Boosie Badazz put his recent struggles in his raps for a project titled In My Feelings (Goin’ Thru It) and now, he’s ready to portray his life in a film. Boosie took to social media to reveal that he has a biopic in the works.
On Sunday (Jan. 3), the Baton Rouge rapper posted an Instagram picture of himself and Jamal Woolard, the actor who starred as Biggie in the 2009 film Notorious. He shared the photo with a telling caption, “n talks with the real sharks of the movie industry n it's official "BOOSIE" the movie is on the way ‼be on the look out for casting call , This Movie will be epic.”
Woolard was recently tapped to reprise his role as The Notorious B.I.G. for the forthcoming Tupac Shakur biopic, All Eyez On Me. Though details beyond Boosie’s announcement have yet to surface, Woolard’s industry connections may very well prove beneficial in establishing Boosie’s film.
A movie about Boosie’s story is undoubtedly something diehard fans would like to see come to fruition. Since making his mainstream debut, Boosie has released and been featured on singles including “Zoom” with Yung Joc, “Wipe Me Down,” “Independent” and “Out Here Grindin” by DJ Khaled.
His career has also been plagued with adversity, namely a nearly five year stint in the Louisiana justice system and a murder charge. Since overcoming those obstacles, Boosie was diagnosed with kidney cancer and underwent a successful procedure to remove the cancerous tumor.
Following the procedure, Boosie wrote via social media, “I want to thank each and everyone for all the support and love. Surgery went well..God is good! Next step recovery! Cancer has been removed from Boosie kidney… Thanks to all Boosie family and friends and all my real Boosie fans for all the prayers from #badazzmusicsyndicate… I am a #cancersurvivor."
