Lil Wayne and Kodak Black were among the 143 pardons and commutations issued by Donald Trump in the final hours of his presidency. Lil Wayne's lawyer Bradford Cohen is speaking out about the pardon, saying that the rapper didn't support Trump publicly during his re-election campaign just to get pardoned. He told the NY Times, “It never hurts that someone gets a full understanding of an individual when they’re just looking at a piece of paper. In hindsight, I guess it worked out.”
Wayne was charged with illegally possessing a firearm after agents discovered a .45-caliber handgun during a search of his private plane in December 2019. He pleaded guilty and was facing up to 10 years in prison at a sentencing originally scheduled for later this month.
KODAK BLACK THANKS DONALD TRUMP
Meanwhile, Kodak Black took to Twitter to thank Trump for commuting his sentence. He tweeted, “I Want To Thank The President @RealDonaldTrump For His Commitment To Justice Reform And Shortening My Sentence. I Also Want To Thank Everyone For Their Support And Love. It Means More Than You Will Ever Know. I Want To Continue Giving Back, Learning And Growing.”
