Lil Wayne And Kodak Black Officially Pardoned – Report

Lil Wayne And Kodak Black Officially Pardoned – Report! News of possible presidential pardon lists have flooded the internet lately as President Donald Trump paves way for the Joe Biden administration at White House. The rumors have only left many guessing, but names of two notable figures in the Hip Hop Industry have been consistent.

More news regarding Trump’s choices just surfaced moments ago. According to a report both Lil Wayne and Kodak Black have been officially pardoned by President Donald Trump.

“Trump pardoned rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black who were prosecuted on federal weapons offenses, as well as former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who was serving a 28-year prison term on corruption charges, a senior administration official said,” tweeted a Reuters reporter. Soon, similar reports began to circulate indicating that the rumor could, indeed, be true.

Lil Wayne was charged with possession of firearms by the United States District Attorney in the Southern District of Florida. If convicted, the rapper would serve a sentence of not less than ten years given the fact that he is a convicted felon. Kodak Black, a florida based rapper on the other hand found himself behind bars after being convicted last year for the same crime.

While some reports say that Trump has granted both artists pardons, others claim that they’ve been given clemency. In the former, both rappers would be forgiven of the charges against them, while the latter means that charges may be reduced. 

Reports also show that Snoop Dogg has successfully lobbied on behalf of Michael “Harry-O” Harris, one of the co-founders of Death Row. Back in 1988, Harris was convicted of reported attempted murder and kidnapping charges but thanks to Trump, he has a new lease on life as his sentence has been commuted.
