Boosie Badazz couldn’t contain his joy when Fat Joe shouted him out from the stage at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards.
The annual awards show was taped in Atlanta on Tuesday night (October 3) ahead of its broadcast on BET on October 10. Joey Crack held down MC duties for the second year in a row and showed Boosie some love at one point – which was more than appreciated.
“Fat Joe just gave me a shout out!” the rapper exclaimed in a video posted to Instagram shortly afterward. “Fat Joe know what I be going through. Fat Joe just gave me a shout out! Real n-ggas do real things. I’m giving Fat Joe all the love tonight! Fat Joe just gave me a shout out!”

Boosie Badazz is back on Instagram after yet another ban last month, which came amid a back-and-forth with his former artist Yung Bleu.
On September 11, the Baton Rogue rapper took to Twitter to explain why his IG profile was no longer showing up online. He claimed that Yung Bleu (“Rainbow Bleu”) and his brother, TQ (“the cable guy”), got him blocked from the social media platform with backing from EMPIRE CEO Ghazi (“they master”).
“RAINBOW BLEU N THE CABLE GUY GOT MY IG SHUT DOWN,” he wrote. “THE SNAKES [snake emoji] HAVE STRUCK AGAIN RAINBOW BLEU , THE CABLE GUY N THEY MASTER THEY GOT ME OFF INSTAGRAM.”
He also posted a video informing his followers that he will be going live on YouTube moving forward, even though he set up a new Instagram account as well.
The week prior, Boosie Badazz’s beef with Bleu escalated to a whole new level when he questioned his former artist’s sexuality.
The pair have been embroiled in a financial dispute for over a year based on claims that Bleu and his current label, EMPIRE, owe Boosie a significant amount of money. Additionally, the 40-year-old alleged his signature was forged to release Bleu from Bad Azz Music Syndicate, allowing the latter to join a different label and distribution company.
The latest public back-and-forth between the two took place in early September, when Yung Bleu posted a photo on his Instagram Stories of $1million in cash he’d earned from his Love Scars Tour, which angered his former mentor and label boss.
The following day, Boosie took to Instagram with a video to refute Bleu’s claims he’d struck his own mother, then turned to Bleu’s recent issues with his wife as evidence of his sexuality.
“WE SHOULDA NEW BEFORE SHE BROUGHT IT TO LIGHT,” Boosie said about Bleu’s wife labeling him a “sissy.” “A WIFE KNOWS HER HUSBAND NO [cap] COME OUT !! I KNOW THAT CHICK ON THE PLANE WAS LIKE IS THIS N-GGA NOT RIGHT [smiley emoji] THEN U Want yo wife to look like a Tomboy !! ITS EASY TO SEE !! ITS OK TO COME OUT WE R ALL EQUAL WE JUST LIKE DIFFERENT THINGS !! #facts”
So anytime tiny alcoholic tough butt gets upset he is just going to start calling people gay? Is that really his only move? He gets famous of a stolen song, and yells ignorant shit on the internet, and people think he is really about the streets and culture? Come on people. How many times does someone get released from prison before y’all do the math and figure out they’re a snitch? How many times does someone talk about other people being gay, when before y’all realise he is talking about what he wants. How many hoes does this guy have to hire so sexually assault 12 year olds before y’all are going to realise somethings not right with this really ugly tiny man?
I never could figure out why he did not get investigated for those claims he made about those kids & the prostitutes. It was abuse.
