Boosie Badazz Drops the Legal Hammer: Threatens Lawsuits Against Unauthorized Music Sampling
Boosie Badazz, the rap sensation known for his no-nonsense attitude, threw down the gauntlet, threatening legal action against artists who have allegedly been dipping their creative fingers into his music cookie jar without permission. The specific target of his latest call-out? None other than Rod Wave.
Boosie, with a face as serious as a judge in a courtroom, accused Rod Wave of sampling his tunes without giving the proper nod. The “Wipe Me Down” artist didn’t mince words, making it clear that he’s not taking this lightly. This move follows Boosie’s previous legal rumblings against Kodak Black, where he also waved the copyright infringement flag.
The Instagram live session was akin to a virtual courtroom, with Boosie acting as both the judge and the plaintiff. He addressed Rod Wave directly, making it crystal clear that this was a serious matter that he wasn’t willing to sweep under the rug. Boosie emphasized the importance of artists respecting each other’s intellectual property, sending a message that copyright infringement won’t slide on his watch.

This isn’t the first time Boosie has found himself in the copyright infringement ring. Just a while back, he pointed the same legal finger at Kodak Black, alleging that the fellow rapper had taken a page, or perhaps a beat, from Boosie’s book without the proper paperwork. It seems Boosie is becoming somewhat of a copyright watchdog in the rap game, ensuring that everyone plays by the rules.

Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – Boosie Badazz isn’t about to let his music be used like a free sample at a grocery store.
