Boosie Badazz spent Valentine’s Day with his daughter at the movies while honoring one of the greatest reggae artists of all time.
On Wednesday (February 14), the Baton Rouge native took Laila Jean Hatch to watch the newly released Bob Marley: One Love. The biopic explores the life and legacy of the Jamaican singer-songwriter.
In a clip posted to his Instagram, the “Ungrateful” MC could be seen sitting inside the theatre cosplaying the title character of the film. Soon after leaving the venue, he was spotted keeping a straight face with his costume still on.

Whereas the late Rastafarian is a beloved figure in music and beyond, not all the artists Boosie admires are revered with the same passion. Last week, the Louisiana rapper suggested that R. Kelly would have put on an “amazing” Super Bowl Halftime Show if the circumstances were different and he wasn’t locked up.
Taking to Twitter soon after Usher’s performance at the NFL event, the 41-year-old shared his dream set list for the hypothetical show by the disgraced singer, who he’s shown love to multiple times before despite his fall from grace.
“IF RKELLY WOULDNT HAVE GOT N TROUBLE HIS SONGS WOULD BE AMAZING AT A SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW!!” he wrote. “I CAN HEAR THAT VOICE NOW ‘I BELIEVE I CAN FLY,’ ‘STEP N THE NAME OF LOVE,’ ‘I WISH I WISH I WISH,’ ‘THE WORLDS GREATEST,’ ‘FIESTA FIESTA,’ ‘WHEN A WOMAN LOVES’ then ‘SAME GIRL’ N BRING USHER out OMG!! #letskeepitreal”
A lot of fans seemed confused by his praise for the convict.
“Why are you thinking about r kelly right now?” a person asked in the comments section, while another added: “Boosie why are u vouching for this mane.”
One user even took the opportunity to joke about the Chicago native’s crimes, writing: “Would’ve been picking teens out the crowd to piss on.”
