Reports of Miami underground rapper Boobie Lootaveli’s death began spreading widely on August 25, 2026, after No Jumper posted on X that the artist known for collaborations with Pouya and Fat Nick “has sadly passed away.” The post quickly drew thousands of likes, replies, and shares, triggering an immediate wave of tributes from fans across X, Reddit, YouTube, and SoundCloud.
Lootaveli, identified in music sources as Habib Suz and born March 14, 1993, built a recognizable presence in South Florida’s underground scene. Genius later updated his artist page to list the lifespan as March 14, 1993 – August 25, 2026. Fans pointed to his gritty tracks and energetic style on songs including “Pe$Os,” “Rey Mysterio,” and “Sit Ups,” along with joint projects such as the Pouya & Boobie Lootaveli Greatest Hits volumes. He was also linked to the Buffet Boys and All But 6 circles and described by listeners as a humorous, larger-than-life presence with nicknames like Speedboat Randy and Big BOOWOP.
No Jumper’s announcement, timestamped around midday on August 25, served as the main public spark. Fan comments under the post and on older music videos and podcast episodes (including an All But 6 appearance) repeatedly called him a “legend,” “funny guy,” and “real one.” Discussions on platforms like Reddit referenced possible earlier private confirmation circulating in the scene, but no direct public statement from family, management, or closest collaborators such as Pouya or Fat Nick appeared in available reporting at the time.
Lootaveli’s profile grew through independent releases, features, and the South Florida SoundCloud-era network rather than major-label mainstream success. Collaborations with Pouya, Fat Nick, Ramirez, and others, plus solo work including the 2022 project Life on Our Terms and later releases into 2025–2026, cemented his place among listeners who valued raw street lyricism mixed with dark, energetic production and personal storytelling. He remained active with freestyles, videos, and podcast appearances in the years leading up to the reports.
Fans flocked to leave their condolences, mentioning some of the memorable lyrics, jokes, and personality of Speedboat Randy. Quotes like “Speedboat Randy forever” and the idea to keep his songs alive demonstrate that many people were fond of the rapper even despite the low level of his popularity. The sources mentioned no tributes to Speedboat Randy by Pouya, Fat Nick or any other mentioned artist from his environment.
The circumstances of Speedboat Randy’s death, place where he died, and the cause have not been revealed by now. All claims made on secondary sources and social media concerning his personal life are questionable and cannot be regarded as the reliable ones.
