Boosie Badazz has celebrated being cancer-free after an eight-year battle.
The Baton Rouge rapper took to Instagram on Tuesday (May 2) to share his relief at being given the all clear after being diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2015. But his joy was bittersweet after finding out his doctor passed away in 2022.
“Stayed up all night praying for these results #cancerfree. God great but he test your faith all the time. I was ready to see my cancer doctor/surgeon today but I was told he passed last year.”
He wrote on Instagram
“Thank u Dr. Wood for always making me laugh when I was down u were the best.
I remember u rubbin my head when I was cryin before surgery n you ask me why I was crying n I told u I was thinking about all the wrong I’ve done n my life.”
He continued: “N you said MrBoosie God forgives n don’t worry I’ve done more surgeries than you’ve done concerts. #DrWood I’m hurt.”
BoosieBadazz paired his heartfelt message with a photo of him wearing a mask while holding paperwork from the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.
Boosie was diagnosed with kidney cancer back in 2015. That December, he updated fans on his condition after undergoing a successful surgery that removed the cancer from his kidney.
Months later, Boosie blasted people who claimed the rapper didn’t actually have cancer.
“I’m tired of these stupid mothafuckas saying I ain’t have cancer sending me DMs asking why am I lying saying I had cancer,” he wrote on Instagram at the time.
“Who wants to fake or lie about something like that not me ,not a real one wtf u mad cause I asked for prayers n gottem /I don’t get it / well mf’s this my cancer scar a week after my surgery (FACTS).”
