When life throws curveballs, some choose to dive into faith, and that’s exactly what Tootie Raww, the 21-year-old son of rap icon Boosie Badazz, did with a life-changing baptism on May 9, 2025.
Torrence Hatch Jr., better known as Tootie, took a plunge into spiritual waters, leaving his father teary-eyed and fans buzzing across social media. This vibrant moment isn’t just a personal win for the young rapper—it’s a headline-grabbing step toward a fresh start, blending faith, family, and a touch of Southern swagger.
Boosie, never one to hold back, poured his heart out on Instagram, sharing,
“MY SON @tootie_raww4x
GOT BAPTIZED THIS PUT TEARS N MY EYES HE BEEN SAYING HE WAS GO DO IT THEY DEVIL ABOUT TO COME N ALL KIND OF WAYS TO TEST YOUR FAITH ITS ALL UP FROM HERE JUST TELL GOD WHAT U WANT LOVE U SON @donkspeaks
MY SON BEEN GOING THROUGH IT LATELY .”
His post paints a picture of a proud dad watching his son rise above struggles, with the baptism marking a turning point for Tootie, who’s been wrestling with personal challenges.
The baptism, likely a classic water dunk, came with soul-stirring prayers, as heard in a video transcript Boosie shared. The prayer rang out,
“Father God, we cover right now in the mighty name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, have your way as they go into that water, Lord God. Let them come out different, Lord God. We thank you that there is no weapon formed or prosper against them.”
These words carry the weight of hope and transformation, wrapping Tootie in a spiritual shield as he steps into this new chapter.
Tootie Raww, born August 6, 2003, is no stranger to the spotlight. At 21, he’s carving out his own lane as a rapper, with over 190,000 followers on Instagram and a growing catalog, including his 2018 debut Raq Baby. But growing up as Boosie’s son comes with its own set of challenges. Tootie’s faced public scrutiny, from a 2022 DNA test drama where Boosie celebrated his son dodging fatherhood (and Boosie avoiding grandpa status) to heated feuds with rappers like Kodak Black and NBA YoungBoy.
Previously, Tootie also struggled with a marijuana addiction, a concern Boosie has voiced publicly, urging his son to steer clear of habits that could derail his path. Yet, this baptism feels like Tootie’s way of hitting reset, trading old battles for a renewed focus on faith and growth.
Boosie, a father of nine with a family as colorful as his rhymes, keeps fans hooked with his larger-than-life persona. His kids—Ivy Ray, Lyric Beyonce, Toriana, Iviona, Michael Jordan, Tarlaysia, Torrence Jr. (Tootie), Laila Jean, and his newest daughter, born in late 2024 to fiancée Rajel Nelson—hail from six different mothers, making family gatherings a lively affair.
The arrival of his ninth child, a baby girl, added extra joy to the Badazz clan, with Boosie beaming over his growing legacy. But it’s not all smooth sailing. Boosie’s had public spats, like his clash with daughter Iviona over her sexuality, showing the messy, human side of fame. Through it all, his support for Tootie’s baptism shines as a moment of unity, proving family and faith can steal the show.
What makes Tootie’s story pop is how it mirrors a wave of young artists getting real about their spiritual side, trading headlines for hallelujahs. From dodging drama to facing his marijuana struggles head-on, Tootie’s baptism is a bold move that screams resilience.
