Boosie Can’t Vote Today — Being on Federal Paper Took His Ballot, So He’s Telling His Fans to Use Theirs
It’s Election Day — and Boosie Badazz spent part of his morning in the car, seatbelt on, venting about the one thing he can’t do today: vote.
“When you get on paper, you can’t do sh*t… can’t vote, can’t have a gun,” he said in the video, frustrated that being on federal probation has taken his ballot off the table. His ask to his followers was simple: since he can’t cast one, go cast yours — vote on his behalf.

Boosie’s “paper” is real. He pleaded guilty in August 2025 to being a felon in possession of a firearm — the case that started with a 2023 traffic stop in San Diego — and in January 2026 a federal judge sentenced him to time served plus three years of supervised release, a $50,000 fine, and 300 hours of community service, with strict conditions attached. And his supervision is already being tested: federal officers have moved to revoke his release over reported violations, including a new felony charge out of Houston. So when Boosie talks about life on paper, he’s not speaking hypothetically — one wrong step can send him back.
The voting piece is where the argument starts, though. What a felony record — and being mid-supervision — does to your right to vote is a state-by-state patchwork, and it leaves a lot of people in exactly Boosie’s spot: working, taxpaying, raising kids, all of it — and locked out of the ballot box on the day everybody else lines up. Some people hear that and say those are the consequences. Others hear a man who did his time being told his voice still doesn’t count.
Either way, his message landed where he aimed it: if you CAN vote today, don’t waste it — somebody who wants to, can’t.

Real question: should being on probation take your vote away — or is the ballot the one right nobody should lose?
