Boosie didn’t shrink back from expressing his disappointment after attempting to honor the late Caleb Wilson. Caleb, a Southern University student, was a victim of a fraternity hazing incident in February. This month, the rapper publicly shared his plans to start out a scholarship within the 20-year-old’s memory. Nevertheless, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill now claims that Boosie had no authority to say Caleb’s name. In response, she’s threatening a lawsuit on behalf of his family.
After going IN together with his first response, the rapper also stated he desired to be put in touch with Caleb’s family, but nobody was helping. Boosie also talked about possibly taking his annual bash out of NOLA.

Attorney General Accuses Boosie Of Doing THIS
As mentioned, the Baton Rouge artist announced the scholarship earlier this month during his sixth annual Boosie Bash Festival at Southern University. This week, Liz Murrill said Boosie used Caleb Wilson’s name, image, and likeness without the family’s permission, per local outlet WBRZ. She’s also asserting the rapper used Wilson’s memory for event promotion that wasn’t charitable.
“Caleb Wilson’s parents have advised me that they’ve not given consent and know nothing about their son’s name and image getting used to advertise this event,” the Louisiana Attorney General reportedly said.
The AG added, “They didn’t even know the event was happening. They’ve requested that his name, image, and any reference to a scholarship for him be faraway from all promotional materials. I intend to take legal motion attributable to their misappropriation of his name and image to advertise their for-profit event. This is just not a charitable event.”
Rapper Claps Back At Liz Murrill’s Threat
It didn’t take long for Boosie to learn of the lawsuit threat. He hopped on X (formerly Twitter) to make clear his intentions on Monday (March 24). Moreover, he rebuffed the notion that Caleb Wilson’s parents didn’t know in regards to the scholarship or that he abused the late college student’s memory for a paid event. Boosie said the lawsuit threat is “the last word betrayal” and called out the Louisiana Attorney General and Wilson’s family.
“It’s sad for this lawyer n family to say I promoted my event off someone’s passing! My event was promoted on Eventbrite since Nov 14. This incident happened every week before my event was to happen! How the f**k can I capitalize off someone death for a concert. That’s ain’t me. A death of a student won’t help a concert., it will hurt a concert,” Boosie wrote.
The rapper added that he was asked to “help the situation” and believed that’s what he was doing. Taking legal motion against him while he’s attempting to help looks like a “completely incorrect” slap within the face. “WHEN KEEPING IT REAL GOES WRONG SMH BR I’M DONE. ANOTHER MONEY GRAB ‼️THIS IS The ULTIMATE BETRAYAL SMH,” Boosie added.

In a follow-up live session, Boosie talked about taking his annual concert on the road as a substitute of hosting it in Louisiana.
“These people f**king with me in Louisiana. That’s why I moved from down there bruh. It could be the last of Boosie Bash. It could be the last; I’m desirous about taking Boosie Bash on the road,” the rapper said.
He added that he involved Caleb Wilson in his annual event out of affection after his manager approached him in regards to the situation.
