Boosie Badazz has received his sentence in his federal gun case.
On Friday (Jan. 9), the Goat Talk rapper was handed a time-served sentence along with three years of supervised release, according to court reporter Meghann Cuniff.
Cuniff also noted that Boosie will not be going to prison, regardless of the presidential pardon he has been pursuing since 2024.
Ahead of Friday’s sentencing hearing in San Diego, Boosie pushed for probation and community service instead of what his team described as “unnecessary incarceration.” His attorney, Meghan Blanco, argued that Boosie had already faced “significant punishment” in connection with the case.
Blanco framed the matter as one involving “no identifiable victims.” A major point of contention between the defense and prosecutors centered on how each side interpreted what allegedly happened during Boosie’s arrest, which led to him being charged as a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
While prosecutors claimed Boosie “yelled and continually threatened the safety of his security detail,” Blanco countered that her client may have been dealing with “confusion” and “agitation” caused by low blood sugar. Boosie is diabetic.
“[Boosie] is a man who rose from extraordinary adversity, contributed meaningfully to his community, and has taken responsibility for a serious but isolated lapse in judgment,” Blanco wrote in court documentsr this week. “These history and characteristics strongly support a sentence that is individualized, proportional, and oriented toward continued rehabilitation rather than unnecessary incarceration.”
Boosie’s sentencing had originally been scheduled for November last year but was later postponed until this month.
