While Boosie Badazz sets up for his major comeback, the rapper has been hitting the road, doing shows hard. Maybe a little too hard. The Baton Rogue rapper was hospitalized Friday (Feb. 27) for dehydration, reports TMZ. Boosie Boo was in route to Charlotte, NC for some gigs during the C.I.A.A. Tournament festivities when he reportedly felt ill. The discomfort and weakness was enough for the MC to stop and get checked out at a nearby hospital. Doctors diagnosed him as being extremely dehydrated and provided the fatigued rapper with intravenous fluids.

Due to his hospitalization he missed a Friday night show, but was released Saturday (Feb. 28) morning. He plans to go on with his tour which continues through mid-March hitting spots in Louisiana and Texas.

Dehydration is a real issue among touring entertainers. A number of rappers have been sidelined due to simply not getting enough rest and fluids while extremely exerting themselves night after night on tour. Last September, August Alsina was in a coma for three days after collapsing during a show due to exhaustion or dehydration. In September 2013, Trina fainted in Florida airport and was diagnosed with “dehydration and overexertion.” Lil Wayne suffered back-to-back seizures in 2012 due to dehydration and migraines.

The moral of the story is, don't stay thirsty, my friends. Stay hydrated.
