Rubi Rose Shuts Down Age Controversy Over “Bad and Boujee” Video, “I Was 18”

Rubi Rose Shuts Down Age Controversy Over “Bad and Boujee” Video, “I Was 18”

Rubi Rose has swiftly risen to stardom in recent years, gearing up for the release of her debut album following a string of successful singles. Her journey into the spotlight began with appearances in iconic 2010s music videos. While she made waves in Cardi B’s “WAP,” her initial breakthrough came from her cameo in Migos’ chart-topping hit “Bad and Boujee.”

Recently, Rose’s appearance on the Joe Budden Podcast sparked a flurry of controversy. During the interview, she mentioned being only 16 when she starred in the “Bad and Boujee” video, igniting a backlash over the perceived inappropriateness of her casting at such a young age. The public outcry was so intense that Rose felt compelled to clarify her statement.

Taking to Twitter, the rapper corrected the record, posting a clip from the podcast with a caption: “I was 18 in the ‘Bad and Boujee’ video y’all,” she wrote. “My bad.” Indeed, the math supports her claim. Born on October 2, 1997, Rose was 18 when the video was filmed and 19 when it was released on October 31, 2016.

This isn’t the first time Rose’s age has stirred up controversy. In a December 2023 VladTV interview, she hinted at past romantic involvements with rappers Travis Scott and 21 Savage. The interview raised eyebrows as she might have been underage during those relationships. When the interviewer pointed out that she was 21 at the time of the interview, Rose’s evasive reaction added fuel to the speculation.

Internet detectives uncovered old Instagram posts from 2014, liked by Travis Scott, despite Rose being only 16 at the time. They also found a deleted tweet where she implied lying about her age, stating, “Sometimes u have to lie about your age when it comes to NFL players.”

Earlier this month, Boosie and his fiancée, Rajel Nelson, happily announced that they are expecting a baby girl, Boosie’s ninth child. They celebrated this joyous occasion with a vibrant gender reveal party surrounded by friends and family, but Boosie’s excitement for his baby’s gender hasn’t diminished his wish for a boy. He’s already thinking about the next phase of parenthood.

In a candid Instagram Live session, Boosie shared his thoughts with his followers. “Yeah, I wanted a boy,” he admitted. “I ain’t tripping I’ma to put another one in her right after that.

While Boosie expresses his enthusiasm, Rajel Nelson has a slightly more traditional viewpoint. During her Instagram Live session, she shared her initial desire to be married before starting a family. “I did say I would like to be a wife before I have a kid,” Nelson reflected. “But God has blessed me to have a child before I got married, and that is okay. This is my baby. I made it. So, I’m just going to, you know, lay in my bed with it.”

Despite the whirlwind of baby discussions, Nelson remains grounded, particularly regarding public perception. She quickly dismissed critics who label her a “gold digger,” asserting that she is financially independent and does not rely on Boosie for her success. Regarding their relationship, Nelson suggests that the negativity aimed at her stems from others’ insecurities rather than her reality. As Boosie dreams of a tenth child and Nelson prepares for motherhood, fans wonder if wedding bells will ring before another gender reveal appears on their feeds. One thing is sure: this couple knows how to keep everyone talking.
