Boosie Badazz on Strong Distate for Snitching: ‘It Happened to My Family for Since the ‘80s’

Boosie Badazz on Strong Distate for Snitching: ‘It Happened to My Family for Since the ‘80s'

One thing Boosie Badazz has been vocal about over the past few months is snitches. He has spoken against Gunna, had a brief misunderstanding with T.I., and also shunned 6ix9ine, despite respecting how he took a jumping.

Out on bond and at the BET Awards, Boosie was stopped and asked by The Neighborhood Talk why snitching is such a deep topic for him.

“It happened to my family,” Boosie said. “I had two uncles snitched on that did 20 years. I was on Death Row because somebody snitched on me. It’s detrimental to my family since the ’80s. That’s why I have no love for people who do that.”

For his recent arrest, nobody snitched. He was caught on Instagram but Boosie Badazz has made it out of the feds. On Saturday, Boosie was released after posting a $100,000 bond.

TMZ caught up with Boosie in the back of an SUV on Friday night, departing the Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego.

And then Boosie pulled right on up to Ruth Chris.

Days before, Boosie Badazz was granted a bond and put up the cash, but prosecutors did not acknowledge the court decision, he says.

Boosie, whose real name is Torrance Hatch Jr., was taken into custody by federal agents this past week following his court appearance for an illegal weapons possession charge in San Diego, California, last month.

“After the judge has granted me a bond, and I paid my full cash amount the prosecution refuse to respect the judges decision to let me go,” Boosie wrote. “They showed no evidence of me being a flight risk or a danger to the community.

“The prosecutor Mr. wheat looked at me singing Wipe Me Down, wiped his shoulders and shook his head with a look of evil in his eyes. This is total misconduct from a prosecutor. He is racist and has evil intentions. Now they filed an appeal asking another judge to keep me in prison. I need the people of San Diego outside the court tomorrow to protest the injustice that is being done to me.

“I need ALL prayer warriors across the world to pray this southern district of California remove Mr. wheat and this prosecution off my case. Even my attorneys have never seen nothing like this in their career. Help Me Fight this Injustice and say a prayer for my freedom tomorrow.”

Unsealed court documents have revealed that the federal arrest actually stemmed from the May 6 arrest in San Diego when authorities in San Diego saw Boosie on IG Live associating with a well-known member of the Crips in the local area.

The law enforcement agency that observed Boosie online saw a gun in his waistband and used an “Airborne Law Enforcement Unit” to find him. When police pulled over the SUV, they found the firearm that matched the one found on his waist in the video.

After the case was dismissed in San Diego, ATF arrested Boosie last week for being a felon possessing a weapon. Boosie was tagged with a felony back in 20011 when he was convicted of bringing illegal contraband into a penal institution, criminal conspiracy to incite a felony, and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.

Screen Shot 2023 06 01 at 10.34.20 AM

Kim Kardashian is currently co-parenting with Kanye West, but getting along with the once-billionaire may not be the easiest task. Speaking with Vogue Italia, Kim K speaks about hiding her anger with Ye when she is around the kids.

“If it’s something concerning my kids’ dad and I’m upset, I try not to show as much emotion,” she said. “I have to be ready to explain why I’m upset and it might not be appropriate for them to know. There’s nothing worse than ‘You’ll understand when you’re older.’ I don’t want to be that person.”

Kardashian also spoke about how if it she is upset about something her kids can understand, she will let it show. “On Christmas morning, I cried when my mom gave me a doll house. My kids didn’t understand why, and I explained I had that at my dad’s house as a little girl.”

Recently, Kim Kardashian revealed she doesn’t let her kids keep up with news about their dad, Kanye West. The mom of four shares North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm West with her ex-husband and takes all precautions to shield them from stories related to their father.

“When stuff is said, it’s a chain to my whole household, no TV, only Apple TV,” Kim revealed to her mom, Kris Jenner, during Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians. “I can’t risk Access Hollywood coming up next or anything on the news coming up with their dad mentioned and they want to watch,” Kim continued. “I have to figure out a way to, like, protect. And so they still haven’t seen anything, but I go into crisis mode.”

