While hip-hop feuds often play out through diss tracks and social media jabs, the ongoing conflict between rapper Boosie Badazz and internet personality Charleston White has escalated into a dangerous domain involving law enforcement and family members.
The tension, which became public around 2022, reached a particularly volatile point in March 2023 when White admitted to reporting Boosie’s son, Tootie, to Texas authorities, resulting in the young man’s arrest on weapons and drug charges.
White’s aggressive tactics have included multiple threats of legal action against Boosie, openly declaring intentions to have the rapper imprisoned, and making inflammatory remarks about his family. The conflict initially sparked when Boosie criticized Kanye West’s White Lives Matter shirt, prompting White’s disapproval and subsequent derogatory comments.
Charleston White has weaponized the legal system against Boosie while verbally attacking his family with reckless determination.
In one particularly contentious incident, White contacted the FBI after accusing Boosie of threatening a promoter, furthering his self-proclaimed mission to see the rapper behind bars. This incident generated widespread online condemnation, with many labeling White as a snitch and rat for involving law enforcement.
Boosie has responded with remarkable restraint, recently making it clear that he has no interest in receiving an apology from White. “I don’t want no apology from that man,” Boosie stated firmly, highlighting the seriousness of White’s actions that put his freedom at risk.
The rapper emphasized how imprisonment would devastate his children, condemning White’s celebration of such a possibility. The dispute is particularly concerning for Boosie, whose sync deals could be jeopardized by legal troubles, threatening an important revenue stream.
The feud has created significant divisions within the hip-hop community. DJ Vlad publicly criticized streamer Adin Ross for maintaining loyalty to White, while T.I.’s son King reportedly helped bail out Boosie’s son following the arrest orchestrated by White.
These actions have earned White the derogatory labels of “rat” and “snitch” among many in the community.
Despite the persistent provocations, Boosie maintains his focus on supporting his family and preserving his freedom. “I’m still here. I’m still taking care of my kids,” Boosie declared defiantly, refusing to be baited into actions that might jeopardize his liberty.
This stance has only strengthened Boosie’s reputation for resilience, even as the public spectacle of their feud continues to unfold across social media platforms and music news outlets. As a songwriter, Boosie relies on proper royalty collection through performance rights organizations to monetize his music catalog during these challenging personal circumstances.
