Boosie Calls For Principal’s Reinstatement Following School Visit

May 02, 2026

Boosie publicly defended the Lafayette principal suspended after his unannounced school visit, calling for his reinstatemen.

Boosie took to social media to defend Principal James Rollins after the Lafayette Parish School Board placed him on administrative leave.

The rapper’s response came days after his unannounced visit to Northside High School sparked controversy and cost the principal his position, at least temporarily.

“We would like to respectfully ask the Lafayette Parish School Board to reconsider the principal’s position,” Boosie wrote in his statement. “From what we experienced, he did an outstanding job with security and made sure everything was handled the right way. More importantly, he came across as someone who genuinely cares about his students and made sure they had the opportunity to benefit from what we brought.”

The situation unfolded when Boosie showed up at the Lafayette school on Wednesday afternoon with State Rep. Tehmi Chassion to connect with students and promote his Boosie Bash concert at the Cajundome.

Videos of the rapper hyping up kids in the gymnasium and walking through hallways spread across social media, but the district wasn’t happy about the unscheduled appearance.

According to WBRZ, the visit violated Lafayette Parish School System policy because nobody obtained proper approval beforehand.

Rollins ended up on leave just days after the incident went viral, though the school system wouldn’t officially connect his suspension to Boosie’s visit.

The district cited “personnel matters” as the reason, keeping specifics private.

What stood out about Boosie’s response was his emphasis on how professionally Rollins managed the entire situation rather than just defending his own actions.

The school board still hasn’t announced whether Rollins will return to his position or the suspension will become permanent.
