After initially stating his forthcoming prison sentence would be beneficial to his career, Louisiana emcee Lil’ Boosie is now remorseful and saddened about the term that will keep him behind bars for an estimated two years. Boosie, real name Torrence Hatch, was originally convicted of a third offense for marijuana possession. The jail term was then exacerbated when Boosie violated his house arrest order to complete two concert dates. According to Boosie, his sentencing was based on his rap persona over his actual behavior, which was simply to provide support for his 7 children and another still to be born. Also, the rapper had been sued before for not fulfilling show dates, and wanted to prevent any further legal complications before going to prison. “If I made a mistake with marijuana, why am I not eligible for rehab?” Boosie questioned. “I’ve been on marijuana since a teenager. I need some rehab. Jail is not rehab.”
