Boosie was granted two honorary doctorates in Florida as recognition for his influence on music and Hip-Hop culture on May 10, 2025.

During a ceremony at Kingdom Heritage University in Saint Petersburg, Florida, Boosie received two honorary music composition doctorate degrees, highlighting his significant impact in the world of Hip-Hop and music creation.

Torrence Hatch Jr., also known as Boosie, was bestowed with an honorary Ph.D. in Music Composition and a second honorary doctorate by the university for his contributions to the music industry on the aforementioned date.

This event marked a unique academic acknowledgment for Boosie, a personality typically known for his bold lyrics and street image rather than academic achievements. Bishop Dr. Michael Bates Sr., speaking at the ceremony, praised Boosie for his influence and declared him as Dr. Hatch, recognizing his journey and purpose.

In a touching moment, a visibly moved Boosie expressed his gratitude to the attendees for the honor, stating that he had never received such recognition before.

The faith-based Kingdom Heritage University emphasized Boosie's transformation and growth in their decision to honor him, leading to a jubilant reaction on social media with supporters and fans congratulating the newly dubbed Dr. Boosie.
