but later beating it,
and having eight kids
with four different baby mothers while incarcerated.
This is Top Trend TV,
and this is an exclusive unseen look
into the criminal history of Lil Boosie.
(rap music beats)
- At East Baton Rouge, parish grand jury
has indicted Torrence Hatch,
otherwise known as Lil Boosie.
On first degree murder charges.
Lil Boosie was indicted in the October 21st,
of shooting dead of Terry Boyd.
Boosie and a girlfriend
along with a former Dixon Institute guard, and inmate
were also indicted on drug charges.
Michael Louding and Adrian Pittman are also indicted
on first-degree charges for Boyd's murder.
District attorney Hillar Moore tells...
(rap music beats) - [Narrator] Boosie was born
on November 14th, 1982,
in low income housing in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Growing up, Boosie played basketball,
and excelled in it,
hoping to make it to college.
But growing up in the hood,
made it a lot harder
for him to focus on his basketball dream.
- It's all Baton Rouge is just, you know,
it's all the way street.
It's all the way gangster from the bottom to the top.
Close that track, you know what I'm saying, just,
it's all a nigga knows, you know what I'm saying?
This is all, it's all, it's all we know,
you know what am saying?
So that's why, you know what I'm saying.
Sometimes I get carried away with it.
Cause I'm gonna let you know who I be.
And I'm always saying something from Baton Rogue so,
coz that's my hood
you know what I'm saying?
My mama ain't teach me to be no gangster,
these streets did this, you know what I'm saying?
- [Narrator] So Boosie turned to the streets,
at 14,
when he moved with his grandmother after his father passed.
His father was a drug addict,
and got into it with the drug dealer.
Boosie not having a father figure in his life,
and without a guiding hand,
Boosie let crime and drugs influence him.
And eventually it got him kicked out of highschool.
So Boosie started rapping
later hooking up with C-loc,
putting his song
"That's my thug there"
on his tape, "It's a gamble".
And it became Boosie's debut.
He soon released his own tape on his own,
called
"Youngest of the camp".
And he worked with Webbie
for the 2003 release
of "Ghetto Stories".
And again, for 2004's
"Gangsta Musik".
And this was the rise of Boosie.
- Now we're still getting money nigga,
but this time,
if you find a fifty in here I'mma post it
We getting money
I hope you got five minutes on that camera thug,
I wipe my ass with this nigga...
That hand's getting tired man, shit! (sighs)
Lets get back to it.
- [Narrator] Beginning to gain
a steady fan base from all over,
Boosie pretty much stayed away from the law
for the beginning of his career
until October 22nd, 2008
Boosie was arrested
after East Baton Rouge
Sheriff's department
found marijuana
and a gun in Boosie's car.
Boosie pled guilty on his third offense
"possession of marijuana" charge on September 22nd, 2009
and was sentenced to two years in prison the next day.
Judge James Moore doubled his sentence on November 10th
after finding Boosie had violated his probation
while waiting to be sentenced.
Between his plea and sentencing
Boosie was on house arrest.
On June 17th, 2010,
Boosie was indicted on federal charges
on first degree murder of Terry Boyd.
According to sources,
Boosie hired 17 year old Marlo Mike
to do the hit on Boyd in 2009.
Terry Boyd was the brother of
one of the lil Boosie's baby mothers, named Tori.
Tori was one of the witnesses in the case.
Actually she was the last witness
and she told prosecutors that
Lil Boosie had nothing to do with the murder of Terry Boyd,
and they never was beefing.
Recently about a year ago,
Tori has put online,
that Boosie actually did have something to do
with the murder of Terry Boyd
and actually tried to expose him,
saying statements like
"he does not take care of his children,
and he does not pay up on his child support."
Unsure if any of this is actually true,
but for the murder of Terry Boyd,
Boosie actually could have faced the death penalty.
But because of Tori,
one of his baby mothers,
the leading witness in the case
on May 11th, 2012
the jury found Boosie not guilty on first degree murder.
But he also faced charges for three counts of possession,
with intent to distribute narcotics
and schedule II codeine and cocaine
schedule I marijuana,
three counts of conspiracy to commit
possession with intent to distribute narcotics
and two counts of conspiracy to introduce contraband
into a penal institution.
He stated that he was innocent for these charges.
On November 29th,
2011,
Boosie was sentenced to eight years in state prison,
after pleading guilty to the drug charges.
His attorney was able to argue that the drug charges
were set up
and that Boosie was actually innocent.
And he was released March 5th, 2014.
He remained on parole until 2018 though,
as of today,
Boosie seems to be doing pretty good,
and stays active on social media.
For the time that he did,
Boosie stated
that he stayed in general population
for the whole time.
Saying "General population was the closest
to getting to the real world."
On November 25th,
2015
Boosie was diagnosed with kidney cancer.
He went through surgery and cancer treatments,
for weeks
and of today,
he is cancer free.
