There were a lot of potential victims at Boosie Badazz's show in Akron, Ohio this past weekend. Thankfully, though, the Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper was not one of them. Per some new footage via Live Bitez and The Shade Room, a security guard can be seen grabbing him and pulling him away from the gunshots. While it is good to see this, it also isn't. Boosie and his fans went from smiling and rapping together to his songs to ducking and running from the errant bullets inside the venue. Folks in the comments section praised the employee working the show for being so brave.
"The body guard snatched Boosie up like he was his child!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 That’s what I’m talking about! He was doing his job! Praying for everyone affected," one Instagram user applauds. "Security understood the assignment 🙌🏾" another similarly adds. But despite this happy news, there's still a lot of harrowing details surrounding the unfortunate incident. Per multiple reports, three men of the ages of 18, 36, and 25 were all injured at the Field House Lounge Sunday night (March 9). The first two listed were found by police inside of the venue with injuries in the torso area according to TMZ Hip Hop.
