\n\tNew Orleans rapper Boosie Badazz has accepted a plea deal in his federal gun possession case, telling fans via social media that he\u2019s \u201ctired of fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBoosie (Torence Hatch) announced the plea agreement on Monday (Aug. 4), more than two years after he was first charged with illegal gun ownership in San Diego. The case was briefly dismissed in 2024, but federal prosecutors later refiled the charges.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJUST ACCEPTED A PLEA FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON MY GUN CASE,\u201d Boosie posted on X.<\/a> \u201cI THOUGHT THIS CASE WAS OVER N I WAS GOING TO GET ON WITH MY LIFE BUT \u2018GOD DONT MAKE MISTAKES\u2019 N IM TIRED OF FIGHTING!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTALKED TO MY FAMILY N THIS IS THE RIGHT DECISION,\u201d continued Boosie, adding the \u201c100\u201d emoji. \u201cTO ALL MY FANS ACROSS THE WORLD SAY A PRAYER FOR YA BOY N GO GET THE NEW ALBUM.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rapper ended his X post with the prayer emoji and the hashtag \u201c#wordsofarealone,\u201d referring to his 13-song album Words of a Real One <\/em>that dropped on Friday (Aug. 1).<\/p>\n

\n\tA Monday entry on Boosie\u2019s court docket confirmed that a plea agreement has, in fact, been reached in the case, with a hearing scheduled for Aug. 26. Terms of the deal, including what exactly Boosie will plead guilty to, have not yet been made public.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoosie was first charged in June 2023 with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Authorities spotted the rapper with a handgun tucked into his waistband in an Instagram video \u2014 a crime, prosecutors alleged, because Boosie was previously convicted on drug charges back in 2011.<\/p>\n

\n\tA federal judge dismissed the case in July 2024 due to evolving Second Amendment precedent around whether nonviolent felons can be charged with this type of gun possession. But prosecutors refiled the case with some changes later that same month, and it was proceeding apace before the plea agreement was reached.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoosie is currently out on a $100,000 bond.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
