It's slang for close friend, but it's a little dated. You're more likely to hear people just say "boy."
For ex: "That's my boy"
meaning: "That's my good friend."
Again, it's really informal and unlikely you would need to use it.

It's slang for mate/brother/friend. particularly in a 90s urban setting. It's not used often anymore.
