Donald Trump could pardon Lil Wayne from 10-year prison sentence
January 19, 2021
Rapper Lil Wayne may be on Donald Trump’s good side as he is reportedly one of around 100 people to be pardoned before Trump’s exit from the White House.
The rapper pleaded guilty to a federal gun charge and could be facing a 10-year prison sentence.
The Lollipop rapper had been embroiled in controversy after a photograph of him meeting Trump at the White House made rounds online.
Many speculated that the move was to endorse him for the presidential elections against Joe Biden, just days prior.
"Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus 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 while sharing a photo of himself with the then-president online.
According to Fox News, Trump has a list of 50 to 100 people for pardons and commutations, which includes the rapper, that was finalised on Sunday.
According to sources, there is a chance that Trump’s administration will sign on the papers.
