The 39-year-old defended his son's presence and said he didn't find it objectionable for his son to participate in the X-rated event.
On March 16, Boosie hosted the event, described on his website as a “live, uncensored and uncut interactive experience.” Despite it being an exclusive event for those who pay, the rapper recorded parts of it on his Instagram.
In a recorded Instagram live session, netizens saw the Period singer and his 18-year-old son looking at female genitals with a magnifying glass. Boosie was heard saying, “look at the p**sy, son."
The teenager was seen getting inappropriately close to several half-naked women.

The clip left the internet furious and many stated that the rapper was a hypocrite after he attacked fellow singer Lil Nas X for depicting his sexuality in his work. Followers could not help but notice that the singer found it acceptable to display one’s sexuality on social media only if it is heterosexual.
Netizens took to Twitter, attempting to make light of the situation. Many joked about the rapper potentially being banned from the social media platform. A few tweets read:
