Rap newcomer Mingo Baby made headlines last month after tatooing “Free Lil Boosie” on his face.
Incarcerated rapper Lil Boosie has a fan in a fellow MC, Mingo Baby. The indie rhymer, signed to Hoodii Boy Entertainment, showcased his appreciation for the locked up entertainer by inking his face with a Free Lil Boosie tattoo. In a two-minute video clip, Mingo Baby flaunts his jewelry — a tiny cross chain — and sips on a bottle of store bought lean — cough syrup — while explaining his reasons for getting the surprising facial art over his right eye — check the photo of it below. “Boosie my motherf—in’ n—-,” he shouts. “I done rocked shows with this n—-, man. He one hundred. I love that n—-. I love his pain, b… I take the pain away. I ask God to take the pain away. I pray every day. I don’t give a f— what ya’ll think, man.” (The Boom Box)
In late November, Boosie was sentenced to eight years behind bars for drug smuggling.
Now, Boosie’s lawyer tells us … the rapper is happy with the resolution — because Boosie is confident officials will allow him to participate in a drug rehab program so he can beat his addiction to codeine and other drugs. Boosie — who’s also facing 1st degree murder charges in an unrelated case — released a statement to TMZ … saying, “Don’t worry about me I am getting help with my drug addiction and I am accepting full responsibility for the choice I made.” Boosie adds, “I am going to fight the false murder charge till the end. Love you all.” (TMZ)
A couple years ago, Boosie was indicted on murder charges dating back to October 2009.
Torrance “Lil Boosie” Hatch was indicted in the October 21st shooting death of Terry Boyd. Michael Louding and Adrian Pittman are also indicted on first degree charges on Boyd’s murder. East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore says all three of the alleged killers meet the criteria of first degree charges. Moore said that the death penalty is not out of the question. Hatch and girlfriend Walnita Decuir along with a former Dixon Correctional Institute guard and an inmate were also indicted on drug charges. (WAFB News)
