If there’s one thing Boosie Badazz is good at, it’s running his mouth and finding himself in some sort of legal trouble.
Unfortunately for him, that appears to be the predicament he’s in once again—only this time, he’s hoping to rope in Vice President Kamala Harris and/or former President Donald Trump. I’ll explain.
For context, back in July, a judge dismissed the rapper’s federal gun possession charge that stemmed from an arrest during a traffic stop in May 2023. However, less than two weeks later, the “Wipe Me Down” rapper was facing two new charges: possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon in interstate commerce and knowingly possessing a firearm while dealing with abuse of a controlled substance. If convicted he faces up to 10 years in prison.
Now, he’s seeking a pardon from “whoever wins” the upcoming presidential election to get him out his legal conundrum.
“MY CASE GOT DISMISSED FOR A RULING THAT WAS MADE N THE 9th CIRCUIT COURT .2 WEEKS LATER THE RULING GETS VACATED,” he wrote in a post to X/Twitter. “SMH SOON AS I CELEBRATE THE LAW IS VACATED GTFOH I GOT SOME POWERFUL PEOPLE WHO HATE ME WITH EVERY BONE N THEY BODY. I WAS SENT TO PRISON FOR 10 YEARS FOR 3rd MARIJUANA. FOR BEING A USER LOL NO REHAB ,NO PROBATION SENT STRAIGHT TO PRISON .AT THIS POINT I NEED A PARDEN FROM WHOEVER WINS @VP @realDonaldTrump.”
Asking VP Harris for a pardon is rich coming from the “Set It Off” rapper given his history of speaking ill towards her. On the other hand, should Trump get re-elected and hand out a pardon to Badazz, it would fall right in line with the handful of rappers who he’s taken executive action for such as Kodak Black and Lil Wayne—making the list of #RappersforTrump grow one person longer. And although Badazz has been outspoken about not supporting Trump, it’ll be interesting to see how he’ll feel if Trump comes through for him in this manner.
