Overview
- The civil complaint filed in late July says the May 24, 2026 incident at Houston’s Dome Nightclub left security guard Edward Iglehart II bleeding heavily and hospitalized after he was struck with a broken glass hookah.
- Iglehart is suing Torrence “Boosie Badazz” Hatch for assault, battery and defamation and is also naming 1720 Main Street Entities, the club owner, for allegedly overserving Boosie and his guests and creating an unsafe workplace.
- Boosie was arrested in May on an aggravated assault charge tied to the same nightclub incident, and the new lawsuit opens a separate civil track that can seek money damages regardless of the criminal case outcome.
- Boosie’s attorney Carl A. Moore said the rapper was defending a female relative and will vigorously investigate and defend him, and no substantive public response to the newly filed complaint had been issued at press time.
- The case could have wider consequences for Boosie’s legal standing because prosecutors have already flagged the nightclub incident in efforts to revoke his supervised release and a criminal court date is scheduled for September.
