Rapper Boosie, known for his hits and frequent legal issues, finds himself in hot water again—this time over a theft of services charge in Travis County, Texas. According to recent news reports, the charge stems from an alleged incident involving an unpaid bill for limo services.
Boosie, whose real name is Torrence Hatch, is wanted for theft of service in an amount between $2,500 and $30,000. Court documents indicate that the charge was filed on August 29, with a summons issued on Friday, September 20. A pre-trial hearing has been scheduled for October 28.
The charge arises from a complaint made by a limo and chauffeur company in Austin, Texas. According to an affidavit obtained by KXAN, the company claims it provided transportation services to Boosie and his family from June 5 to June 7, 2023. Despite multiple requests for payment, the company alleges it never received the agreed-upon $8,800 for the services.
The driver reportedly followed up with Boosie and his manager several times, even sending an invoice, but received no response. Interestingly, the affidavit states that Boosie complimented the driver and posted a video promoting the business on his social media platforms. In the video, Boosie suggested the company deduct the cost of the services in exchange for the promotion.
While the driver appreciated the shoutout, the affidavit makes clear that no prior agreement was made to settle the bill through promotion alone. The driver expressed willingness to “work something out” but asserts that there was never an understanding that the video would fully cover the cost of the services.
This charge comes amid other legal issues for the rapper. Boosie is currently facing a separate indictment in San Diego related to gun charges stemming from a 2023 arrest.
