Boosie Badazz is now a wanted man in Austin, TX, after skipping out on a bill for three days’ worth of services during a visit to the city earlier this summer.
According to NBC affiliate KXAN, an arrest warrant affidavit was issued for the Louisiana rapper on Friday (September 20) in Travis County, where he now faces charges of theft of service greater than or equal to $2,500 and less than $30,000.
The charge, which was filed on August 29, stems from a trip Boosie took to Austin between June 5 and June 7. On the day of his arrival, the rapper’s manager reached out to a chauffeur service to request a sprinter van to pick him and his crew up from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
As part of the complaint filed by the company, the driver provided a detailed run down of their three-day itinerary, which included trips to Walmart; a trampoline park; a visit to urgent care, where one of Boosie’s children was treated; a trip to the Round Rock Outlet Mall; and a stop at the federal courthouse in Downtown Austin so he could check in with a federal parole officer.
Per the affidavit, Boosie was so pleased with the chauffeur, that he posted a video to social media to promote their business. At that point, the driver told him that he would give him, “a good price, just like I told your manager,” and the “Set It Off” rapper suggested the video he’d shared with his followers could be used to offset the price.
The limo service driver made it clear to police at no point was there “a circumstance, prior to the promotion video, where they agreed that the promotion video would fully cover the cost of services.”
Once he left Austin, he company says they reached out to Boosie BadAzz and his manager several times to secure payment before eventually sending an $8,800 invoice. A hearing has been scheduled for October 25.
KXAN reached out to the rapper’s team for comment, but had yet to hear back as of this writing.
