Reactions to Lil Boosie's announcement about enrolling at Jackson State University
While several people appreciated the rapper for taking a step to gain further education, others mocked the decision by invoking Boosie's well-known phrases. A few tweets were also aimed at Jackson State University and Lil Boosie about his public homophobic views.
A Twitter user even expressed their concern about students from the LGBTQ+ community being attending the JSU, with the Louisiana native being there at the same time.
Previously, Boosie had made multiple homophobic comments and tweets aimed at Lil Nas X for his s*xuality. In the past, he has also had controversies with Indiana University's fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi. In January last year, the rapper faced criticism from the fraternity for sporting their sweater while not being a frat member.
