I love the fact that him being gay played second to his actual character. He was a true friend with the guys and not just the girls lackey who snaps and says one liners to make them laugh. Also, he was respected on campus as the barber

How Boosie Badazz's Pardon Push Turned Into a MAGA Mess

Tune in Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT for a 60 Minutes hidden camera investigation into a lucrative business: brokering pardons for felons. Lobbyists offer a chance at clemency — at a cost, and with no guarantees.
