UPDATE: It’s official - Lil Wayne has been pardoned by Donald Trump. The rapper was among the seventy-three (73) recipients of Trump’s last-day pardons.
President Donald Trump is reportedly expected to pardon rapper Lil Wayne for his federal gun charge before his term ends. Trump is believed to have a pretty lengthy list of names for his final round of commutations and pardons - an estimated 50 to 100 people.
Reports state that the President will reveal his final list of pardons by Wednesday morning (20th January 2021) - just before Joe Biden's inauguration. Lil Wayne endured a lot of heat by endorsing Trump in the days leading up to the 2020 Election and this may be Trump’s “thank you” note to ‘Weezy.’ Lil Wayne even posed for a photo with Trump and touted his track record with criminal justice reform, along with the Trump administration's proposed "platinum plan" for helping the Black community. Trump also praised Lil Wayne as an activist and a "really nice guy."
Lil Wayne pled guilty in federal court last month for illegally possessing a loaded weapon while traveling to Miami on a private jet in 2019. Since the rapper is a convicted felon, he's facing the possibility of up to ten (10) years in prison. However, he's likely to get far less than that for agreeing to the guilty plea.
A Presidential pardon from Trump will of course mean all this stress goes away for the rapper.
