Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has officially initiated formal legal proceedings against the prominent rapper known professionally as Boosie Badazz, over promotion of a 2025 concert. The state's legal action centers specifically around false advertising allegations, that stem from the digital and physical marketing materials distributed for his 2025 'Boosie Bash' music festival.
