In a heated exchange that has captivated the hip-hop community, rapper 50 Cent has publicly criticized Boosie Badazz following the arrest of Boosie’s son, Tutti Raw, on gun charges in Atlanta. The incident, which involved a police chase, has raised significant concerns about family dynamics and parenting within the hip-hop culture.
Tutti Raw, 21, was apprehended for possessing a Glock switch, a device that converts a semi-automatic handgun into a fully automatic weapon. This arrest follows a troubling pattern for both father and son, as Boosie, whose real name is Torrance Ivy Hatch Jr., recently pleaded guilty to federal gun charges himself, facing a recommended two-year sentence. His legal troubles echo a similar conviction in 2009, raising questions about the influence of his lifestyle on his children.
50 Cent did not hold back in his criticism of Boosie’s parenting. Taking to social media, he expressed his disbelief, asking, “What type of father doesn’t look at his son and know the type of friends he’s hanging with?” He pointed out the alarming similarities between their legal predicaments, stating, “A father would go to prison while the son is going too.” 50 Cent’s comments highlighted a perceived cycle of trouble within the family, further igniting discussions about responsibility and the impact of parental guidance.
The arrest gained additional notoriety due to controversial internet personality Charleston White, who claimed to have tipped off authorities about Tutti’s alleged threats against him. White boasted in a video shared by DJ Academics that he facilitated Tutti Raw’s arrest just hours after arriving in Atlanta. However, sources close to Tutti have disputed White’s claims, suggesting that the feud between the two continues to escalate.
As an aspiring rapper known for tracks like “Slide Then,” Tutti Raw has faced legal challenges in the past, including a prior arrest in 2023 for gun and drug charges. The recent events surrounding his arrest and Boosie’s legal issues have sparked divided opinions among fans and commentators. While some support 50 Cent’s critique of Boosie’s influence on his son, others defend Boosie’s attempts to guide his children away from a troubled path.
As Boosie awaits sentencing in November, and Tutti navigates his ongoing legal troubles, the hip-hop community is closely monitoring the situation. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the broader issues within the industry regarding youth, accountability, and the often complicated relationship between fame and family.
