At HipHopRaisedMeTheBlog.com, we’re following the developing story of Boosie Badazz, who is now facing potential legal action from the family of Caleb Wilson. The 20-year-old Southern University student tragically lost his life due to a hazing incident while trying to join the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, an event that has sparked outrage and concern. In response to this tragedy, Boosie announced his intention to create a memorial scholarship in Caleb’s honor, but this gesture has not been received well by the grieving family.
The rapper made headlines during a recent appearance on a local news station, expressing his desire to honor Caleb’s memory. “Caleb’s life was gone too soon. Me bringing this to Baton Rouge, I feel like I’m a part of it too… so, I just want to make it right,” he stated, indicating his genuine intent to support the family and community in their time of grief.

However, the Wilson family claims that they were completely unaware of Boosie’s plans regarding the scholarship and assert that he is trying to profit off their son’s tragic death. Liz Murrill, the attorney representing Caleb’s parents, stated, “Caleb Wilson’s parents have advised me that they have not given consent and know nothing about their son’s name and image being used to promote this event.” The family is demanding that all references to Caleb’s name, image, and the scholarship be removed from promotional materials, arguing that the event is not charitable but rather a profit-driven endeavor.
Boosie, upon learning of the family’s concerns, took to social media to express his frustration. “ITS SAD FOR THIS LAWYERn FAMILY TO SAY I PROMOTED MY EVENT OFF SOMEONES PASSING,” he wrote on X. He emphasized that his event had been promoted well in advance and that he was genuinely trying to help the situation. “TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING TO HELP YALL IS A SLAP N MY FACE,” he added, feeling betrayed by the accusations.
As the situation unfolds, both sides appear to be firmly rooted in their positions, raising questions about the ethics of using someone’s name for fundraising purposes without explicit consent. The conflict highlights the complexity of navigating grief, intention, and community support in the wake of a tragedy.
Stay tuned for updates as this story develops, shedding light on the ongoing discussions surrounding the scholarship and the legacy of Caleb Wilson.
