Rod Wave and Boosie Badazz are back at each other’s throats after Boosie accused Rod of “playing victim” over their old sampling dispute, prompting Rod to fire back with an explosive response.
“Boosie, you need to cut that st out,” Rod said on Instagram Stories. “You talkin’ bout ‘let it go.’ Ain’t letting s–t go. You a f–kin’ hoe.”
The renewed feud followed Rod’s appearance on “Club Shay Shay,” where Shannon Sharpe asked about Boosie’s 2023 threat to sue him over the use of Boosie’s 2010 song “Long Journey.”

Rod previously said he tried to keep the dispute out of court and offered Boosie $100,000, but claimed the offer was not enough.
“You broke my heart,” he told Boosie, accusing the rapper of turning to a lawsuit instead of handling the issue privately.
