Judge Allows Rapper Boosie Badazz to Speak With Fiancée After Months of No-Contact Due to Court-Order
April 18 2024, Published 5:30 a.m. ET
After being court-ordered to have no contact for months, Boosie Badazz was finally granted permission to speak to his fiancée Rajel Nelson.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, a federal court judge granted Boosie’s request to modify the terms of his release that prohibited him from contacting Rajel.
As we previously reported, Boosie was arrested by federal agents on June 16, 2023, inside the San Diego courtroom. A couple of days later, the court agreed to release the rapper with a series of conditions.
The court ordered Boosie not to communicate with any witnesses in the case. His lawyer said, “Although [Boosie’s] fiancée, Rajel Nelson, was not present in California during his arrest for being a felon in possession of a firearm, the government notified the court that it believed she may be a witness and did not want [Boosie} to communicate with her, even though they lived together at the time and were engaged to be married.”
Boosie objected at the time. At a previous hearing, Boosie told the court he planned to get married on April 1.
In January, Boosie pleaded with the court to allow him communication with Rajel. He said six months had passed since he was released and he was still not permitted to speak to her.

This week, the judge said Boosie’s motion was granted because prosecutors did not file any objections.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Boosie was arrested in San Diego, California in May 2023. Police said they saw the rapper on Instagram Live with a gun.
Boosie said he had the gun for a music video. Officers pulled over the entertainer’s car and found two handguns. He was charged with one count of felony possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
The state dismissed the charges but then the feds arrested Boosie over the incident.
As we first reported, Boosie and his legal team are fighting the case. They recently demanded certain statements Boosie made to police be suppressed.
He claimed officers did not read him his rights before questioning him.
Prosecutors scoffed at the claim. “Detectives repeatedly attempted to advise Defendant of his Miranda rights but were unsuccessful because Defendant repeatedly and spontaneously interrupted their attempts throughout the 11-minute-long interview. Defendant’s statements were voluntary and, based on his own words and actions, were not during a diabetic episode. The circumstances here do not justify suppression,” they said in response.
A judge has yet to rule on the matter.
