In a heated response to legal action taken by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Merl, rapper Boosie Badazz has declared that he may never return to Baton Rouge. The controversy stems from the upcoming Boosie Bash, a music festival intended to raise funds for a scholarship in memory of Caleb Wilson, a young man who tragically lost his life in an alleged hazing incident.

During a recent livestream, Boosie expressed his frustration with the Attorney General’s office, suggesting that the legal action feels like an attempt to undermine his efforts and success in Louisiana. He stated, “These people trying to take me down… I don’t think I’m going back to my city.” Boosie is now contemplating taking the festival on the road to various states, including Arkansas, Texas, and Florida, indicating a willingness to move beyond his hometown if necessary.

The legal dispute revolves around the use of Wilson’s name and image to promote the festival. Merl claims that Wilson’s family was not informed about the event or the intention to use his likeness for promotional purposes. She has labeled the situation a “dramatic misrepresentation” and seeks an apology from Boosie and his team.

In response, Boosie confirmed his collaboration with Wilson’s family in establishing a scholarship fund, asserting that his intentions were positive and aimed at honoring the young man’s memory. He expressed his desire to contribute meaningfully, stating, “I did this out of love.”

As the situation unfolds, Boosie is focusing on planning a nationwide tour for Boosie Bash, emphasizing the support he has received from fans outside Louisiana. “I’m taking this [event] on the road… I got 300K, 400K to book all the arenas,” he stated. The controversy underscores the complexities of celebrity philanthropy and the challenges that arise when community sentiments and legalities intersect.
