New year, same Boosie. Once again, the rapper is sharing what he doesn’t not like and this time it’s the film The Color Purple.
In a Tuesday morning tweet, he expressed his discomfort with the new remake of the iconic film. he he that he had to walk out of the movie theater because it seemed like a “gay love story.” Aside from that being Boosie’s primary concern, he also stated on social media that he felt uncomfortable exposing his young daughters to what he perceived as a “that. While he praised the acting, he firmly expressed his decision as a parent to prevent his children from watching the film.
He said, “ I had to walk out this color purple movie (and two other older couples walked out also.) Because I had my little girls with me and it seemed like a gay love story. Good acting but whoever wrote the script is pushing the narrative hard. As a parent I will not let my little girl watch this film.“

What Is The Color Purple About?
The film adaptation of “The Color Purple” is a beautifully moving portrayal of resilience, love, and the triumph of the human spirit. Set in the early 20th century, it follows the extraordinary journey of Celie, a young African American woman who endures unimaginable hardships and abuse.
Through the power of storytelling, the film explores themes of racism, sexism, and the search for self-identity. It showcases the transformative power of friendship, as Celie finds solace and strength in her relationships with other women, particularly her sister Nettie and the vibrant Shug Avery.
As the story unfolds, we witness Celie’s transformation from a voiceless victim to a woman who reclaims her power and finds her own voice. It is a tale of resilience, as Celie learns to love herself and embrace her own worthiness.
“The Color Purple” is a deeply emotional and thought-provoking film that celebrates the indomitable spirit of the human soul. It reminds us of the importance of love, forgiveness, and the pursuit of our own happiness, even in the face of unimaginable adversity.
However, of course with Boosie’s latest comments, it has ignited a larger conversation about the representation of LGBTQ+ relationships in media. Advocates argue that it is essential to showcase diverse narratives, including same-sex love stories, to promote inclusivity and acceptance. They argue that exposing children to different perspectives can foster empathy and understanding from an early age. Others feel differently.
Aside from that, a lot of folks on Twitter are slamming him online for basically being late to the party when it comes to the film.
One person said, “It’s not surprising to me that you didn’t read the book. It may not even surprise me that you never seen the original film.
But what I’m questioning is why y’all walked out at that moment and not during the assault scenes? Quickly.” Another said, “Hey Boosie,
As a member of 🌈 community, sorry you felt this way. But this movie has been a book and a movie made back in the 80s starring Whoopi. I would suggest seeing the first movie to understand the musical. Ik that the 🌈 isn’t your cup of tea.” A third said, “Boosie. You already have a gay child …………….. and your closet door been cracked. Relax. It’s only Day 2.”
