As he was being transferred from Hunt Correctional Facility to East Baton Rouge Parish Prison Friday following his indictment on 1st degree murder charges Thursday, Lil Boosie told tv cameras "I'm innocent."
The indictment is for the murder of Terry Boyd. In addition Boosie, real name Torrance Hatch is alleged to have been part of a drug ring in prison. And is charged with three counts of possession with intent to distribute codeine, ecstasy and marijuana. He was also indicted on three counts of conspiracy to commit possession with intent to distribute narcotics and two counts of conspiracy to introduce contraband into a penal institution
Those charges are just the tip of the iceberg. The Louisiana rapper may be in even deeper trouble as police probe his ties to a string of additional murders.
Police have arrested a total of nine men, six on charges of murder for the killings of six people in the Baton Rouge area. Police allege that Boosie was a part of this crew.
Adrian Pittman, 36, Jared Williams, 20, Kendrick Johnson, 19, Johnathan Rogers, 17 and Ryan “Sneaks” Carroll, 16, Michael Louding, 17, Reginald Youngblood, 32, Joshua Wilson, 27 and Stacy Riley, 36 are all in police custody.

The FBI received tips on Boosie, who allegedly ordered a hit on Chris "Nussie" Jackson, a local rapper, offering to pay $30,000 for the hit. Antony Jung, a federal agent, testified under oath, that he knew Lil Boosie had sent out the order for a hit on Nussie.
Boosie and Nussie had been beefing for a while over industry competition. Boosie recorded a song "What Goes Up Must Come Down" that supposedly contained a threat to Nussie.
Nussie, real name Chris Lynell Jackson released his last album 'The Champ Is Here' in April 2008.
Louding, who was 16 at the time, is a hired assasin and is believed to have shot Nussie February 9, 2009 inside his home.

Freeway Ricky Ross built a cocaine empire in the early 80's before being caught by the Feds and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. That sentence was later reduced to 20 years after a federal appeals court threw out the original decision , then reduced even more for good behavior.
Freeway Ricky used his time locked up wisely, becoming a model prisoner, reading over 300 books, preparing himself for the many legitimate business opportunities that would await him once he was released.
In 2006 an imposter by the name of William Leonard Roberts II aka Officer Ross decided to capitalize on Freeway Rick Ross' fame by stealing his name to use as his rap alter ego.
Now, according to BallerStatus, Freeway Ricky is going after Def Jam Records, Universal and Officer Ross. Accusing them of profiting "off of his name unlawfully while he was in jail, without his consent."
On Monday (May 24) the camp of Freeway Ricky released a statement.
"It's no secret that the boss at FreewayEnterprise.com is unhappy with how his name has been exploited and misused since he went to prison in 1995, and in 2006, the above-named parties signed [William L. Roberts II] (Rick Ross' government name) to a big record deal and then spent, and made, millions off Ross' name,"
In 2006, Freeway Ricky had a lawyer send a cease and desist letter to Def Jam protesting "the exploitation and misuse of his name," but that letter was ignored.
Now that the former drug kingpin is out of prison he plans to reclaim "control of his name in commerce by any means necessary."
