Boosie Badazz and Fredo Bang have some things in common.  They are both Baton Rouge rappers with pretty extreme criminal histories.

It turns out they are also cousins.

“It’s a lot of stuff that Fredo don’t know about. Fredo my cousin,” Boosie said. “It’s a lot sh*t this n***a don’t know about. It’s a lot of s**t he don’t know about as far as that situation. I found out he was my cousin by great auntie. She told me a year or something ago. It ain’t no hate or anything like that. Anybody in the city who doing their thing you know I want n****s to blow. I feel like when n****s blow from Baton Rouge. You know, that give us the power to make Baton Rouge the hub like LA, Atlanta and s**t like that. Any n***a who tryna blow, it’s good. I ain’t trippin on nobody. But yeah he my cousin.”

Fredo acknowledged he was Boosie's cousin last month.

Despite being blood, there's always been some awkwardness between the two, especially when it comes to another Baton Rouge rapper, NBA YoungBoy.
