Boosie Addresses Hookah Assault Charge & Calls Claims A “Money Grab”

Boosie Badazz called his aggravated assault charges a money grab, questioning the security guard’s criminal background.

Baton Rouge rapper Boosie Badazz addressed the aggravated assault charges against him in a direct statement, calling the case a “money grab” and questioning the credibility of the security guard involved in the incident.

Boosie appeared in Houston court on Monday after allegedly hitting a security guard in the back of the head with a glass hookah last week.

The Baton Rouge rapper allegedly grabbed a glass hookah base and struck the guard during an early morning confrontation on May 24, 2026, according to KHOU.

The situation started around 2 A.M. when a woman was being escorted out of the club near closing time. She got upset after being told she couldn’t use the restroom because the establishment was shutting down.

When she hit the security guard in the face, he bent down to pick up her dropped cellphone and keys.

That’s when Boosie allegedly stepped in and hit him in the head with the hookah base, causing a serious injury that required immediate hospital treatment, where he received eight staples in his head.

A second security guard witnessed the whole thing and told police he saw the rapper holding the broken glass hookah base while yelling at the injured guard.

Both guards identified Boosie by his stage name and later confirmed his identity from photographs. Club promoters and owners also identified him, giving investigators multiple witnesses to the alleged assault.

Rather than shy away from the allegations, the rapper came forward with his own account of events and raised serious questions about his accuser’s background.

The rapper’s defense strategy centers on the security guard’s criminal history. According to Boosie, the man has served time for armed robbery, making him an unlikely candidate for legitimate security work.

“It’s basically a money grab, man. It’s a money grab, bro. This what you go through as an entertainer,” Boosie said in his statement. “This guy wasn’t even supposed to be security in the first place, man. This n#### done 17, 18 years for aggravated armed robbery with a deadly weapon. He just got caught at the border a couple years back smuggling women out the country and in the country. Just got off federal paper.”

Boosie handled the situation methodically after learning about the warrant.

“You know, when I first found out about the warrant a couple days ago, I contacted my PO. I let them know what was going on,” he explained. This proactive approach shows he didn’t try to evade authorities or hide from the charges.

Despite the legal trouble, Boosie maintained his composure and reassured his supporters.

The rapper’s next court appearance is scheduled for the end of September. Until then, he’s focused on moving forward and keeping his supporters informed about his situation.
