<p>Amid the ongoing discussion about<a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/keke-palmer-taraji-p-henson-unequal-pay-hollywood/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Black women being underpaid</a> in Hollywood, <strong>Boosie</strong> has voiced his opinion and urges for a much-needed change.</p>
<p>The rapper&#8217;s stance on the matter comes just weeks after <strong>Taraji P. Henson</strong> <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/taraji-p-henson-quit-hollywood-equal-pay/">spoke out</a> about the pay disparity among women of color in the movie business.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Boosie Tackles The Topic Of Pay Disparity In Hollywood</h3>
<p>On Thursday (January 4), Boosie shared a post to his social media, fully supporting the actress&#8217; remarks, and said that more Black people need to speak out to make a difference.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When you&#8217;re doing it by yourself, you stick out like a sore thumb, and you get treated with humility,&#8221; he said.</p></blockquote>
<p>What&#8217;s more, it prompted him to mention Mo&#8217;Nique, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/monique-announces-new-netflix-comedy-special-shares-shes-reuniting-with-lee-daniels-on-a-new-film/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who sued Netflix back in 2019</a> for allegedly showing racial bias by only offering her $500k for a comedy special.</p>

<p>She cited <strong>Amy Schumer</strong> and <strong>Ellen Degeneres</strong> as some of her industry peers who have made millions for their standup specials on the platform. But Netflix stood firm on their offer, which sparked a legal suit that they eventually settled out of court by June 2022, according to the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2022-06-16/monique-netflix-lawsuit-settlement-bias-allegations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LA Times</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;She been telling y&#8217;all Black women are being underpaid,&#8221; Boosie continued.</p>
<p>Many were quick to dismiss Mo&#8217;Nique&#8217;s accusations against Netflix, despite her efforts to show the unfair treatment of Black women in Hollywood.</p>
<p>According to the &#8216;Wipe Me Down&#8217; artist, people only started paying attention when Henson tearfully revealed her desire to quit Hollywood due to the ongoing issue of Black women making less than their white co-stars.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Taraji&#8217;s Comments Led To A Wide Conversation</h3>
<p>Henson, whose film career spans over two decades and countless accolades, stated she was still fighting for equal pay in every meeting when she negotiated a contract with a studio.</p>
<p>But even then, she still gets the short end of the stick, as executives have rarely ever met her asking price.</p>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="C1FW90gu3R0" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s starting to be a reality, but Mo&#8217;Nique been told y&#8217;all,&#8221; he added, telling fans that power comes in numbers.</p></blockquote>
<p>The implication suggests that if more people addressed the long-standing problem in Hollywood, Black women would have more support as they continue to vigorously fight to receive what they deserve.</p>
<p>Additionally, Boosie intertwines his point with his ongoing frustration over a supposed agenda he presumes imposing on children. Things can only change if others are willing to work collectively.</p>
<p>In his final message, Boosie indicated that he is one of the few trying to instigate change. The rapper had previously <a href="https://twitter.com/BOOSIEOFFICIAL/status/1742168185137209623" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared his concerns</a> about the type of content being forced onto children and he refused to sit back and keep quiet about it.</p>
<p>&#8220;This agenda is being pushed on our kids, and I don&#8217;t agree with it. It will start being reality,&#8221; he concluded.</p>
