Boosie Badazz is back in the Vlad TV seat and discussing Diddy’s recent fall. One of Boosie’s main questions is: Where are Diddy’s famous friends?
“Kind of torn in between the two right now, because I feel like his friends– they knew all along,” he said. “How I was raised, bro? and I’m going tell you this, a lot of people might not like this: I wouldn’t give a damn if I beat my bitch. I’m still standing up for my partner. If he beat his bitch, that’s they shit. That’s how we was raised in the ghetto.”
He added, “With how I was raised, if you beat your bitch, that’s your problem. It never made me say ‘You’re not my friend anymore.’ That’s what I stand on. I always stand on wrong or wrong, right or right, you my friend and I probably was raised a fucked up way.”
Boosie Badazz has had plenty of rap battles. He spent most of the 2000s beefing with the likes of T.I. and Plies, even if he retroactively said him and Plies were on good terms. One would assume that he would be a fan of the current battle going on between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, but the Louisiana hitmaker feels the exact opposite. He got on social media on May 6 to criticize the way both rappers have handled the battle. He also went out of his way to criticize both of their fanbases.
The rant took place on X (formerly Twitter). Boosie kicked off his statement by claiming that too many fans are rooting in the downfall of Drake and/or Lamar. “I never seen so many men excited to see men tearing each other down thru music,” he wrote. “The men r more excited than the women lol.” Boosie went on to claim that fans have repeatedly asked him about his thoughts on the battle. Evidently, he’s getting tired of answering. He also said that he doesn’t want to see either rapper damage their hugely successful career.
I NEVER SEEN SO MANY MEN EXCITED TO SEE MEN TEARING EACH OTHER DOWN THRU MUSIC smh THE MEN R MORE EXCITED THAN THE WOMEN lol I CAME N THE CASINO MF LEAVE HIS GIRL N ASK ME “ BOOSIE WHO DO U THINK GOING DOWN DRAKE R KENDRICK smh LIKE THATS WHAT U THINKING ABOUT WITH A BADDIE…
“Do y’all really want to see one of these great artist career done cause they lost a rap battle?,” he asked his followers. “Do y’all want all what they have done for hip hop overshadowed by rap beef. They talking about children, baby mommas, dirt, fiances, molestation, pedophiles, etc.” Boosie Badazz then widened the conversation and inferred the dangers that could potentially be awaiting Drake and Dot in the future.
He theorized that traveling to the other’s home city may be dangerous for both rappers, which is not something that should be encouraged. “I hope y’all don’t think these artist n crews snaking hands n smiling when they see each other,” he added. “Nobody go be safe n the next artist city. Not to mention when other artist start picking sides n getting involved smh that’s when sh*t get serious.” Boosie isn’t the only rapper who’s expressed their disappointment over the battle. Chuck D felt that Drake and Dot should be presenting a united front to the rest of the music world. The Public Enemy rapper went as far as to say the two of them should go on tour with J. Cole.
While a truce may be possible in the future, the vitriol Drake and Kendrick Lamar have shown towards one another makes it difficult to see any peaceful resolution happening soon.
Boosie Badazz is usually in the headlines these days for the honest comments about the genre, other artists, or beefs he is involved in. However, do not forget for one second how much the Louisiana native has poured into the genre musically speaking. Countless records and endless influence are have what made him a prominent figure regardless of your opinion about him. Recently, Boosie Badazz fed the streets again with a blues-inspired record, Boosie Blues.
This quickly follows up a collaboration album he did with Jit The Beast back in February. It was called In House 2: Boosie and the Beast, and it spanned 14 tracks. If you are thinking, “why is he doing a blues-esque album?” Well, this is not his first rodeo. If you go back to 2018, that year he put forth Boosie Blues Cafe.
It was a bit rough around the edges in terms of quality and some of the vocals. But on the quasi-sequel, Boosie has curated some more refined tracks. Some will still have to fight through the raspy, high-pitched cadence. However, there is some fun moments to be had.
