Boosie Badazz has officially removed his ankle monitor in anticipation of his federal charges being dropped.
In a video posted by Boosie's friend on Monday (June 24), the Baton Rouge rapper was seen preparing to jump in his pool to celebrate being off house arrest, albeit prematurely.
"MY P.O. said my charges are terminated and I can cut my ankle monitor off," Boosie told guests in attendance, who cheered him on as he removed the ankle monitor before taking a splash.
But as pointed out by XXL, Boosie isn't exactly in the clear. According to court documents obtained by the publication, the rapper's lawyer, Meghan Blanco, filed for his charges to be dismissed his by the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, but hasn't yet gotten a response. But Boosie has gotten permission from District Judge Cathy A. Bencivengo to take off the monitor, although his case is still pending.
Last May, Boosie was arrested in San Diego on firearm possession charges after a traffic stop in the Chollas View neighborhood, per Fox 5. The artist, legal name Torrence Hatch Jr., was accused by police of having a firearm in his waistband at the time of arrest. After spending a week in jail, Boosie was released on a $100,000 bond and famously went to Ruth Chris for takeout.
