Back in January 2026, Boosie Badazz was sentenced to three years of probation in his federal gun case, a result that was widely seen as a win for the rapper. However, journalist Meghann Cuniff now says the situation has taken a new turn.
According to Cuniff, “His probation officer wants him arrested and imprisoned after he was booked in Houston last month for aggravated assault.” She also shared multiple court documents, including one that reads: “Mr. Hatch (Boosie Bad Azz) was scheduled as a headliner at Dome Nightclub May 23 and 24, 2026, from 10pm-2am. Mr. Hatch did not request approval from his assigned probation officer nor the court for out of district travel.”
Additional court filings state: “Mr. Hatch appears before the Court on serious allegation involving a violent offense of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. As such, his overall adjustment to supervision is considered poor.”
If the case moves forward, Boosie could face between 18 and 24 months behind bars. For now, the judge has declined to issue a bench warrant. After the reports surfaced online, Boosie took to social media to speak out about the situation.
Boosie later took to X to push back against the allegations, sharing a lengthy statement in his defense. According to the rapper, he had been granted permission to travel.
“Just talked to my PO n he found the email for me to travel to Houston. He said it was at the bottom of the paper under the flights n he overlooked it,” Boosie wrote. He added that his probation officer told him the trip would not be considered a violation. “I’ve had over 50 shows since being on paper and I’ve went through the right process to notify my PO on every show.”
The rapper also said his drug tests have remained “crystal clean,” insisting he isn’t “stupid” enough to jeopardize his future. “My probation officer has been fair to me throughout this process. It’s people over him who have problems with me.”
Boosie went on to claim he was asked to sign paperwork allowing officials to record their conversations, but he refused, writing, “hell no.” He also said he has completed “several hours of community service” and maintained that he is “doing great on federal probation.”
To back up his claims, Boosie later shared what he says is proof that he received approval to travel to Houston. Check it out below.