What are your thoughts on this brand-new album Boosie Blues by Boosie Badazz? Out of his now two blues-inspired records which one do you prefer and why? Which track is the best out the bunch? Who had the best guest performance? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Boosie Badazz finds himself in the spotlight once again, but this time it’s not for his parenting skills. In a recent video shared on social media, the Baton Rouge native can be seen giving his daughter fishing instructions. However, instead of focusing on the moment, people couldn’t help but notice something else – Boosie’s oversized Jordans. The rapper’s choice of footwear sparked a flurry of reactions across social media. Comments flooded in, with many users poking fun at the size of Boosie’s shoes. From remarks about “Size 18 Jordans” to questioning why his shoes were so “dam big,” the internet wasted no time in mocking the rapper’s fashion choice.
The video was later reposted by No Jumper, a popular media platform, where the comments section became a battleground of shoe-related banter. Users couldn’t resist making jokes about Boosie’s seemingly large footwear, with comments ranging from speculation about his shoe size to outright disbelief at the size of his kicks. While Boosie Badazz is no stranger to controversy or online trolling, this latest incident showcases how even the most mundane moments can become fodder for internet ridicule. Despite his genuine attempt at bonding with his daughter over a fishing trip, the focus quickly shifted to the rapper’s unconventional fashion statement.
It’s not the first time Boosie has faced criticism for his wardrobe choices, and it likely won’t be the last. But as the saying goes, any publicity is good publicity, and Boosie’s oversized Jordans have certainly got people talking. Whether it’s intentional or not, the rapper continues to command attention, both for his music and his larger-than-life persona – quite literally in this case.

Louisiana-born rapper Boosie Badazz has come a long way in the rap game since his days as a member of the Southern hip-hop collective Concentration Camp. Formerly known as Lil Boosie, Boosie Badazz’s influence in the rap game, especially in Southern hip-hop, is undeniable. Hence, it isn’t surprising that some of the greatest talents in rap music gained inspiration from Boosie.
However, his impact on the genre came into question recently following remarks made by Kanye West. Still, Boosie knows his worth and is ready to defend his legacy at any opportunity. Thus, when Kanye West claimed to have invented every style of music for the last two decades, Boosie was among those who strongly disagreed with him. Taking to his Instagram page, the Baton Rouge rapper shared an excerpt from Kanye’s interview and captioned it, “NOT ALL GENRES NOT EVERY STYLE NOT BOOSIE MUSIC YOU CANT RELATE TO NOTHING I RAP ABOUT R YOUR MUSICNOBODY LISTENS TO KANYE N THE PROJECTS R THE TRENCHES IM,A GON HEAD N SAY IT “ MY PEOPLE DO NOT RELATE TO YOU.””
In October 2022, Boosie also claimed to have influenced more “street n****s” than any other rapper in history. Boosie made this claim during an interview with VladTV. While discussing Kodak Black’s tribute to him in the song, “Too Boosie,” Boosie Badazz declared, “Ain’t nobody ever in rap history never raised more street n****s than me. I’m talking ’bout no rapper in history raised more street n****s” than me.” Boosie further claimed that every generation loves him, adding that he is always thankful when people credit him for his career.
It takes a man worth his salt to make such claims, and Boosie wasn’t playing when he made those comments. But how true are his words? Is Boosie Badazz’s influence in the rap game as great as he makes it out to be? Here are five rappers who credited Boosie Badazz for influencing their music.
Memphis-born rapper Young Dolph opened up about how Boosie Badazz influenced him to start rapping. A clip from an interview before Young Dolph’s death showed him admitting to Boosie Badazz’s influence. The late rapper shared that he met Boosie through a friend, and they smoked weed together. In that moment, Young Dolph stated that he knew Boosie was an authentic individual, even as he lived a particularly affluent lifestyle. That attitude and show of wealth struck a chord with Young Dolph, who declared soon after they left Boosie’s place that he would start rapping.
