Boosie Badazz isn’t scared of some competition, even if his opponent is widely considered the GOAT. 

Boosie Badazz is vying for some competition in the Verzuz arena, and it looks like he won’t back down to anyone who’s willing to put him to the challenge. In a recent video that surfaced online, Boosie is seen debating potential candidates to go against him in Verzuz. “How long have I been out?" Boosie asks. "Man, I'm Him”

The rapper maintained an unwavering confidence in his output, whether as Lil Boosie or Boosie Badazz. "It don't matter," he declared. "I got two Hall of Fames, real talk. Just like Kobe [Bryant], I'm No. 8 and No. 24… I started in ‘98, it’s ‘26, mane.”

That’s when someone started bringing up potential match-ups, with one person mentioning Lil Wayne. Wayne’s catalog is truthfully unrivaled. It would be hard to find any artist who can go song-for-song against him. However, Boosie welcomed the competition, stating, “Bring him on.”

“You go get Wayne. I’m gonna stand up like a mothaf*cking champ,” he added.

It should be clear that there aren’t any issues between the two rappers. But Boosie has evidently been hoping to go against anyone in a Verzuz battle.

Boosie Wants A Worthy Opponent For Verzuz

What’s interesting is that he hasn’t always shown an interest in participating in the live-format series. Boosie once confirmed that he was approached to do a Verzuz against Trick Daddy, who turned down the opportunity due to their friendship. The Louisiana artist basically said that he’s not focused on battling people because his music is focused on his own personal experiences.

Most recently, he had a bit of a back-and-forth with Hot Boy Turk, who challenged Boosie and said that he stole his persona–Boosie faded included. However, he swiftly dismissed him and his catalog. Check out the clip above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.
