&#8220;The Boosie Fade&#8221; has taken on great meaning since it was first popularized by its namesake <a href="/profile/LilBoosie" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Boosie Badazz</a>. For those who don&#8217;t know, &#8220;The Boosie Fade&#8221; is essentially a haircut colloquially associated with the Baton Rouge rapper, by which the sides of his scalp are shaven clean, while the top remains at a modest length. This cartoon rendering should give you a vague idea.

&#8220;Barber Tutorials&#8221; like the one below, have put &#8220;The Boosie Fade&#8221; in the hands of the DIY crowd, and this YouTuber isn&#8217;t alone in championing the fade on the platform. &#8220;The Boosie Fade&#8221; is also a regional fixture in barbershops across the country, and well on its way to becoming culturally idiomatic, if it hasn&#8217;t already.

Boosie Badazz was on Raquel Harper&#8217;s BET program Raq Rants to discuss a whole range of issues, including his plans to get the &#8220;The Boosie Fade&#8221; trademarked within the Federal Courts. He told Harper that he has his lawyers working around the clock to secure exclusive naming rights.
The reason being: Boosie is tired of &#8220;Hollywood-types&#8221; profiting off the hairstyle when it appears in movies and television. He compared its intellectual usage rights to a production company using a Marvin Gaye song without a license. Does he have a point?
