Boosie Calls For Black People To Boycott Netflix’s Jeffery Dahmer Miniseries, “This Is Some Sick Sh*t!”

September 30, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Netflix’s Jeffery Dahmer limited series has taken America by storm. The show chronicles the life of Jeffery Dahmer and some of the 17 men that he killed between 1978 and 1991. While the show has been praised, especially for its performances, others have critiqued the show, essentially calling it a slap in the face of the families of the families of Dahmer’s victims.

Among those disgraced at the show is none other than Boosie, who recently took to IG where he shared a message to the Black community, calling for a boycott of the show, mainly because the majority of Dahmer’s victims were Black.

“Us as blacks we need to ban this Jeffery Dahmer movie. This is some sick shit what he did to our race,” Boosie said. “This is some sick shit. We need to boycott this damn movie off of Netflix. Boosie then said that the families of the victims should get paid off of the series. “The victims family’s should be getting paid off of every dollar Netflix made. This is fucking sick.”

Boosie is one of many people that have a problem with the new series. Families of the victims voiced their disapproval of the series, and said that they were not receiving a dime form Netflix. Eric Perry, the cousin of Rita Isbel, whos brother was murdered by Dahmer took to twitter after the reenactment of his cousin’s impact statement during Dahmer’s trial went viral.

“I’m not telling anyone what to watch, I know true crime media is huge rn, but if you’re actually curious about the victims, my family (the Isbell’s) are pissed about this show,” Eric tweeted, “It’s retraumatizing over and over again, and for what? How many movies/shows/documentaries do we need?”

Meek Mill & Boosie Are Convinced DaBaby Is Blackballed

September 29, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Things just aren’t the same for DaBaby these days. The rapper’s empire fell in the summer of 2021 during his Rolling Loud performance. He decided to bring out Tory Lanez as his special guest — just before Megan Thee Stallion. Still, his homophobic comments shortly after overshadowed the Tory bit. It didn’t take long for corporate sponsors, collaborators and others to denounce the rapper.

Ultimately, this played a significant impact in the way his music was received. Not just from fans but the industry, at large.

Akademiks and Ebro have gone at it on Twitter for nearly 24 hours after the former accused the latter of blackballing the North Carolina rapper. Ebro denied that he prevented DaBaby from getting on any Apple Music playlists. However, it seems like others believe the industry politics is what’s really hindering DaBaby’s career.

Meek Mill chimed in on the matter on Twitter, writing, “They blatantly black balling da baby .. not my business but ima observer.”

Boosie, who worked closely with DaBaby on several occasions, said that “something is definitely going on” behind the scenes.

“Ain’t no way my n***a @DaBabyDaBaby supposed to sell 16k after selling almost 150k his last first week he one of the BIGGEST n this shit I DONT KNOW WHATS GOING ON BUT SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY GOING ON,” wrote Boosie on Twitter.

A similar point was initially raised by Akademiks, who noted the influence that playlist has on Billboard charts. DaBaby’s last album, 2020’s Blame It On Baby, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 124K in its first week. The album before that, Kirk, reached the top of the charts with 145K.

Kirk and Blame It On Baby arrived before the Rolling Loud incident, which he’s since apologized for. Still, even back then, fans expressed concerns about his formulaic flow.

Is it the industry politics or the music itself that’s holding DaBaby back? Let us know in the comment section below.

Boosie Admits To Breaking Down After Brother Stole Yung Bleu and $469K From Him

September 27, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Fans may be used to Boosie making headlines over his social media antics, but the Baton Rouge rapper is now sharing a more vulnerable side of his journey after releasing his new book Cross The Tracks: A Memoir. Fresh off the premiere of his film, Waterboyz, which is officially due out on Sept. 28th, Boosie opened up about the dark period in his life when his brother, Taquari Hatch, stole money and a music artist from him.

According to the “Wipe Me Down” rapper, Taquari misappropriated $469k from him right following his release from prison in 2014, after serving five years for a murder charge he was facing. On top of being robbed financially, Boosie also says his brother stole royalties and rights to Yung Bleu’s music when the Alabama rapper was signed to Boosie’s label, Bad Azz Music Syndicate.

“Man when that money was missing, I broke odd own bro,” the 39-year-old told B High TV. “That was the money I had just came home and got a check with. Everything was gone. Sh*t broke me down.”

The “Set It Off” star admitted that although he was upset about the money, he was more hurt when police came after his brother.

