Boosie Badazz has continued his tirade against Rod Wave over the alleged unauthorized use of his music, saying he wants the Florida rapper to pay him for “emotional damages.”

During an Instagram Live on Thursday (November 30), the Baton Rouge rapper claimed he asked Rod to give him $200,000 and 25 percent of the publishing of his song “Long Journey” — which Boosie claims interpolated his 2010 track of the same name — to settle their dispute, but his proposition was rejected.

“I told dude, give me $200,000 and 25 percent of the record going forth and I’m not going to sue you or nothing,” he said. “‘Cause you already made money off my thing, and you made people choose sides in the industry. You done affected me in that way also.

“This dude thought I was gonna tell him $2 million! No, n-gga! I’m not gonna tell you $2 million. I don’t own 100 percent of [the song]!”

Boosie then claimed that Rod Wave attempted to negotiate and offered him $150,000, but he wasn’t prepared to accept anything less than $200,000.

“I’m already spending $30,000 to my lawyer to sue you!” he continued. “We was on the phone, he was like, ‘I’m a fan, bro.’ I said, ‘I blame the label more than I blame you. You could’ve called me but I blame the label because they knew.’

“He said, ‘Man, I was supposed to tell the label.’ No, the label knew, too. I tried to work with that dude. Now, when the suit come, you gon’ pay me for emotional damages, Instagram, everything.”

Boosie Badazz called out Rod Wave for allegedly interpolating his lyrics without permission last month and threatened legal action against him.

In response, the “Heart on Ice” hitmaker said he would “pull up” on Boosie and fairly compensate him while letting him know he’s a fan of his.

It appeared Rod failed to keep his promise, though, prompting the “Wipe Me Down” rapper to double down on his lawsuit threat.

“That n-gga Rod Wave ain’t pull up on me,” he said. “No, I don’t own the song fully; I own a percentage of it. I still have publishing in it and writer’s credits, so I guess when he found out that, he don’t want to give me nothing.

“We going to court. Nobody contacted me, nobody gave me my publishing, nobody gave me my writer’s credit, so how you cleared it when you ain’t cleared it with me?”

He added: “Now the CEO, they calling me — ‘Boosie, we going to put you in the publishing, we going to put you in the writer’s credit.’ Too late. It’s too late now.”
