The word "boi" appeared in various communities during the 1990s (e.g. masculine-of-center lesbians, butch drag kings, and submissive BDSM partners, etc.) none of which were in any way black-specific. Rap artists didn't begin incorporating the word "boi" into their lyrics until circa 2000 (at least, given the available liner notes). The first use of this word in a song title was likely "Dope Boi Fresh" released in 2002.<ref>"Boi Fancy: Identity Politics and the History of Boi in Queer Spaces" June 20, 2018. http://www.boifancy.com/</ref> | The word "boi" appeared in various communities during the 1990s (e.g. masculine-of-center lesbians, [[butch]] [[drag]] kings, and submissive BDSM partners, etc.) none of which were in any way black-specific.
