Rapper Boosie Badazz involved in serious car accident in Georgia
Rapper Boosie Badazz says he suffered minor injuries but managed to walk away from a serious car accident Monday afternoon outside Atlanta.
The accident took place around 3:30 p.m. in the suburb of Union City when two vehicles collided at the intersection of South Fulton and Mason Road, local authorities told TMZ. Police said multiple people were hospitalized as a result of the crash.
The accident was allegedly caused by a driver who ran through a red light at high speed, though it's unclear which vehicle was responsible. Boosie, who was riding in a BMW, was reportedly not behind the wheel.
In a video recorded by an eyewitness, the green-and-black BMW can be seen at an intersection as its passengers lay on the ground visibly in pain. The car appears to have been hit head-on, and debris can be seen strewn across the road in front of it.
In a Facebook post, the rapper formerly known as Lil' Boosie confirmed that he's OK in the wake of the crash.
'I'm good. Banged up. But good,' he wrote. 'God got me.'
Boosie is currently on his Millennium Tour and is scheduled to continue with his next stop in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday.

Luckily the photo held a clue as to who was in it, as written on the back of it were the words: 'Frank and Josephine Ruggirello — Nana Nono,' per the outlet. The photo — both back and front — was posted online on Facebook in the hopes that someone who saw the post would be able to identify who it belonged to. 'We posted, 'Lost & Found love story,' ' Anneliese White of the Stirling Heights Public Library, told WXYZ-TV. 'We were hoping someone might recognize one of the people in the pictures or recognize the last name.'

Sarah said she recognized the wedding couple in the photo as her grandparents Frank and Josephine Ruggirello, who were married on Sept. 26, 1953 in Detroit. She wrote on Facebook: 'This is my grandma and grandpa on their wedding day! Would I be able to pick it up?' She added, 'My grandpa passed in 2020 and my grandma passed in 2023, and I know my family would love to have [the photo].' 'I was very close to my grandparents,' Sarah told WXYZ-TV, adding that her grandparents had been married for 67 years. 'My whole family, my brother and cousins and I have just such fond memories of them growing up." "We'd go over to their house every Sunday for Sunday dinner and my grandma was a great cook and she would make homemade sauce and meatballs and they were just the best grandparents ever," she added. The library set up a time and place to exchange the photo with Sarah, and she excitedly thanked White who handed over the photo. She shared with WXYZ-TV: 'What's so cool is we've never seen — my dad and I — have never seen this exact photo before. We didn't know this exact photo existed.' As for where she plans to put the photo, she shared, 'I think now I'm going to frame it and display it somewhere in my house just because this was such a cool story and such a cool thing that happened." The library noted that it was unclear who donated the book and that it was routine for volunteers to check books before they are sold in the library's used bookstore. As for how they would describe the wedding photo reunion, White said: "This is definitely a solved mystery with a little bit of romance in it for sure. A feel-good story."
