Boosie Badazz is under fire following his homophobic rant against fellow rapper Lil Nas X. The hip-hop artist relentlessly attacked the Industry Baby singer, leading to Nas' father, Robert Stafford, stepping in.

On Saturday, Boosie took to Twitter, urging the Grammy-winning artist to take his own life. He wrote:

"STOP TROLLING ME F----- LOL!! IF YOU #commitsuicide YOU WOULD DO THIS WORLD A HUGE FAVOR NOBODY WANTS U HERE."

Twitter stepped in and took down his post for violating the company's guidelines regarding hate speech.

The online feud began when Lil Nas X recently took to Instagram, revealing that he would be collaborating with the 38-year-old rapper. Nas' announcement comes after Boosie had threatened to "drag and beat" him earlier this year.

Many Nas fans applauded his father for supporting his son:

Responding to Robert Stafford's Instagram story, Boosie took to Twitter yet again", stating:

"DONT GET MAD AT ME CAUSE YOUR SON CAME OUT LIKE THAT LOL I KNOW IT HURTS."

Neither Lil Nas X nor Robert Stafford have responded to Boosie's latest tweet.
