Boosie Badazz accepts federal plea deal in gun possession case

Boosie Badazz accepts a federal plea deal in his gun case, urging fans to pray and support his new album.

Rapper Boosie Badazz has accepted a federal plea deal related to a 2023 gun possession case, signaling a major development in the long-running legal battle.

The Baton Rouge native, born Torence Hatch, shared the update on August 4 via X (formerly Twitter), telling fans he’s “tired of fighting.”

The plea stems from a June 2023 traffic stop in San Diego, California, during which two firearms were discovered in Boosie’s vehicle. While state-level charges were dropped in 2024, federal prosecutors pursued the case, citing his status as a convicted felon—making firearm possession a federal offense.

Although the exact terms of the plea deal remain undisclosed, Boosie emphasized the importance of his family’s input and expressed gratitude to fans. He encouraged supporters to pray for him and stream his latest project, Words of a Real One.

Boosie had previously believed the matter was settled when the state charges were dismissed, calling it a fresh start. Now, with federal sentencing pending, the rapper may be facing more time behind bars. He has yet to confirm a court date or sentence.

The case has reignited public interest, placing Boosie Badazz back in the spotlight as fans await updates.