Boosie also talked about his influence on Young Dolph’s career during an Instagram Live on Feb. 5, 2024. He revealed that Young Dolph decided to start rapping after selling him weed. Boosie shared, “[Young Dolph] said that after he sold me that weed, man, that n***a got there from rappin’? I’m fixin’ to rap. That was 2006. I inspired a lot of muthafuckas. A lot of muthafuckas. I just don’t like to give me my flowers. You gotta be a real n**** to give me my flowers.”
MO3
Besides Young Dolph, another late rapper who rose to fame thanks to Boosie Baddazz’s influence was Dallas MC MO3. MO3 was signed to Boosie’s label and collaborated with him on different occasions. They worked on the 2019 song “Errybody,” before collaborating on the joint album BadAzz Mo3 a year later. Boosie and Mo3’s album peaked at no. 136 on the US Billboard 200 chart.
MO3 spoke about Boosie Badazz’s influence on his musical career during a chat with Flaunt to promote his and Boosie’s joint album. MO3 was dubbed the Boosie of Dallas then and expressed his delight at earning that title. “It feels good. That’s an accomplishment. That means I’m destined to be legendary. I’m holding all that weight right now. I’m this generation’s Boosie,” he said. MO3 also described Boosie as his favorite rapper, saying, “That’s my favorite. I don’t have any other favorites. Because he rapped my life. He helped me get through my days. Before I was rapping, I was 14 listening to him.” MO3 is no longer alive, but he managed to make a great impact in his lifetime, thanks to Boosie.
Kodak Black is very grateful to Boosie Badazz for his influence and has never hidden his admiration for him. During an appearance on DJ Whoo Kid’s podcast, Whoolywood Shuffle, about five years ago, Kodak was asked which rappers inspired him while growing up. In his response, Kodak said, “Lil Boosie and Plies.” To show his appreciation for Boosie even more, Kodak released the song “Too Boosie,” in 2021. In the track, he paid tribute to Boosie and referenced how he acts like the Baton Rouge rapper. Kodak also rapped about Boosie’s influence on his lifestyle.
TEC
Baton Rouge rapper is another MC who gained inspiration from Boosie. Being from the same city as Boosie, it isn’t surprising that TEC was greatly influenced by him. TEC endured so much to get to where he is today and those life lessons taught him to be stronger. Tec, who has spoken about Boosie’s influence on his music, adopts the latter’s brash and vulnerable style. In October 2021, TEC released an album, Web The World, in which he featured Boosie in the song, “Clapped Up.”
In an interview with Passion Of The Weiss, Tec opened up about how it felt to feature Boosie on a song. He said, “That shit meant a lot. That was like a goal in itself. Everyone from Baton Rouge wanna get a song with Boose. He was everybody’s favorite rapper at some point. Especially if you from our city – f**k rapper, he’s a role model and shit. Everybody wanted to be that n***a, fa real. So, to have him on my album? That s**t raw.” In another interview with Thirty Visuals, TEC named Boosie Badazz as one of his biggest influences.
YFN Lucci
During YFN Lucci’s rise to fame, one of those who helped him was a close friend, Nut. In an interview with Complex, Lucci said, “I met Nut when I was like, 22.” Nut believed Lucci would become successful in the rap game and supported him willingly. However, Nut died right after Lucci dropped his first mixtapes. Lucci made an EP titled Long Live Nut to honor his late friend. The last song on the EP was the track “Testimony,” featuring Boosie, who was Nut’s favorite rapper. Like Boosie, the Atlanta-based YFN Lucci employs emotive storytelling in his lyrics. He also loves using melodic hooks to keep his listeners tuned in.
Boosie Badazz has a great influence on hip-hop, especially the Southern hip-hop scene. Rappers like Young Dolph, Kodak Black, MO3, and TEC seem to have adopted Boosie’s musical style, making them more appealing to Southern hip-hop fans. Hence, though not everyone likes Boosie Badazz, he is not wrong when he says he influenced many artists in the rap game.
