Boosie Badazz has come under criticism for launching a scholarship in honor of Caleb Wilson. The Southern University student passed away in an alleged hazing incident. Wilson's parents claim they were not informed or consulted about the use of their son's name.
The Louisiana Attorney General, Liz Murrill, has also spoken against the initiative. She says that the public was misled into thinking Boosie was contributing to an official university fund. Instead, the scholarship was connected to his Boosie Bash festival.
Boosie Badazz has now responded to the backlash. He has called the reaction from Wilson's parents an "ultimate betrayal." He insists his intentions were good and that proceeds from the event were meant to support the scholarship. Boosie Badazz responded on X, saying:
"ITS SAD FOR THIS LAWYERn FAMILY TO SAY I PROMOTED MY EVENT OFF SOMEONES PASSING MY EVENT WAS PROMOTED ON EVENTBRITE SINCE NOV 14 .THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED A WEEK BEFORE MY EVENT WAS TO TAKE PLACE HOW THE FUCK CAN I CAPITALIZE OFF SOMEONE DEATH FOR A CONCERT.'THAT AINT ME.'"
He further added:
"A DEATH OF A STUDENT WONT HELP A CONCERT IT WOULD HURT A CONCERT I WAS ASK TO HELP THE SITUATION N THATS WHAT I WAS DOING ONCE I MADE IT HOME. BUT FOR YALL TO SAY THAT YALL ARE TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING TO HELP YALL IS A SLAP N MY FACE N 'COMPLETELY WRONG WHEN KEEPING IT REAL GOES WRONG SMH BR IM DONE.ANOTHER MONEY GRAB THIS IS The ULTIMATE BETRAYAL SMH"
Many fans reacted to this post and took to X to express their opinions.
"QUIT TRYNNA HELP PEOPLE!" said a fan on X.
"It's always our own," said another fan on X.
"Smh …. They doing you wrong hatch," said a fan.
"They always messing with you bro," remarked a fan.
"Tellem get they shit right!!!" exclaimed a fan.
"I’m so tired of them fwu boosie . God bless you amen," said another fan.
How has Boosie Badazz defended his actions?
Boosie Badazz has stood by his scholarship initiative. He says his goal was to help students in Caleb Wilson’s memory. He insists that the festival's proceeds were intended for the scholarship fund.
He has called the backlash unfair. He believes he is being attacked despite trying to do something positive. He said he never meant any harm and was only trying to honor Wilson’s legacy.
Boosie also says that he is open to talking with the Wilson family. He wants to clear up misunderstandings and make things right. However, he has also stated that he feels betrayed by their reaction.
Why are Caleb Wilson's parents upset?
Wilson's parents have made it clear they did not approve of the scholarship. They say they were under the impression that Boosie was donating to an existing Southern University fund. Instead, the scholarship was created as part of Boosie Bash, which they see as a for-profit event.
They have also objected to the use of their son's name and image in promotions. They believe Boosie is using their tragedy for publicity. The family has demanded that all references to Caleb be removed from marketing materials.
According to TMZ Hip Hop, Liz Murrill has suggested that legal action may be taken. She has called Boosie’s actions a misrepresentation of the situation. The parents are considering all options to prevent further use of their son’s name.
The feud between Boosie Badazz and Caleb Wilson's family continues. The Wilsons need the name of their son taken from the scholarship. Boosie believes he is being targeted unjustly.
The Louisiana Attorney General has cautioned of potential legal repercussions. Whether or not the scholarship will proceed is uncertain.
