There were conflicting reports about the Louisiana-born rapper getting shot as someone on the scene took to Instagram Live while at the location and said he witnessed the rapper being transferred from the van to another vehicle.
“He wasn’t touched at all, guys. He wasn’t hit,” the person said.
Boosie was in Dallas to attend the funeral of friend and fellow rapper, Mo3, who was shot and killed on the highway on November 11, when a car pulled up beside him and opened fire. He was 28.
On Friday, Boosie was present during a public event to pay tribute to his fallen friend. “I appreciate all the times we had together,” he said while at the event.
He took to social media in reaction to the rapper’s death, saying, “I’m lost for words. Mo3 see u when I get there.”
Mo3 was signed to Boosie’s BadAzz Music Syndicate and the two rappers collaborated earlier this year.
