The Louisiana State University basketball star, who additionally moonlights as a rapper, talked about her shut reference to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, rapper Boosie Badazz.

“Boosie got a heart of gold. He’ll give you his shirt off his back,” she stated. “Boosie said in his song, ‘I don’t want to be like Camoflauge / I met him one week, the next week he died, I almost cried’…[He] came and [he] showed me love and took care of me like I was [his] child while I was in [his] presence so he’ll always have my respect.”

The music she quoted was Boosie’s “Goin’ Thru Some Thangs,” and sadly, their connection was fashioned out of the tragedy he talked about.

The Roc Nation signee continued to reward Boosie for welcoming her into his house, the place she might kick it by the pool and befriend his youngsters, with whom she remains to be shut with. However, she was positive to say she will be able to’t co-sign all of Boosie’s rhetoric — which is comprehensible, contemplating the “Wipe Me Down” artist is fast to supply sizzling takes which have offended individuals. “I can’t defend him on a regular basis ‘cause he [says] some off the wall stuff,” she admitted with a laugh. “I be like, ‘That’s my uncle man, I don’t know…’”
