Marlon Wayans comes to rapper Boosie’s defense after a video of him claiming he wouldn’t want his lesbian daughter around his other children because he fears she will “contaminate” them. Iviona Hatch, Boosie’s daughter came out as lesbian, however, her father is not supportive of her decision. He claims her daughter should not bring her girlfriend around the family. Boosie has countlessly been accused of using homophobic and transphobic language.
Marlon Wayans doesn’t believe Boosie is a “monster” and defends him amidst all the backlash he had received. Wayans added, “That man is [a] father that provides. I believe him, his daughter, and God will figure this out.” Wayans has become a huge supporter of the LGBT+ community since his eldest child, Kai, came out as transgender. He continued: “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.”
Hatch caught wind of the news, and jumped online to share her feelings: “I just saw that he recently did an interview with Caresha and he used the word ‘contaminate’ and put my siblings in it at that. If you know me, I love and respect my siblings with everything in me. And they respect me and love me with everything in them.” She added, “When you getting on they nerves, I’m who they call.”
Iviona continued: “Most of my sibling are teenagers — teenagers that you don’t want to see grow up.” Hatch, also shared the moment she came out to her father and his unpleasant response. “The incident that happened was in Jamaica…when you called me a gay b-word. So if the world really knew the hurtful things you told me before and I forgave you, you wouldn’t even understand.” Boosie went ahead to share a photo of his daughter, captioning it, “Never meant to hurt you,” he wrote . “Daddy bby,” he added. In another post, he dismissed the backlash: “Yall won’t make me look like a bad father,” he wrote. “I love my kids I’m a good father.”