“Then when they arrested him it f****d me up even more. Just think $469K after you come home from a murder charge. That b***h gone. I still ain’t get it back.”

Boosie’s brother is also responsible for Yung Bleu’s signing with Empire Records while Boosie was away. According to the star, Taquari forged his signature on a document that sent Bleu to Empire. Taquari is also listed as a writer on the “You’re Mines Still” rapper’s early works, claiming that he wrote 60 percent of Bleu’s catalog.

Boosie is currently still in a legal battle with his brother in court over royalties owed to Bleu. The brothers reportedly only communicate via text these days. Check out more from the interview below.

Boosie Looks Back On Life Before Prison

September 27, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Baton Rouge rapper Torrence Hatch, A.K.A “Lil Boosie”, recently went on Revolt and reflected on some of the decisions he’s made in the past. When asked if he would have made different choices the rapper responded with: “I woulda done everything different. I woulda took rapping serious, like, 8-9 years ago. I woulda done it totally different if I could take it back, ’cause I ain’t wanna go to jail man.”

On October 22, 2008, Hatch was arrested after police found marijuana and a Glock in his car. Boosie pled guilty to the drug charges and was sentenced to two years in prison.

The rapper was electronically monitored and placed under house arrest between the time of his plea and sentencing; unfortunately for the 39-year-old, his sentence was doubled once authorities found out he had broken house arrest, thus, violating his probation. In the summer of 2010, Boosie was also charged with first-degree murder. He was 26 at the time.

In late 2009, during his last few hours as a free man, the controversial figure would sit down and talk about his life decisions before being put behind bars soon after. “They’re treating me on who they think I am,” he said at the time. “They judging me on Boosie Bad Azz, not Torrence Hatch.”

The “Wipe Me Down” recording artist explained to Revolt that there’s a difference between the music he makes and the life he actually lives. He also went on to explain the reason for breaking his house arrest, stating that he was sued by promoters for missing his concert dates and was worried that if he missed more shows he wouldn’t have the money to support his family. Boosie was a father of seven at the time, with one more on the way.

“I had to go do these two shows these last two days to feed my family,” Hatch recalled.

The Louisiana-born star is 39 now, and while he wishes he would have done things differently in the past, he understands that he put himself in those situations. “I ain’t wanna go to jail bro. But that’s how it goes, you know? I chose that life,” Torrence admitted during his Revolt interview.

That said, prison may not have been a complete waste of time for the rapper. Boosie has since gone on record to say he wrote over 1,000 songs while locked up, check out more on that here.

Boosie Performs “Set It Off” And “F*ck The Police” In Front Of Police Officers During Traffic Stop

August 26, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Boosie is known for his boisterous attitude and blunt and over the top reactions. Not to long ago he was pulled over by Georgia police, told to get out of the car and handcuffed while the officers searched his car. A video then surfaced of Boosie cussing at the cops and telling them that he would beat their ass. Boosie was recently pulled over once again and his reaction was a bit different, this time he decided to perform a couple of his songs for the officers instead.

“They got me pulled over again so I’m finna perform a concert in front of the police,” Boosie said before he started performing “Set It Off” acapella. “You wanna talk shit/You wanna run your mouth/You want some gangsta’ friends at your motherfucking house/We gonna set this bitch off,” Boosie rapped in front of the officers. He then transitioned and started rapping his song “F*ck the Police.”

“Narcotics, fuck ’em/Feds, fuck ’em/D.A., fuck ’em/we don’t need you bitches on our street/say it with me, fuck the police, fuck the police/Without that badge you a bitch and a half nigga fuck the police.”

Officers say that Boosie was going 73mph in a 55mph zone and threw something out of the car window before being pulled over. Once they stopped the car, they said they smelled weed which prompted them to ask Boosie to step out of the car. The cops said that they found a small amount of weed in the car but did not cite Boosie for it.

In another video Boosie shared shows him holding $30k in his hand and asking the police officer whether or not he and his affiliate are going to jail or not. He then tells the officer he can give him a job and it comes with “unconventional benefits.”

“Are we going to jail or not. that’s the question. The money is ready,” Boosie said. “30k that’s what i keep in my pocket to spend in a day.” He then went on to ask the officer how much he makes in a year, to which he did not respond. “If you ever get tired of them you can come work for me. I’ll pay you double. Because you don’t talk much I like you. And get your d*ck sucked any time you want,” Boosie added.
