Boosie Badazz accepted a plea deal in his federal gun case. He faces up to 15 years in federal prison. The Baton Rouge rapper, real name Torrence Ivy Hatch Jr., pled guilty to federal gun charges in San Diego on Wednesday.
Boosie, 42, was arrested in May 2023 after police searched a vehicle he was riding in and found two guns. Boosie and his driver tried to say the guns weren’t theirs.
However, police watching Boosie’s Instagram Live noticed a gun tucked in his waistband.
Police used a helicopter to track down his vehicle. Boosie’s car was then pulled over, and police searched the car and found the weapons.
After asking Trump to intervene in his case, Boosie took responsibility and accepted a plea deal earlier this month.
“JUST ACCEPTED A PLEA FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON MY GUN CASE. I THOUGHT THIS CASE WAS OVER N I WAS GOING TO GET ON WITH MY LIFE BUT ‘GOD DONT MAKE MISTAKES‘ N IM TIRED OF FIGHTING,” he wrote in a post on X (Twitter) on August 4.
“TO ALL MY FANS ACROSS THE WORLD SAY A PRAYER FOR YA BOY N GO GET THE NEW ALBUM,” he added.

U.S. District Judge Cathy Bencivengo will sentence Boosie in November.
Boosie was previously convicted in Louisiana of marijuana possession. He was also indicted in an alleged murder-for-hire plot, but he was acquitted by a Baton Rouge jury in 2012.
The rapper recently welcomed his ninth child.
