Rumors about anyone famous are very common, including rappers like Lil Boosie. The most common rumor that has been spread about Torrence “Boosie” Hatch is that he is not from Louisiana. A lot of people continue to think that he is from Florida, despite the fact that he says where he grew up in most of his songs. Another place that people usually mix up with Baton Rouge is New Orleans; there have been plenty of people that think he is from the same city as fellow Louisiana artist named Lil Wayne (Dewayne Carter). If you don’t know where an artist is coming from (e.g. what city), then it is going to be much more difficult for you to relate with the content in their music (especially in the culture of rap).

The worst rumor that has been spread through news tabloids and gossip sites is about the death of Boosie. Many headlines have been published like “Lil Boosie dead” when nearly everyone knows that he is alive and well. Most of these rumors are started when people just want to get attention for their particular publication or website. Once the rumor starts, it is very hard to dismiss until people learn more about the topic through a legitimate source. People that frequently follow Boosie know that this is not true, but someone else may not know what to think.

What do you think that you would do if someone started a rumor about you? When celebrities like Lil Boosie get rumors spread about them, it is very difficult for them to constantly keep track of them and then tell their fans that they are not true. The only thing that they can really do is to ignore them and keep moving forward with their careers. The next time you hear some news that sounds untrue about a celebrity that you like, make sure that you double check your findings with a trusted source of news instead of a gossip website.
