Boosie Badazz shares some great news.

Boosie Badazz remains cancer free. The Lousiana legend took to Instagram to celebrate the news, although it was admittedly a bittersweet feeling. He explained that he “stayed up all night praying for these results,” before revealing that he also found out that his cancer doctor/surgeon passed away without his knowledge. “CANCER FREE! GOD [is] GREAT, BUT HE [TESTS] YOUR FAITH ALL THE TIME!” he wrote. “I was ready to see my cancer doctor/surgeon today, but I was told he passed last year. Thank [you], Dr. Wood, for always making me laugh when I was down. [You] were the best.”

Boosie detailed how Dr. Wood lifted his spirits when he was initially diagnosed with cancer. “I remember you rubbin my head when I was cryin before surgery,” he said. “You ask me why I was crying n I told U I was thinkin about all the wrong I’ve done n my life n you said Mr. Boosie, God forgives n don’t worry, I’ve done more surgeries than you’ve done concerts.” It’s apparent that Dr. Wood’s words of encouragement resonated deeply with Boosie during an incredibly trying time in his life.

Boosie Badazz Announces He Beat Cancer

Boosie Badazz first announced that he was diagnosed with cancer in 2015. At the time, the rapper underwent immediate surgery that successfully removed the cancer in his kidney. In 2021, he formally announced that he was cancer free. Fortunately, his latest check-up resulted in the news that he officially has no more cancer in his body. Hopefully, it stays that way. 

Besides the good news Boosie received, he also made headlines after he and T.I. put an end to their feud. If you recall, Boosie went off on the King Of The South over allegations of cooperating with police to get off of a charge. Boosie then announced that he and T.I.’s collaborative effort, which he claimed would be better than Her Loss, wouldn’t be released anymore. Fortunately, they ran into each other and eventually gained an understanding of each other’s perspective. Check out Boosie Badazz’s post above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
