Earlier this week, Boosie Badazz appeared in court for a recent gun case that was initially dismissed. Unfortunately, when the rapper went to leave the hearing, federal agents were waiting outside to arrest him. It was previously unclear what he was arrested for, but it's now been revealed. He was taken into custody for possession of a weapon, the same charge that had previously been dropped.
According to federal documents, officers saw Boosie on Instagram Live last month, appearing to have a gun tucked into the waistband of his pants. Officers then pulled over a vehicle that he was riding in, leading to the initial gun charges. Federal agents claim that upon being pulled over, someone in the back seat of the SUV appeared to be "attempting to conceal firearms or illegal contraband." Boosie claimed at the time that he had no weapons on him, but his security guard did. Officers found a loaded Glock 9mm on the rear passenger seat, that they later matched to the weapon allegedly seen tucked into Boosie's jeans on Instagram.

“I WANNA TAKE THIS TIME TO APOLOGIZE TO MY KIDS, IM SORRY AND I LOVE YALL FOREVER,” Boosie wrote on Twitter following his arrest. It was later reported that the rapper had listed his white Rolls-Royce Cullinan for sale online for $240,000. The listing led several social media users to speculate on what kind of charges the rapper could be looking at.
It's now clear that Boosie is facing charges of felony firearm possession and bringing firearms across interstate highways. He was previously incarcerated for drug charges, having served over four years prior to his 2014 release. A judge has denied the rapper's bond, and he's set to appear in court again on June 20. Charleston White told Boosie following the arrest that, "Now, God done also gave you what you asked for."
