Boosie Badazz<\/a> is being sued by a security guard who says the rapper smashed a glass hookah over his head … the latest development connected to the alleged assault which landed Boosie in jail.<\/p>\n

Edward Iglehart II is suing the Louisiana-born rapper over an alleged incident which he says occurred on May 24 of this year at the Dome Nightclub in Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n

Iglehart alleges he was hired to provide security in the VIP area at an event where Boosie — real name Torrence Hatch, Jr. — performed … and, near the end of the night during closing, a woman who he says was in VIP with Boosie allegedly came up to him and asked him if she could re-enter to use the bathroom in a restricted area of the club.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He says he tried to politely direct the woman to a different security guard who would make the determination … at which point Iglehart claims the woman started berating him — and then eventually hit him.<\/p>\n

Iglehart says he grabbed the woman and began to lead her away when she fell. He says he bent to pick her up when he was struck with a heavy object.<\/p>\n

He alleges Boosie was standing over him with a broken hookah. Iglehart was bleeding heavily, he says … and he was rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n

He’s suing Boosie for assault and battery and for defamation for allegedly making false claims about him on social media. Iglehart is also suing 1720 Main Street Entities — the company that owns the club — for allegedly overserving Boosie and his guests, creating an unsafe workplace.<\/p>\n

We broke the story … Boosie was arrested<\/a> for this alleged assault back in May. The club\u2019s owners and promoters told Houston PD the woman Iglehart was escorting out is Boosie\u2019s niece.<\/p>\n

In a statement to us, Boosie’s attorney Carl A. Moore said, “We plan to vigorously investigate and defend Mr. Hatch against these allegations — we wish everyone would reserve any judgement and allow this case to play out in court.” He added Boosie was trying to “defend his female relative” and “deescalate the situation.”<\/p>\n

We’ve reached out for a reaction to the civil suit … so far, no word back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boosie Badazz is being sued by a security guard who says the rapper smashed a glass hookah over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":784935,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,216],"class_list":["post-784934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784934\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
