Rapper Boosie Badazz’s show in Akron, Ohio turned out to be a fateful day. On March 10, 2025, a shooting incident at his concert left two individuals injured. During his performance at FieldHouse Lounge, a fight erupted, leading to an unknown man firing multiple shots and injuring the victims before escaping.
Videos showing the moment when the incident happened went viral on social media. As seen in a post shared by the Instagram account "@livebitez," a bodyguard tried to protect Badazz when the shots were fired. An internet user (@ufogang_bish) commented:
“Grab bro like the president!”
Netizens praised Boosie Badazz’s bodyguard for his prompt action.
“Wow! Body guard knew the assignment! Shiiiid he keeping his job,” an Instagram user (@betrue2ufirst) wrote.
“The body guard snatched Boosie up like he was his child! That’s what I’m talking about! He was doing his job! Praying for everyone affected,” a netizen (@luv_latisha) reacted.
“Protect Boosie at all costs!!” an online commentator (@angelreeseupdate) mentioned.
While many online users questioned the security of the place, others were relieved to know that Boosie Badazz was safe.
“He Know what shots sound like that stop drop and roll was quick,” another online user (@queenbullbrown) pointed out.
“How did they get in with guns hid in there boxers? Security failed them. Glad Boosie ok. Praying for the victims,” a social media user (@joann.laney.547) asked.
“Glad he’s Safe this sh*t must stop! immediately it’s hurting family members Loves one’s. For nothing,” a netizen (@sha_boogie_bklyn) pointed out.
The shooter reportedly entered Boosie Badazz’s show through a blind spot
After the incident, off-duty officers providing security at the event requested backup shortly after 2:00 a.m. local time. Two men, aged 18 and 36, suffered gunshot wounds and were hospitalized in critical condition.
As mentioned by Deputy Chief Michael Miller, an incident took place while Boosie Badazz was performing on stage. He suspected the shooter entered through a blind spot or side door, bypassing security at the main entrance, where attendees are typically scanned and patted down.
The suspect escaped the venue. Two shell casings were recovered from the incident scene. FieldHouse Lounge shared a statement on its Instagram page writing:
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident that took place at our establishment last night. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and everyone affected by this event.”
The post continued:
“To our loyal customers and supporters, we sincerely apologize for the fear and distress this incident has caused. The safety and well-being of our guests are always our top priority, and we are committed to doing everything in our power to prevent something like this from ever happening again.”
Boosie Badazz has unfortunately had similar incidents at his concerts in the past. In August 2024, two men lost their lives during a performance in Pacific Junction, Iowa, though he distanced himself from the situation.
He was also linked to a 2006 shooting where five people were injured at a concert he shared with Plies. However, Boosie later clarified there was no feud between them, despite rumors suggesting otherwise.
