A concert that was meant to feature Boosie Badazz and other artists like Rob49 was tragically cut short after two men were shot dead on Saturday (August 10). Moreover, Boosie was headlining “The Pull Up Car Show” in Pacific Junction, Iowa, but before the concerts were set to begin, a shooting broke out at the event’s parking lot. Both fatal victims were in their late twenties and from Omaha, Nebraska, and the circumstances or motives behind this incident remain very unclear. The “Letter To The LGBT” rapper even took to Instagram after the fact, expressing sadness over the show being shut down and over what happened. Our prayers go out to the victims’ loved ones.
However, Boosie also spoke about waiting for his performance for hours, so it seems like he wasn’t properly informed of the shooting that occurred. He even asked fans to keep the party going with him at a nightclub, but it seems like he wasn’t very successful in these efforts (we’ll see if any club clips emerge). Back to the shooting though, according to TMZ, authorities relayed that they began an investigation into the fatal attack. The Baton Rouge rapper has had a bit of bad luck as of late when it comes to his proximity to crime, as he also witnessed police arresting Lil Reese in a since-cleared case.
Boosie Reacts To Concert Shutdown After Shooting
Elsewhere, Boosie recently spoke on how seeing Lil Uzi Vert’s flamboyant Marc Jacobs campaign appearance rubbed him the wrong way. “I was pissed,” he told DJ Vlad. “Before [they were] all doing that I was kinda f***ing with [them]. I just don’t agree with all [their], like, s**t these [people] be doing out here. How’s somebody ever gonna raise a strong young man when you looking like a strong young woman? All these men who need to do that, your child looking at you. One day your child might ask you, ‘Daddy, why you got on nail polish and all this stuff like Mommy?’ What you do follows you.”
Meanwhile, he also had questions about Dwyane Wade’s sexuality after the launch of his nail care brand. “I don’t even got to say nothing,” he remarked on VladTV. “The world is going to say it. I don’t know, I mean… He part of the movement. I mean, I don’t like to say too much about those people because I don’t want that to be in my motherf***ing… When people think of me, they think of that. A lot of people do, but… I just, you know, he do what he do. He feel like that’s how he support his… It make me shake my head. Because, you know, I don’t like that, bro. When… I don’t know. He might be living through… I don’t know, I don’t know.”