Boosie is looking to enter a truce with Yung Belu. Hitting X, Boosie tweeted his desire to sidestep court because attorneys and more see it as a payday.
“They want us to keep having to go to court my n—a,” Boosie wrote. “They putting u deeper in the hole by paying for your attorney fees. Why they don’t wanna pay your tab and get this negativity off you? Because they make more money with us beefing my n—a.”
bleuvandross CAN YOU HALLA AT @empire N YALL GET TOGETHER N PAY ME MY MONEY N GET THIS OVER WITH. THEY WANT US TO KEEP HAVING TO GO TO COURT MY NIGGA.THEY PUTTING U DEEPER N THE WHOLE BY PAYING FOR YOUR ATTORNEY FEES . WHY THEY DONT WANNA PAY YOUR TAB N GET THIS NEGATIVITY OFF…
Back in September 2023, Boosie Badazz was without an Instagram account. The controversial rapper’s account was disabled, and he believed it was due to his beef with Yung Bleu.
Boosie’s most recent page was @mamaheliveagain2.0, but now it’s gone. Hitting Instagram on his newest account, Boosie blamed Bleu.
“Yung Bleu got my Instagram took,” Boosie said. “Him and TQ the cable guy, they got my Instagram took.”
Boosie is also promoting his new YouTube channel Boosie Uncut.
The accusations toward Yung Bleu come after a lengthy back and forth. Boosie beleives Bleu and his brother TQ forged the Louisiana legend’s signature on paperwork for an EMPIRE deal.
Clashes between artists and public figures are nothing new in hip-hop. But as often seen, when two distinct voices in the genre find themselves at odds, the results can be explosive. Such is the case with the ongoing feud between Charleston White and Boosie Badazz. This beef, which has left many perplexed, is still very much alive. However, through a wider lens, it’s pretty evident that White’s the one with a bone to pick. Boosie, on the other hand, continues to hold back, citing a return to prison as the reason. Let’s delve into the timeline of this contentious relationship between Charleston White and Boosie Badazz.
The roots of the Charleston White and Boosie beef can be traced back to 2022. Boosie famously spoke out against Kanye West’s “White Lives Matter” shirt, claiming that Ye was disrespectful towards Black people. At the time, the general public agreed with Boosie’s comments. However, Charleston White expressed his disapproval on social media regarding Boosie’s remarks about Kanye.
In a long post, Charleston White also brought up Boosie’s 19-year-old son, Tootie Raww, along with T.I.’s 18-year-old son, King Harris. “I hate you, Boosie, and I don’t like your lil’ ugly-ass son neither, lil’ Tootie Raww,” he began. “He’s going to jail. Yeah, that lil’ boy going to jail. His lil’ bitch-ass going to jail. Lil’ Tootie Raww thinks he’s tougher than a motherfucker… Boosie, your boy don’t know how to fight. Neither do that lil’ T.I. lil’ yellow motherfucker.”
Soon after, during an interview with Tony The Closer, Boosie responded to White’s comments about his son. Choosing his words wisely, he stated: “I ain’t really got no opinion, because you know my opinion can send me to prison. Once you go to threaten people kids? I ain’t the one gonna do all that. Certain people, you can’t really express opinions on him.”
March 2023: Charleston White Has Boosie’s Son Arrested
The feud between Charleston White and Boosie Badazz reached a new level when White publicly criticized T.I.’s Paperwork Party event at the rapper’s Trap City Café. White, who had been driving by, trolled the event and threatened to mace T.I. Following this incident, Boosie’s son, Tootie, allegedly messaged White and insulted him. “Look bruh, shut your old, messy *ss up. You too old for that shit. Your *ss need to go get in the f**kin’ bed, you bitch. Stop speaking on us, you mothaf**ka. I hope you fuckin’ die.”
Matching his energy, and going a bit further, White responded with: “I hope your daddy die, n**ga, from that diabetes, I hope China don’t send the insulin over here one month. I hope your daddy die, n***a. His organs weaker than mine with that diabetes.”
