Early Life

Born Torrence Hatch on November 2, 1982, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Boosie was raised in a dangerous neighborhood where even local police rarely ventured.

Personal Life

Boosie is the father of eight children with six different women, including three children with his longtime girlfriend, Walnita Decuir. In 2010, Walnita was arrested for attempting to smuggle narcotics to Boosie in jail.

In December 2020, Boosie announced his intention to sue Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for $20 million after being banned from Instagram, which he claimed cost him numerous business opportunities. During an interview with VladTV, Boosie stated that his ban from the social media platform potentially resulted in $20 million in lost earnings.

On November 14, 2020, Boosie was shot in the leg while attending a vigil for rapper MO3 in Dallas. Though initial reports suggested the possibility of amputation, Boosie later confirmed that he was recovering at home without amputation.

Legal Problems

Boosie's legal issues include numerous arrests and imprisonment stints. In 2010, he faced first-degree murder charges and was accused of drug distribution. Though he was found not guilty of murder, he was convicted on the drug charges and sentenced to eight years in state prison. His early release in 2014 came after his lawyers argued that he was set up by informants. He remained on parole until 2018. In July 2022, Boosie was detained and cited for marijuana possession during a traffic stop.

Controversies

Boosie has been embroiled in several controversies over the years. In February 2020, he faced backlash for making derogatory comments about Dwyane Wade's transgender daughter. In May 2020, he posted (and later deleted) an Instagram video boasting about hiring an adult woman to perform a sex act on his underage nephew. In October 2021, Boosie again courted controversy with an anti-gay rant directed at Lil Nas X on Twitter, which encouraged him to take his own life. The tweet was subsequently removed by Twitter.
