Big Boi Causes Twitter Outrage With Controversial Photo Regarding Mothers
Big Boi found himself in a bit of a sticky situation after posting a picture depicting the “reason” children behave the way they do today, and he believes it has everything to do with how mothers behave.
The first photo shows Esther Rolle as the character Florida Evans in Good Times being attentive as a parent, while the second photo portrays a woman straddling a chair in a thong while her toddler daughter looks on. The caption reads, “Mothers in the 70’s…Mothers now…And we act like we don’t know what’s wrong with these kids.”

Naturally, Twitter ignited with a debate, with many users saying that the rapper shouldn’t be blaming just the mothers for a child’s behavior, but a father as well. Check out some of the responses from the Twittersphere below.
@BigBoi This is gross. Delete this bullshit. Go write some rappity raps. Do something constructive.

It’s just cute to me how big Boi thinks moms back in the day weren’t busting it open. How you think you got here? By faith?

Only thing Big Boi did wrong was not blame the men too. We’re supposed to set the example and lead. If you wanna be a technical patriarch

We get to watch our own brothers degrade Black motherhood every single day like they don’t come from black women
