Boosie Badazz is once more a new dad. The Baton Rouge rap veteran just had a baby girl with his fiancée, Rajel Nelson, and the moment has clearly had a profound effect on him. With a reputation for unfiltered honesty and fiery commiserations about family, Boosie couldn’t soil his feelings as he broke the news to fans on his social media platforms.
Only weeks after pulling out all the stops for Rajel Nelson at his ornate baby shower celebration, Boosie is now on cloud nine. Overcome with pride, joy, and emotion, in a heartwarming video posted to Instagram from the hospital room, the father-of-three gleams as he shares his new daughter with the world. “Man I’m a daddy again, man,” Boosie says with a tearful chuckle and a tear-streaked face in the heartwarming video clip. “My daughter so beautiful, man, I got a baby, dog. Can’t stop crying, man. My daughter here, man.”
It is Boosie’s ninth child and first with Nelson, and it has been an unimaginably significant moment in his life as both a father and a fiancé. The rapper, who has six other baby mothers, has frequently landed in the headlines over the years, sometimes for his mouthy views, sometimes for his personal family drama. But controversy or no, his love for his children has always been a constant through-line in his story.

For followers of Boosie’s life course and sense of humor, his outburst of emotion doesn’t come out of nowhere. The rapper has never been shy about discussing his children or taking bold actions on their behalf to protect them or, on occasion, to admonish them firmly. His love is noisy, loyal, and protective. His relationship with Rajel Nelson has been one of Boosie’s less visible ones, but this week’s baby shower and birth announcements have indeed called attention to their bond. The two have continued to get stronger with every chapter of their love story, and the addition of Sevyn appears to have locked that bond in place even more.
While this baby is a first-life marker for Boosie, the moment also humanizes him further. Beyond the headlines and above the controversies, this was a father in awe of being a father. The grainy footage of him weeping, laughing, and shouting isn’t just a viral clip. It’s a window into Boosie’s soul. Boosie’s fans chimed into the comments section with supportive messages, congratulating him and Rajel on their baby girl and marveling at the rapper’s transformation. For some, seeing the famously hard-nosed artist allowing himself to be so gentle and vulnerable was a relief.
Sevvn’s entrance into his life may not just be a new member of his ever-expanding brood but a fresh start, a new lease on life. This is about Boosie and his continued journey as he embarks on this next chapter with Rajel by his side, but if there’s one evident thing, it’s that his heart is whole, and his top priority, as always, is his kids. It shows that Boosie Badazz can be as unfiltered as ever, but he’s still a dad through and through, loving, feeling deeply, appreciating every moment he can spend with his children.
