Boosie Badazz’s federal probation supervisors say he should spend a year and a half in prison after his most recent arrest for allegedly assaulting someone with a glass hookah.
The rapper (Torence Hatch) was exposed to possible prison time last year after pleading guilty in federal court to illegally owning a gun after earlier felony convictions. In January, however, a judge exercised leniency and sentenced him to three years of supervised release instead.

Now, the U.S. Probation Office says Boosie has “failed to capitalize on the opportunity afforded by the court.” The agency claims in a Wednesday (June 24) petition that Boosie violated his supervised release by allegedly smashing a man in the head with a glass hookah at a Houston nightclub in May.
Boosie is facing a state-level aggravated assault charge for that alleged incident in Texas. Generally, it’s considered a violation of supervised release for anybody to commit another state, local or federal crime while on probation.
The Probation Office further alleges that Boosie broke the rules by making that trip to Texas from his home state of Georgia without permission, as well as by testing positive for marijuana, a federally illegal substance, during a recent drug screening. Because of all this, authorities say Boosie should have his no-jail sentence revoked and replaced with an 18-month prison term.
“His conduct demonstrates a disregard for the court’s authority and unwillingness to comply with the expectations established to facilitate a successful transition to the community,” reads the Wednesday court filing. “Additionally, his history reflects longstanding involvement in a criminal lifestyle beginning at a young age. This lifestyle has continued to expose him to high-risk situations and criminogenic influences, including violence, weapons possession, antisocial peer associations, and illegal substance use.”

The Probation Office says this recommended federal sentence should be consecutive with any possible punishment he receives in the Houston assault case. Boosie is currently out on bail in that matter and next scheduled to appear in court in September.
Boosie denied violating his supervised release in a Wednesday post on X, in which the rapper said he did have permission to travel to Houston, and that he’s been “crystal clean” of drugs since beginning probation.
“IM NOT STUPID. MY probation officer has been fair to me throughout this process. it’s the people over him who have problems with me,” wrote Boosie in the post. “I will not sit back n let these people drag my name. I have several hours of community service completed. I’ve been doing great on federal probation. Me n my attorneys r working to get this other case dismissed.”
Boosie, who’s previously done prison time for drug charges, has faced this current federal case since 2023 for illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. The details of his arrest were unusual; after local authorities spotted a handgun tucked into Boosie’s waistband while monitoring the Instagram feed of a “known gang member” in San Diego, they used a helicopter to track him in real-time and then found a Glock pistol in his vehicle during a traffic stop.
Following years of procedural ups and downs, the case against Boosie was scheduled for a trial last summer. But in August, the rapper said he would accept a plea deal because he was “tired of fighting.”
