Boosie Badazz, the Baton Rouge rapper, has thirteen solo studio albums, seven collaborative albums, and 44 mixtapes. He is also the father of nine biological children with seven different women. Thanks to his active presence on social media, his family life frequently spills into the public eye. In June 2022, Boosie found himself at the center of a paternity controversy involving his son, Tootie Raww, that ended with a celebratory twist.
The drama began when an Instagram influencer named Ramya claimed that Tootie Raww, whose real name is Torrence Hatch Jr., was the father of her child. The situation dramatically turned when Ramya appeared at Tootie Raww’s high school graduation with the baby in tow, surprising the Hatch family. Boosie, never one to shy away from speaking his mind, expressed skepticism about the claim and demanded a DNA test to settle the matter.
“I wasn’t about to let this slide,”
Boosie declared in an Instagram post.
“We needed to know the truth.”
The DNA test results, unveiled in early June 2022, delivered a clear verdict: the child was not Tootie Raww’s. For Boosie, this meant he would not be stepping into the role of grandfather just yet. Overjoyed by the outcome, he took to Instagram to share his relief with fans. In a video, he exclaimed,
“Just found out it ain’t my son’s baby. I’m not a grandpa!”
He even invited followers to join him at a club for free drinks to celebrate the news.
However, Boosie didn’t stop at the celebration. He stirred the pot further by suggesting that Ramya might have kidnapped someone else’s child and attempted to pass it off as Tootie Raww’s.
“She might have kidnapped that baby,” he said in the same video. “I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m just glad it’s not my son’s.”
While unverified and lacking evidence, this bold accusation fueled the buzzing social media conversation surrounding the incident.
Some fans lauded Boosie for protecting his son and insisting on proof, while others criticized him for turning a private family matter into a public spectacle. The controversy fits a familiar pattern for Boosie, whose large family and past paternity disputes have often made headlines. Tootie Raww, an aspiring rapper in his own right, kept a low profile amid the chaos. In a brief Instagram statement, he thanked his supporters and shifted focus back to his music career.
Ramya, meanwhile, has remained silent on Boosie’s claims. Her Instagram account, active during the incident, has since been switched to private, leaving her side of the story untold. For Boosie, the DNA test result was a win worth celebrating—a moment of clarity in the often turbulent world of his family life.
“I’m just glad we got the truth,” he concluded. “Now, we can move on.”
