Original Post:
Webbie is not dead, he’s alive and well. I panicked when I heard Boosie’s new song, “Webbie I Remember.” The song sounds like a track you record after your homie passes away but Boosie just wanted to show Webbie some love. The song is from Boosie’s upcoming BooPac album, scheduled to release on December 15, 2017.
On “Webbie I Remember” Boosie reminisces about all the good times he shared with Webbie. The track reminds me of Lil Wayne’s 2004 hit “I Miss My Dawgs” from The Carter. Like Wayne, Boosie gets emotional on “Webbie I Remember.” Boosie raps about Webbie’s reaction to his cancer scare and when Webbie landed his record deal with Trill Entertainment.
Webbie shared the following post on Instagram showing that he approves of Boosie’s new track:

Why Boosie make a song abt Webbie like he dead?— Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde (@MisterRDot) December 8, 2017
I can’t wait to hear some new music from Boosie and Webbie. I’ve been a fan of the duo since they released their first joint album, Ghetto Stories in 2003.
Boosie got me thinking Webbie dead 😅😅— YE🧘🏾♀️💛🥡 (@tiwyay) December 8, 2017
Boosie also discusses Webbie’s mother in “Webbie I Remember.” She passed away when Webbie was 9 so he was raised by his father and grandmother in Baton Rouge. Boosie and Webbie have enjoyed massive success together. In 2004, they released their second joint album Gangsta Musik which featured their hit song “Swerve”
