After his remarks about Lori Harvey became a trending topic for weeks, Boosie Badazz is clarifying his statements. Back in February, Boosie sat down for yet another interview with VladTV where he discussed Lori Harvey’s dating history. He made a few comments that rubbed people the wrong way when speaking about Harvey’s “body count,” adding that she shouldn’t be “goals” for women, and it’s the men who deserve credit for “running through a woman like [that].”

In a more recent interview, Boosie wanted to explain his previous thoughts. “Lotta women is mad at me but…” said Boosie. “I was just sayin’ I don’t give a damn what she does, that’s her body. I was sayin’ she a beautiful woman, that’s what I was sayin’.”

“But I was sayin’ as far as young girls, I feel that that’s not goals… And probably ’cause I was raised that way. If a girl did that in my neighborhood, where I’m from, she would be labeled as something. But you know, today is a different thing,” he continued. “It’s a different world now.”

“It’s just so crazy because the world, they say that Lori Harvey’s are the goal but the Reginae [Carters] and the Jayda [Cheaves], they stupid. They the ones who stick around with a man for years. They the idiots. It ain’t used to be like that. It used to be no pain no gain.”

It’s different. It’s a different world.” Check out Boosie explaining himself below and let us know if you agree with him.

We’ve lost a lot of rappers over the past few years including budding stars that were just coming into their own. This week, the hip-hop community is mourning the death of 20-year-old Dallas, TX rapper Lil Loaded. The young artist was the one to look out for this year, especially following his recent success. Signed to Epic Records, the rapper was gearing up for a big year ahead.

Epic Records has now issued a statement on Lil Loaded’s death, reading, “Epic Records is deeply saddened and devasted by the untimely death of rising hip-hop star, Dashawn ‘Lil Loaded’ Robertson. Our prayers and thoughts go out to his family, friends, and fans.”

There’s yet to be an announcement regarding Loaded’s official cause of death as Cedar Hill Police continue their investigation. The rapper’s attorney suggested that his passing was a result of suicide. His lawyer’s statement came after one of Loaded’s friends said that he died from suicide. 

Loaded was poised to become the next biggest rapper out of Dallas. The rapper amassed a wide fanbase from singles like, “Gang Unit” and “6locc 6a6y” which also served as the title of his 2019 mixtape. In 2020, he released his debut album, A Demon In 6lue as well as CRIPTAPE a few months later.

We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates regarding Lil Loaded’s passing.

Derek Chauvin was convicted for the murder of George Floyd in April but his sentencing is set for this month. Many are wondering what the outcome will be, especially as prosecutors hope for a harsher sentence. However, Chauvin’s lawyer Eric Nelson is working hard to have his client released on probation instead of serving any sort of jail time.

Prosecutors said Chauvin’s actions “shocked the Nation” when they filed documents to court seeking a 30 year sentence for the murder of George Floyd. “No sentence can undo Mr. Floyd’s death, and no sentence can undo the trauma Defendant’s actions have inflicted. But the sentence the Court imposes must show that no one is above the law, and no one is below it,” prosecutors wrote in court documents. “Defendant’s sentence must hold him fully accountable for his reprehensible conduct.”

Nelson requested that the judge sentences Chauvin to time served with probation, claiming the former police officer’s actions are “best described as an error made in good faith.”

“Mr. Chauvin asks the Court to look beyond its findings, to his background, his lack of criminal history, his amenability to probation, to the unusual facts of this case, and to his being a product of a ‘broken’ system,” Nelson wrote.

Chauvin has been held in custody since he was found guilty of murder and manslaughter in April.
