“She still can’t bring her situation to our house. My daughter is grown—Because I don’t want it to contaminate her others [siblings],” he said. “It’s a generation we’re raising, and I don’t want her to get too contaminated for her other six or seven sisters who look up to her. I want them to bring me grandchildren…”
His comments then caused the audience to shared a response and then he doubled down on his statement. “If I don’t want my other little girl to look at daddy and say, ‘What’s that daddy?’ to somebody she looks up to? It’s not gonna come around. My grandfather didn’t let it, my daddy didn’t let it, and I didn’t let it.”
Comedian Marlon Wayans has firsthand experience with raising an LGBTQ+ child, as his son, Kai, is transgender. Wayans has candidly shared his journey of understanding and embracing this important aspect of his life. Recently, Wayans expressed his thoughts on social media platform X regarding Boosie’s remarks, suggesting that the rapper deserves “time and grace” to come around.
“U can’t paint @BOOSIEOFFICIAL as a monster. That man is father that provides. I believe him, his daughter and God will figure this out.” Wayans wrote, adding that it also took him “a second” to understand his son.
“Give their family grace and time. This is growing pain. She know her daddy loves her. That’s all that matters. He may come around he may not. But that’s on him and her,” he continued.
After Marlon spoke out about the topic some fans took it as if he was defending Boosie but according to the comedian he wasn’t coming to the rapper’s defense he was just attempting to encourage people to mind their business.
“That’s private between him and his daughter and they don’t need your fuel and they don’t need my fuel but I’m telling you when you are ironing out your personal problems that is between him and his daughter and everybody got something to say and that’s what I don’t like about social media. That man is dealing with his child and they need to express themselves and hold space. We live in a society where we’re unforgiving and fuel to fire and watch it burn and applaud. Let that man hold space it takes him time. When it first happened to me it took me time.”
