Boosie Badazz said the recent arrest of his son Ivy "Ray Ray" Hatch is an example of the devil trying to get to him through his children.

Boosie Badazz loves his children, and has even collaborated with them in the past. As such, he always feels pain when they go through hardship. Following the news of the arrest of Boosie's son Ivy Ray Hatch, also known as Ray Ray, he took to his social media to speak on the matter, as caught by Livebitez on Instagram. As it turns out, he also commented on his 16-year-old son being in custody on an accessory charge while reportedly on probation, denying any wrongdoing on his behalf.

"My son Ray Ray, he been out. He was out as soon as he went in," the rapper expressed. "Bonded him out... But they had locked my other son up, too. My 16-year-old, they gave him accessory. He was already on probation. They kept him, he getting out today... I been going through it, I ain't gon' lie... I knew it was coming, I just felt it was coming. Because I've been being too blessed... I knew the devil was coming. He couldn't get to me, so he got to getting to me through my kids... My boys putting me through it right now... Nah, my son ain't rob nobody... My son had a fight with somebody... That ain't Ray Ray."

Boosie Badazz's Son's Arrest

For those unaware, Boosie Badazz's son Ray Ray was arrested for alleged armed robbery, aggravated battery, possession of drugs and paraphernalia with intent to distribute drugs, and possession of a firearm with drugs. He is currently out on bond.

Authorities reportedly arrested three other suspects in connection to the alleged battery and robbery of an individual in Denham Springs. These include an unidentified minor, 19-year-old Antonio Cooley, and 18-year-old Calei Ely. It's unclear if the juvenile faces the same charges as Hatch, and the charges against the other two individuals are unknown.

Elsewhere, Boosie Badazz is still shooting for his pardon after a fiasco with the White House concerning an executive order from United States President Donald Trump. We'll see if that situation leads anywhere. For now, he's focused on his children and making sure their legal troubles find a prompt resolution.
