Rapper Boosie Badazz has officially pleaded guilty to federal gun charges, a move that could lead to significant prison time. In a shocking turn of events, the 40-year-old artist, known for his candid lyrics and outspoken personality, accepted a plea deal that has left fans and the music industry reeling. The charges stem from an incident in 2023 during a video shoot in San Diego, where he was arrested for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
In an emotional update shared on social media, Boosie expressed his relief that the legal battle is finally over, but he acknowledged the heavy toll it has taken on him. “I’m just glad that it’s over,” he stated, adding that he had fought hard against what he described as a biased prosecution. The rapper’s plea comes after a rollercoaster of legal challenges, including a prior dismissal of the charges under the Dewarte precedent, which he believed would protect him due to his non-violent criminal history.
However, the federal government has reignited the case, leading to Boosie’s decision to accept the plea. His attorney indicated that the plea was a strategic move to avoid further stress and uncertainty, acknowledging the harsh realities of federal sentencing, which typically ranges from one to four years for such offenses.
Boosie’s journey through the legal system has been fraught with ups and downs, and this latest development marks a significant turning point. As he prepares to face sentencing, he has urged fans to keep him in their thoughts and prayers, while vowing to continue his musical journey. The rapper’s future now hangs in the balance as he confronts the consequences of his past choices, a stark reminder of the challenges many face in the intersection of fame, law, and personal redemption.
