Boosie is getting his flowers from a church. St. Landry Parish President Jessie Bellard announced plans to give the Louisiana legend his own day.
How Did Boosie React To Getting His Own Day?
On Wednesday night (April 29th), Boosie learned in a ceremony that May 10th would now be “Boosie Badazz Day,” by St. Landry Parish, in the county of Opelousas, LA.
The news got to Boosie, leading to him wiping tears from his eyes. He relished in the moment for over 30 seconds, before holding the plaque and addressing the crowd, visibly shaken.
“I just want to thank god cause nobody ever did something like this for me,” Boosie said. “I been coming [to the city] for a long time, doing shows around here. Just grateful.”

How Did Fans React To Boosie’s Award?
Naturally, considering the controversial nature of the “Wipe Me Down” rapper, the internet was split on the acknowledgment.
Some people reacted favorably to the news.
“This man really Mr Louisiana,” one user posted. “If slim was alive them 2 n***** woulda been the main ones! Boosie get played in a lot of country cities in Louisiana like ville platte them n***** LOVE ugk ESPECIALLY ZERO! Lafayette Shreveport lake Charles where ever……boosie the face of Louisiana.”
“It’s always good to see when a real one is acknowledged,” another user posted.
“Congrats Boosie, I’m proud of you my g,” another user posted. “I don’t care about your past life like these hating ass ppl.”
Other people were quick to bring up his past issues, including the infamous 2010 court case. Boosie was indicted for first-degree murder, accused of paying Michael “Marlo Mike” Louding $2,800 to kill Terry Boyd. However, after a 2012 trial, a jury found Boosie not guilty.
Many people on social media haven’t forgotten and spoke out about the honor.
“Thank Mr. Boosie for help leading your people straight to jail,” one user posted. “Thanks Mr. Boosie for showing the kids violence guns and drugs are the back bone of the prison system. Without your music we prolly wouldn’t be able to trick as many kids off the streets. So today is your day.”

“A murderer who poisoned his community with drugs and extortion gets his own holiday,” another user posted. “Crazy.”
