'Queen of Bounce' Big Freedia: no guns, more ass-shaking!

Published: March 10, 2021, 3:15 a.m.

Big Freedia is famed for her music and twerking; her life story and anti-gun activism are less well known. She was shot in 2004, her brother killed in 2018 and years earlier, her cousin "over a 10-speed bike." Big Freedia talks about her life, her documentary Freedia Got A Gun , and her memoir Big Freedia: God Save the Queen Diva! on this week's Out in the Bay. She shares twerking tips, too, and some of her bounce music, including her new single, “Platinum.”
