Trump Reportedly Considering Presidential Pardons For Lil Wayne And Kodak Black
Mr. Trump got a lot on his plate right now but apparently, he has been considering pardoning several people before he leaves office including Lil Wayne and Kodak Black.
According to NME citing Bloomberg, both rappers appear on the list of individuals Trump may announce the pardoning of on January 19 – which will be his last full day in office.

As it was previously reported, Wayne pled guilty to a federal firearms charge last month relating to a 2019 incident, in which he was arrested for illegal possession of a handgun during a flight on his jet from California to Florida. He is expected to appear in court on January 28 and faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Now, Trump pardoning Wayne doesn’t seem unrealistic since the two seem to be pretty good friends. The rap star met with Trump back in October of last year to endorse him, ahead of the big presidential election. “Just had a great meeting with [Trump] besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done,” he said over a picture with the President.
As for Kodak Black, he has been pleading with the President to help him get out of jail. He was sentenced to 46 months in prison on federal weapons charges. He’s admitted to lying on background-check forms while buying multiple firearms. The rappers are among a longer list of potential pardons, including family members, senior White House officials, and possibly even himself!
