Boosie Badazz: Outrage as rapper claims to have paid for oral sex for 12-year-old son and nephews

‘I’m training these boys right,’ said rapper in an Instagram Live video that has prompted calls for him to be arrested

US rapper Boosie Badazz has provoked outrage after claiming he paid for oral sex for his underage sons and nephews.

The hip-hop artist, whose real name is Torrence Hatch Jr, made the comments in an Instagram Live video, clips of which have been circulated on social media.

Hatch, who had minor hits with tracks including “Set It Off” and “Wipe Me Down”, said: “I’m training these boys right, I’m training these boys right. Ask any of my nephews, ask any of them… ask my son. Yeah, when they was 12, 13 they got head.”

“That’s how it’s supposed to be,” he continued. “Hell yeah I got my f***ing son d**k sucked. You f***ing right. Yes, a grown woman, grown, super grown, checked his a** out. Checked all my nephews out, super grown. Is she grown? She check me out.

“I know what the f*** she did to them, she checked me out, that b****. I’m getting them prepared, man.”

Hatch lives in Louisiana, where it is illegal to solicit sex workers, and for anyone older than 17 to engage in sex, including oral sex, with anyone under that age. If true, the claims would represent sexual assault.

People on Twitter have described the claims as “child abuse”.

Hatch, who has a history of making homophobic and transphobic comments, also said in the video: “That’s why [my kids] have iPhone 11s. They can watch as much porn as they want. It’s better than them watching cartoons with two men kissing.”

The Independent has reached out to the rapper’s representatives for comment.
