Rapper Boosie BadAzz is facing backlash after defending Sean "Diddy" Combs, who has been indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and kidnapping.

Boosie, known for his controversial views, posted on X (formerly Twitter), claiming Diddy was being targeted for behavior common among entertainers. In his post, Boosie stated that "flying women out for threesomes" was a standard practice in the entertainment industry and questioned whether women who willingly participated should be labeled as prostitutes.

The post sparked immediate criticism from users on X, with many calling Boosie’s remarks insensitive and uninformed. 

One user commented, "You might want to wait until they reveal what they have before you speak on the situation," while another criticized him for not reading the indictment or understanding the charges.

Boosie BadAzz, born Torence Ivy Hatch Jr., has a history of legal issues, including drug and gun charges, as well as a controversial past involving homophobic and transphobic remarks. He was previously sentenced to prison but was released in 2014 after serving five years.