Later that month, Tootie was arrested by the police after he was found with drugs and guns. He spent a day in jail before being bailed out by T.I.’s son, King. Charleston White jumped on Instagram Live and confessed to reporting Tootie to the police. “I’m the one who had the police lock him up,” he said. “I sent his picture to the Department of Public Safety of the Texas state trooper. I said, ‘Y’all be on the lookout for these boys they gonna have drugs and guns.’ So, they was on the lookout for Tootie. His dad is a six-time convicted murderer who uses children to kill people. So, they had they eyes wide open for that little Black ass motherf**ker.”
In June, Boosie was also arrested by federal agents. This was following his court appearance in San Diego, for his local gun case which had previously been dismissed. After his arrest, Charleston White took to Instagram Live and went on an extensive tirade, laughing at Boosie’s legal woes and suggesting he got what he asked for. “Now, God done also gave you what you asked for,” he said. “You want to be a hero to the streets? You want to be a hero to the ghetto? So, God needs a Daniel. And who better to play Daniel than you? Remember, Daniel had to go in the lions’ den and show everybody that God is real and he don’t get ate up by the lions. God done chose you to play Daniel for us, Boosie.”
December 2023: Boosie’s Response
Months after his arrest, Boosie Badazz made an appearance on VladTV, where he spoke up about White. He also revealed that he had asked VladTv not to interview White because of all the comments he had made about Tootie. Once again, Boosie claimed he was not scared of White, but was refraining from addressing him so he would stay out of jail. “I can’t take a chance of getting involved with that. I seen him on some shit, he gonna call somebody… I’m trying to stay free, man.”
March 2024: The Adin Ross Debacle
So after talking to Boosie, here’s the whole story behind the Adin Ross & Boosie canceled livestream. Adin personally reached out to Boosie and agreed to pay him to be on his stream. 2 hours before they were about to start, Adin’s assistant called Boosie and changed the terms…
Kicking off the month of March, DJ Vlad and Adin Ross somehow managed to find themselves entangled in the Charleston White vs. Boosie situation. Ross was originally supposed to welcome Boosie on his platform. However, the rapper was uninterested in partaking in a stream alongside Charleston White, and refused to take the bait. Soon after, Ross allegedly twisted the narrative and claimed that he turned down Boosie’s offer to appear on the stream, citing his loyalty to White as his reason.
Before it was revealed that Ross reportedly manipulated the story, DJ Vlad didn’t take the news of Ross turning Boosie down well. In fact, Vlad spoke out against Ross, calling him out on his bias, despite White’s previous comments about him, as well as Jewish people as a whole. “So @adinross, who is Jewish, canceled his livestream with @BOOSIEOFFICIAL because of his loyalty to Charleston White,” he began. “This is after Charleston White said he loves Hitler and the Holocaust was fake. Adin is lame as f-ck for this. F-ck Adin Ross.”

Still in March, Charleston White came for Boosie once again. White claimed that Boosie allegedly warned a club promoter not to book him, insinuating that dire consequences would follow for both the promoter and White. However, while White had no evidence to prove the interaction, he still threatened to call the FBI on Boosie and get him sent to jail. “I’ve already contacted law enforcement concerning these possible threats against my life. Boosie, I’ma put your muthafuckin ass in jail, nigga. You making threats to the promotor? I got a recorded phone conversation with witnesses on the phone saying the promotor is scared for his life that he got to live in Baton Rouge, that Boosie gon’ send them people to get you. You finna go to jail. You gon’ be on your knees. Them knees gon’ be bleeding again, diabetic freak.” Boosie is yet to make a response to White’s claims.
We already know that Boosie Badazz has a disdain for other MCs snitching, but now, he’s having a field day over recent photos of Playboi Carti that went viral. In the images, the Whole Lotta Red artist appears to have either the back of an unbuttoned bodysuit, or a thong, hanging out the back of his pants. The entertainer is obviously free to wear what he wants, but some internet trolls felt uncomfortable after seeing the pictures, including Boosie.
