-Hop star was asked to comment on rapper Boosie Badazz’s claim that he had turned down a quarter of a million dollars to perform at an LGBTQ+ event.

“Me having threesomes doesn’t mean I support gay marriages.”

“Let’s be clear here,” Yung Joc began. “If you’ve never had a quarter of a million dollars then this seems hard to believe. If you don’t understand what a quarter of a million dollars really looks like in today’s society, then it would be hard for you to believe. If you understand the foundation of not being bought, then it’s not hard to believe. So, we’re dealing with somebody who’s seen $250,000. He’s seen that hella times over. That’s nothing bro.”

He went on to ramble about the lottery before seeming to segue back to the LGBTQ+ community, echoing anti-LGBTQ+ “groomer” rhetoric.

“You can’t buy me because I already don’t agree with it,” Yung Joc said. “I’m standing strong and firm on this: I don’t believe in that s**t. If you choose to do that, that’s you. Just don’t project it to my kids. Don’t project it to the youth. Let these kids get a chance to become who they are before you pushing this lifestyle on them.”

The rapper and radio personality said that while he has never been offered $250,000 to play a show, he likely wouldn’t accept that amount to perform for an LGBTQ+ crowd.

“I may not do it either,” he said. “It’s not that I have nothing against the LGBTQ people. But I just may not understand. I may not be in the know enough to feel comfortable enough to do this. Because I don’t want to start doing that. Maybe I don’t want to be comfortable with this lifestyle. Is that OK? Is that OK to say?”

“I may not be comfortable rapping this song, and this man is looking at me with lustful eyes with his nipples out, with lipstick on rapping my lyrics to me,” he added. “It may just not be enough money for you, for what you believe in, your outlook on it, your thought process on how it could tarnish you and your brand. Because this is something you say, oh, you don’t support, but then you’re willing to go get their money. Makes you a hypocrite, and that could be something big to Boosie, you know what I’m saying?”

Boosie Badazz has been criticized for his anti-LGBTQ+ comments in interviews and on social media, which have included dust-ups with Lil Nas X and a transphobic rant criticizing Dwyane Wade for supporting his transgender daughter. In an interview with The Danza Project last month, the rapper claimed that he had “been offered a quarter-million to go perform at an [LGBTQ] community event.”

“I told them I have nothing against it at all. But that’s not what I push and that’s not what I believe in,” he explained.

“A lot of people get that [misunderstood]…They act like I hate them,” he continued. “No. My assistant is gay. This man deals with millions of dollars for me. I trust gay people more than regular people.”

Boosie noted that his comments about Wade’s daughter had gotten him “in a hole with that community.”

“I shoulda said it in a better way or something like that,” he said. “I don’t have no problem with nothin’ nobody do. I just don’t agree with it.”
