by | Apr 2, 2017 | HIP HOP & RAP

Rapper Boosie Badazz (FTK Lil Boosie) was forced to cancel a performance at a Dinwiddie car show last night after gun fire erupted in the crowd.

The sold out motorcycle rally at Virginia Motorsports Park, called the Big 5 State Bike Rally, featured Boosie as a performer but was cut short when gun fire broke out.

Local police said two people were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries but no one else was hurt or killed and no arrests had been made.

Boosie took to instagram to express his frustration with the incident.

“Kinda pissed off, I was supposed to be in Dinwiddie at the car show… [people] start shooting, start shooting again,” he said in the minute long video. “I wont be allowed to go. Now all these girls walking in tell ‘I ain’t going to the Boosie show, they shooting too much’… bitch I’m mad.”

Check out the video below:

Boosie, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, started in the late 90’s at the age of 14 with help from his cousin Young Bleed, C-Loc, and the group Concentration Camp.

He spent five years of an eight-year sentence related to drug charges in the late 00s but came out to a deal with Atlantic Records. Check out more about Boosie’s journey below cause it’s kind of amazing.