During this week’s episode of The Kardashians, which aired on June 1, Kim recalled that when she was married to Kanye, and he would make negative headlines, she would run around calling people behind his back, telling them, “It’s gonna be OK. It’s gonna be OK. Don’t worry. Just give him another chance.” Kim revealed that she used to “spend hours and hours and hours” of her days as “the clean up crew.” “That’s why you got divorced because you can’t do that to yourself,” Kris told her daughter.
During her confessional, Kim admitted, “It’s like the hardest feeling to watch someone you really loved and you have a family with just be so different than who you knew.”

Former Dancer Sues Michael Jackson’s Estate For Molestation

Screen Shot 2023 06 27 at 8.46.35 PM

According to several confirmed reports, Wade Robson, a very talented choreographer, is suing the late “King of Pop” Michael Jackson. Robson claims that he was sexually abused by Jackson when he was a young child. Robson, known for his talent with famous performers, is now trying to receive justice and compensation for the terrible things he says the famous musician did to him.

This intense legal battle is happening in a Los Angeles courtroom, which Robson, who is now in his mid-30s and at the best time of his life, says is a scary story about his claimed emotional pain. Robson contends that he seeks monetary compensation for the harm he endured. He says he was molested many times, starting when he was seven years old until he was a teenager.

On Monday, the California Court of Appeals has approved the lawsuit from the 40-year-old to sue MJJ Productions, which overturned the 2021 decision to dismiss the case.

This enormous, public case created a lot of discussion ands controversy., even though Jackson was cleared of child molestation charges in 2005. His reputation is still surrounded by problems due to continuous claims of sexual wrongdoings. This new lawsuit from Robson brings an interesting and thought-provoking angle to the story, raising important questions about the unknown aspects of the musician’s life.

People who disagree say that Robson’s late accusation makes his claims less credible. They are not sure if repressed memories can be trusted, and they think Robson might have other reasons for accusing, like wanting money. However, people who support and help those who have been abused highlight the suffering that victims experience. They carry a heavy weight of shame, fear and pressure from society, which often makes it difficult for victims of sexual abuse to speak out about their painful experiences.

This fight between Robson and Michael Jackson’s estate is likely to lead to many complicated legal questions. Jackson died unexpectedly in 2009, but. Robson’s lawsuit brings attention to the time limits for filing a legal case. Also, it could create new rules for similar cases against people who have passed away.

As the court case continues, people around the world are watching closely and feeling nervous about what will happen between Wade Robson and the complicated history of Michael Jackson. It also raises important questions about how society should handle the actions and reputation of public figures.

On this day in Hip Hop history, St. Louis rap icon Nelly released his Grammy debut LP Country Grammar. Released by Universal Records, the unique pop-rap-country sound of this project struck well with consumers and critics alike peaking at #1 on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts.

Whether it was intended or not, this album set the bar high for all other summertime albums to come in the new millennium. This mixture of Jason “Jay E” Epperson’s production and Nelly’s Missouri slang proved to be the perfect formula for a high energy album hosting some of the decade’s hottest party tracks.

The sing-along appeal of this project is what brought it so much commercial success. Along with topping the US music charts, this album also made chart appearances in Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, France, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK. The album was also certified platinum in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and of course the United States (where it sold 9,000,000 copies).

The album contained hit singles “Country Grammar” (which was nominated for a Grammy), “E.I.,” “Ride Wit Me” and “Batter Up” which all made international music chart appearances. Critics across the board hailed this album as a breakthrough in Hip Hop, never before had a project come from the Midwest with so much appeal to other regions of the country.

Following this album, Nelly grew to be one of the brightest stars of the 2000’s putting out multiple multi-platinum albums and winning a plethora of awards for his musical ability. He has also since had a successful career on-screen both in films and on television.

Deion underwent surgery on his left leg on Friday, June 23. He was expected to be released from the hospital on Sunday, June 25.

His doctor feared he would lose his left foot due to poor circulation caused by blood clots in his leg. But Deion dismissed talks of amputation on Thursday.

“There is no talk of amputation. There’s no talk of any of that whatsoever,” he said.

He said the surgery on Friday was to “try to get those clots so I can have proper blood flow to the leg so they can fix the toes. That’s what’s going on.”
