President Trump Pardons Lil Wayne, Kodak Black

President Trump came through for Lil Wayne with a full pardon that gets him off the hook for a gun charge that could’ve meant serious prison time, and rapper Kodak Black also got a full pardon.

Wayne’s pardon announcement included a statement of support by Brett Berish of Sovereign Brands, who described him as “trustworthy, kind-hearted and generous.” The pardon statement then reads, “Mr. Carter has exhibited this generosity through commitment to a variety of charities, including donations to research hospitals and a host of foodbanks.”

Deion Sanders, also a supporter of the pardon, referred to Lil Wayne as “a provider for his family, a friend to many, a man of faith, a natural giver to the less fortunate, a waymaker [and] a game changer.”

Weezy’s pardon came just hours before the sun set on Trump’s Presidency … and it’s just one of a stack of pardons, including Kodak Black. Black, who was sentenced to 46 months in prison for making a false statement on a Federal document, served nearly half his sentence.

The pardon statement notes he has been charitable in various ways, “such as providing educational resources to students and families of fallen law enforcement officers and the underprivileged.” It goes on to note KB has provided funding to daycare centers, helped with food banks and worked with underprivileged children. And, the statement notes Kodak donated $50k to Dave Portnoy‘s Barstool Fund, which provides financial assistance to struggling businesses in the wake of COVID.

Wayne endorsed Trump in the final days of the 2020 election campaign — posing for a photo, talking up Trump’s criminal justice reform efforts and his proposed “platinum plan” to benefit the Black community.

With the pardon … Weezy no longer has to worry about his federal gun case. As we reported … he pled guilty in federal court last month to illegally possessing a loaded weapon while traveling to Miami on a private jet a year earlier.
