AceShowbiz - Boosie Badazz wasted no time in reaching out to President-elect Donald Trump, less than 24 hours after Trump's win over Kamala Harris. The rapper, who is facing federal gun charges in San Diego, is seeking a presidential pardon, arguing that he's a non-violent person.
"CAN U PARDON ME ON MY FED CASE? I'm a NON VIOLENT FELON. THE COURTS RULED THAT a NON VIOLENT CANNOT BE CHARGED WITH A 922g. THE JUDGE DISMISSED MY CASE BUT THE RULING HAS BEEN APPEALED!! SO ONCE AGAIN I WAS INDICTED IM FIGHTING THIS CASE!! THIS IS THE EXACT CASE to US VS DUARTE THAT WAS RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL," Boosie wrote on social media.
Boosie also called on Trump to reconsider the issue of police immunity, expressing concerns that it could lead to an increase in deadly police crimes. "Oh one more thing can u sit down with me n talk about U GIVING POLICE immunity. I THINK THIS WILL MOTIVATE OFFICERS TO COMMIT DEADLY CRIMES. PLEASE DONT DO THIS anyway congratulations on your win LETS GET THIS MONEY N DROP THESE TAXES s**t killing me," he added.
The rapper's plea has generated mixed reactions online, with many users either mocking him or suggesting that he wait until Trump officially takes office. Some comments included sarcastic remarks such as "Not you begging," while others noted the speed at which Boosie made his request. Despite the humor, there was also a concerted effort by some followers to draw Trump's attention to Boosie's appeal by tagging the President's official social media handle.
Boosie's legal troubles have been ongoing, with previous charges including felony possession of a firearm and transporting firearms across highways, incidents that stem from an arrest in June 2023. His case has seen multiple twists, with a judge dismissing the gun possession charge in July, only for Boosie to be re-indicted two weeks later.
Additionally, he faces charges of possessing a firearm and ammunition by a felon and knowingly possessing a firearm while under the influence of a controlled substance. If convicted, Boosie could face up to a decade in prison.
Boosie has been vocal about his frustrations, both legal and financial, culminating in his recent social media posts. This isn't his first brush with the law; he was previously incarcerated in 2009 for gun and drug-related charges. Whether Trump's administration will respond to his plea remains to be seen, but Boosie Badazz continues to publicly fight his legal battles, hoping for a resolution in his favor.
