People aren't done clowning the supporters of the Drizzy conspiracy.

If you recall earlier this year, the trial for the murder of XXXTENTACION had everyone on the edge of their seats. Moreover, many waited five years since his death to see if he would get at least some form of justice for the killing, and they got it. However, one of the cases most notable developments came from the murderers' defense lawyers, who tried to claim that Drake organized the whole attack. Furthermore, Boosie Badazz is the latest rapper to toss his hat into the ring of ridicule over that conspiracy. During a recent interview with DJ Vlad, the Baton Rouge MC reflected on that bizarre part of the legal battle.

"You get life if you kill a rapper," Boosie began. "You ain’t gettin’ no years. Most of the time, especially if you’re this color [Black], you’re getting years. That’s just how it is. That s**t had me dying laughing, bro," he said of the Drake subpoena attempts when asked by Vlad. "Yeah, they was reaching. I said, man, ‘I know they ain’t finna subpoena no f***in’ Drake."

Boosie Scoffs At The Idea Of XXXTENTACION Murderers' Defense Questioning Drake

Of course, the 40-year-old is far from the first person to comment on the defense's claims from within the industry. Still, perhaps the most relevant and crucial takedown of the whole theory was the judge in the case himself, Michael A. Usan. "What does that have to do with someone who you have no evidence of being involved other than hearsay and innuendo?” Judge Usan scolded defense attorney Mauricio Padilla during one of his arguments. “You are now trying to just drag somebody in who’s a celebrity who does not want to be associated with this. And the harm to that individual is not inconsequential.

"At best, that would be adding an unindicted co-conspirator, if you will. But that’s not a defense to the individuals that are here," he continued. In other updates concerning the trial, codefendant Robert Allen (who pleaded guilty and testified against his fellow suspects who are now serving life sentences) was recently sentenced to two more years in prison.
