AceShowbiz - Boosie Badazz (Lil Boosie) has called out a tabloid for falsely making news about him. After TMZ reported that he's being sued for $525,000 over the "Legendz of the Streets Tour" brawl, the "Betrayed" rapper took to social media to slam the publication.
Making use of Instagram on Wednesday, December 15, the 39-year-old shared pictures and a video from the altercation. In the clip, he's seen performing with a bunch of people onstage. Shortly after that, one man suddenly confronted another guy near the DJ booth.
In the caption, Boosie raged, "WE WERE ATTACKED WITH GUNS BY STAGE PEOPLE WHO DIDNT SUPPOSED TO HAVE GUNS. WATCH THE VIDEO CLOSE WE WERE ATTACKED @tmz_tv @tmz.tour." He added, "THIS WHAT THE F**K U NEED TO POST FACTS LOOK CLOSE ITS A GUN LOOK CLOSE @tmz_tv WHY YOU DONT WANNA POST THIS."
The Baton Rouge native then stressed in another post, "POST THE TRUTH TMZ Double exclamation mark it's on my page @Americasmostwantedig." He continued, "USE YOUR F**KING PLATFORM TO SHOW WHAT THE F**K HAPPEN."
Boosie also let out a picture of a man who allegedly started the chaos. "Do ANYONE KNOW THE NAME OF THIS MAN? CASH REWARD AVAILABLE NOW ‼️SEND ALL INFORMATION TO [email protected] HE WENT GOT THE GUNS TO ASSAULT US Need this coward NAME," he declared in the caption.
This arrived after TMZ reported that booker MN2S Corp. and promoter We Are Live Entertainment have filed a $525,000 lawsuit against Boosie. They accused the musician of inciting the brawl that took place at Atlanta's State Farm Arena in October.
In the suit, the companies claimed that they booked Boosie for a total of $150,000 for five different appearances alongside 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, Jeezy (Young Jeezy) and others. They additionally noted that they gave him a $50,000 deposit in good faith prior to the first show.
However, the companies alleged that Boosie demanded more cash from We Are Live president, Leonard Rowe. Since Leonard refused his request, the "Wipe Me Down" spitter allegedly threatened to sabotage the show.
Boosie himself was arrested following the fight and was hit with charges of criminal damage to property, inciting a riot, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass. However, he only spent a night in jail as he's released on bond.
