Boosie Badazz Facing Felony Charges After Being Arrested
BOOSIE
On Monday afternoon Boosie Badazz (real name Torrence Hatch), along with his bodyguard Antonio Allen, was arrested following a traffic stop in Newnan, Georgia. He is reportedly facing felony drug and firearm charges after inves- tigators found marijuana and a loaded gun in their car.
The stop occurred after a deputy, Sgt. Jeff Bugg, said he saw the white Dodge Charger they were driving in swerve in and out of its lane. Bugg also said that their Charger nearly sideswiped a vehicle, and he claims he got a strong whiff of marijuana during the actual traffic stop.
A search of the vehicle al- legedly yielded a bag with about 11 grams of what's believed to be pot in it, along with a loaded 9mm handgun. In the center console investigators say they also found a bag with $20,160 in cash and a vape pen they think contains THC oil.

As fans continue to mourn his death, Nipsey’s home- town is paying homage to him.

a track off his upcoming album, Born To Rap. The song they are jamming to sounds like Nipsey’s vocals, so it’s possible the late rapper will be featured on the album.
The three hip-hop legends have been very outspoken re- garding their sadness over the death of Nipsey, and the need to stop violence in the streets.
