Boosie BadAzz removes his ankle monitor

On Tuesday (June 25), a video shared by friend Boosie on Instagram showed the rapper dramatically removing his ankle monitor before jumping into a pool. “MY DY said my charges are terminated and I can cut off my ankle monitor,” Bushy yelled with a smile on his face before ripping it off his ankle. Cheers go up from all over Boosie as he dives in.

However, court documents obtained by XXL on Tuesday (June 25), show that Boosie's claim isn't entirely accurate. His attorney, Megan Blanco, did file a motion to dismiss his charges in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, but the court has yet to respond to Blanco's request. But District Judge Cathy A. Bencivengo allowed Boosie to remove his ankle monitor, so there's still cause for celebration.

“Mr. Hatch's ankle monitor status was removed yesterday,” Blanco said in a statement. XXL. “His case is still pending, but we have filed motions to dismiss, which we expect the Court to rule on shortly.”

Why was Boosie BadAzz wearing an ankle monitor?

Boosie was arrested last June on a federal felon in possession of a weapon charge during a court hearing in San Diego. Police claimed they spotted a firearm in the rapper's waist on a known Crip member's Instagram Live channel. Boosie was reportedly filming a music video in town. Boosie was eventually released on bail after spending a week behind bars and having to wear an ankle monitor. Boosie's attorney previously filed a motion to have the charges dropped, which was denied. As of Tuesday, Boosie still plans to take the case to trial.