As XXL notes, the garment isn’t women’s underwear at all, but actually appears to be a piece from Rick Owens’ collaboration with Champion, crafted to give the illusion of wearing a thong. While going Live on Instagram, the Louisana native shared his thoughts on Carti’s fashion. “You saw the boy just put a thong on, bro. Playboi Carti,” Boosie began. “He put a thong up his a**, bro. You mean to tell me a man put a thong up his a** and not think about being a female?” the 41-year-old asked in confusion.
According to Boosie, the “Magnolia” hitmaker is experiencing jealousy regarding his famous ex, Iggy Azalea and her bodacious bod, which she makes a killing showing off on OnlyFans. “I don’t understand it, bro. He must have been jealous of his baby mama,” Boosie’s rant continued. “Iggy’s a** is beautiful with a thong on. Did you get mad and go into competition? How did you go from looking at Iggy in a thong to putting one on?”
Yet another question that’s weighing heavily on Boosie Badazz’s mind lately is about Diddy, and why none of the Bad Boy mogul’s friends are speaking up for him amid the troubling allegations he’s facing. Read all about that at the link below, and check back in with HNHH later for more music/pop culture news updates.
Boosie Badazz is a man with no shortage of opinions, and one person who’s always happy to hear them is DJ Vlad. Last year, the Louisana-bred rapper revealed he reportedly makes $500K from the media outlet for sitting down with journalists to discuss ongoing events and his contemporaries. On Monday (March 25), VladTV shared a new clip from a conversation with Boosie, this one focusing on Kodak Black’s diss on his “11AM in Malibu” song, which came out back in February.
According to the “Wipe Me Down” hitmaker, their ongoing drama is because Yak still feels a way about Boosie’s reaction to his collaboration with 6ix9ine. “What I said really affected him,” he told Vlad. “He not letting it go. What I said about [‘Shaka Laka’], it seem like since then, he been downhill. I think he regret what he did with Tekashi,” the 41-year-old went on.
Boosie Badazz and DJ Vlad Discuss Kodak Black’s Career
The Florida and New York track arrived in the summer of 2023, shortly after 6ix9ine experienced a brutal deatdown at a gym in Kodak’s home state. At the time, Boosie made it known that he wasn’t impressed with the young MC’s decision, leading to them trading shots online and in the studio. Since the “Mind of a Maniac” artist’s latest thoughts hit the blogs, we have yet to hear a response from Bill Kapri, but we’ll keep you posted on the latest as it comes.
While Boosie has his own reasons for detesting anyone who collaborates with 6ix9ine, it’s hard to deny that he makes some valid points. Kodak Black’s behaviour as of late has left many confused, from being arrested while sleeping in a vehicle earlier this year to seemingly rekindling his relationship with Mellow Rackz shortly after welcoming a baby with Maranda Johnson. Read all about the latter situation at the link below, and let us know if you think Yak can make a comeback musically in the comments.
Culture critic and online agitator Charleston White has claimed that Boosie Badazz threatened his life and has reportedly made this claim to federal authorities.
White made the allegation on IG, posting a video saying, “So Lil Boosie making threats? I’ve already contacted law enforcement concerning these possible threats against my life.” While White offered no proof of the interaction, he also posted screenshots of text messages where he claimed he had witnesses to Boosie allegedly threatening his life.
“Boosie Imma put your motherfucking ass in jail n-gga,” White also said in a video. “You making threats to the promoter. I got a recorded phone conversation with witnesses on the phone saying the promoter is scared for his life and he gotta live in Baton Rouge, that Boosie gonna send them people to get you.”
He added, “I’m waiting for the FBI to send me the right kinda number n-gga cause I’m finna make a report on your motherfucking ass. The man called your name specifically. The promoter specifically said your motherfucking name Lil Boosie, he implemented you and implicated you. Bitch ass n-gga you finna go back to jail. You gonna on yo knee, them knees finna be bleeding again, diabetic freak.”
