Boosie BadAzz and Rod Wave clash over music sampling allegations
Musicians Boosie BadAzz and Rod Wave are engaged in a public dispute regarding the unauthorized sampling of music. Boosie BadAzz has accused Rod Wave of being a “serial stealer,” alleging that the artist has built a career by taking music from others without proper compensation.
In recent social media posts, Boosie BadAzz claimed that ChatGPT indicated Rod Wave had sampled 31 songs, though he previously cited lower figures of 15 and 20. Boosie BadAzz further asserted that Rod Wave has used his records on four or five separate occasions.
Rod Wave addressed the conflict in an interview on Club Shay Shay, stating that his previous interactions with Boosie were intended to show respect and that he had previously looked up to Boosie as an influence. Boosie BadAzz responded on X, rejecting the claim of “showing love” and accusing Rod Wave of playing the victim.
