Boosie Badazz expressed his intention to take legal action against the Louisiana Attorney General and others after being threatened with legal consequences regarding his Caleb Wilson Memorial Scholarship.
The Baton Rouge rapper announced the scholarship during the Boosie Bash Festival at Southern University to honor the late student, Caleb Wilson, who tragically passed away in a hazing incident. However, Wilson's parents raised objections, stating that they were not informed beforehand about the scholarship and did not authorize the use of their son's name for promotional purposes.
In response, Attorney General Liz Murrill criticized Boosie for allegedly exploiting Wilson's tragedy for commercial gain, demanding the removal of Wilson's name from all promotional materials. Boosie defended himself, denying any profit-seeking motives and emphasizing his intent to support Wilson's family.
Despite Murrill's legal threats and the disapproval of Wilson's family, Boosie highlighted his positive impact on the Baton Rouge community and emphasized the peaceful nature of his festival. He expressed disappointment over the situation and offered a donation to the Wilson family.
Furthermore, questions were raised regarding the allocation of proceeds from the Boosie Bash and the nature of Boosie's involvement in the scholarship fund. Boosie hinted at the possibility of relocating the festival following the controversy surrounding the scholarship.
