Baton Rouge Icon Boosie Badazz Celebrates 44th Birthday and Enduring Legacy

Today marks the 44th birthday of Baton Rouge’s own Boosie Badazz. It’s not like he’s having his party just to have birthday cake. Days before his special day, his fiancĂ©e surprised him with something that had him jumping for joy in their yard.

In a video shared around November 11, Nelson rolled out a custom “Boosie Network” golf cart, then handed over a positive pregnancy test in a presentation box and a baby onesie reading

“You can stop asking now.”

The couple is expecting their second child together. Their daughter Sevyn Emerald arrived in April 2025. Outlets including AllHipHop report this will be Boosie’s tenth child overall.

“This the best birthday present ever,”

said Boosie when he saw the gift on his birthday, per videos of his reaction to the gift that circulated around online platforms.

The artist, whose full name is Torrance Ivy Hatch Jr., was born on November 14, 1982, in Baton Rouge and created his own fame with hardcore southern rap. The artist’s life got an unexpected twist when Terry Boyd, a close friend, was murdered in 2009. The prosecutors accused Boosie of the crime and of participating in a murder-for-hire scheme, putting him on trial for first-degree murder in 2010. The artist was acquitted by the jury on May 11, 2012, once the key witness retracted his earlier statement. However, Boosie served time in prison in other drug-related cases and was released in 2014.

The federal case of 2023 regarding the firearms resulted in the end of his supervised release and community service along with the payment of the fine in January 2026 without getting any prison sentence.

In November 2015, Boosie informed his fans about his kidney cancer. In December, he had the cancerous part of the kidney removed in surgery. He later stated that he recovered completely, giving a report of his condition in 2021. The artist has been suffering from Type 1 diabetes since childhood and has been open about the daily struggle despite recovery from cancer.

Boosie made his way in music by songs capturing the realities of street life and the sound of Louisiana. Boosie has been releasing his music independently and has produced a biographical movie about himself titled “My Struggle” in 2021. Although his Boosie Fade hairstyle is associated with him now in barbershops, it was somebody else’s video that became the base of the “Bruh wanted a Boosie fade” meme in.
