Boosie Badazz Commemorates Acquittal’s Anniversary Amid Potential Legal Win

by

Boosie Badazz has a couple of legal wins to celebrate, or at least, a potential escape in sight as he reflects on his previous victories. Moreover, he recently took to his Instagram page to commemorate when the court acquitted him in a 2009 first degree murder case. “12 YEARS AGO TODAY !!” the Baton Rouge rapper captioned his IG post. “I WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY N LET OFF DEATHROW N PUT BACK N POPULATION @runwithjason #MARTIN REAGENrip #NICOLE #Donk TRUST N GOD ‼” This was a big pop culture moment and especially so for the hip-hop community, so looking back on it must mean a lot to him.

Furthermore, the Boosie Blues MC might score another legal victory over his federal case for firearm possession, according to reported Meghan Cuniff. According to a reported new appellate opinion, people with non-violent felony convictions can legally possess guns for self-defense purposes. This new legal development could lead to the court dismissing his gun case, as his situation is very similar to the overturned case that this appellate opinion stems from. In both cases, authorities found firearms during a traffic stop and neither defendant caught accusations of any other illegal activity.

As such, Boosie might get this legal headache away from him, but no obstacle can stop him from speaking his mind on the culture. Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef did not escape a take from this perspective, and this assessment may surprise you. “I never seen so many men excited to see men tearing each other down thru music,” he wrote on Twitter. “The men r more excited than the women lol.

“DO YALL REALLY WANT ONE OF THESE GREAT ARTIST CAREER DONE CAUSE THEY LOST A RAP BATTLE?” Boosie continued. “DO YALL WANT ALL WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR HIP HOP OVERSHADOWED BY RAP BEEF? THEY TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN, BABYMOMAS DIRT, FIANCÉS, MOLESTATION, PEDOPHILES ETC. ‘S**T THEN GOT REAL.’ I HOPE YALL DONT THINK THESE ARTIST N CREWS SHAKING HANDS N SMILING WHEN THEY SEE EACH OTHER.

Lil Mosey Gets Candid After Beating Rape Case: “I Had To Rebuild My Whole Life”

Lil Mosey walked out of court a free man last month after he was acquitted in his rape trial. The “Blueberry Faygo” rapper escaped a potential life sentence and bounced back immediately with the release of “Flu Game.” During a recent interview with Billboard, he explained that he took inspiration from Michael Jordan’s infamous performance during game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals. MJ overcame his illness to bring the Bulls to victory, which Mosey said he related to after facing such a serious allegation.

Though Mosey pleaded not guilty from the jump, he was later cleared of all charges. However, the damage of the allegations still had an immediate effect on the rapper’s life. “It’s been tough, mentally. I kind of just had to rebuild my whole life,” he said. “It sucks to have something like that be attached to my name, knowing I didn’t do it, and the whole world can see that. The jury found me not guilty and I’m just grateful for the fans that have been here, and all the support they’ve shown.” 

Lil Mosey Cleared Of All Charges

Two women accused Lil Mosey and another man of raping them. They claimed the rapper invited them to a cabin where they all were partying. One of the women claimed that she consented to have sex with Mosey, but she said that she had been drinking and blacked out. She later claimed that she woke up to Mosey and his friend forcing themselves on her. However, she admitted that she previously had consensual sex with the rapper. When he took a polygraph test, he passed.

With the case behind him, he said that he wants to continue his career in music and flood the streets with new releases. Shortly after he was cleared, he performed at Rolling Loud LA for his first major performance in a long time. “It was amazing. I haven’t performed in front of a crowd that big in years so just to come back and feel that… I was shocked,” he said, adding that it was among the first times he got to perform “Blueberry Faygo” live. Check out the interview above.
