Lil Wayne, Kodak Black Reportedly Included on Trump's Pardon Consideration List

[Sanity Check]

Bloomberg reports Lil Wayne and Kodak Black are among the people that Donald Trump is considering pardoning in his final days in office. Trump will reportedly announce these pardons on Jan. 19, his final day as president.
Wayne gained Trump’s favor when he praised his so-called work on criminal reform and his vision to help Black communities with the “Platinum Plan.” While Wayne didn’t explicitly say he was endorsing Trump, his show of support just days before the election seemed to imply which candidate he wanted to see in office for the next four years.

In November, Wayne was charged with one count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon after a gold-plated handgun was found on the private plane he was using to travel from Los Angeles to Miami in December 2019. He plead guilty the following month with his legal team seeking a sentence between 12 to 18 months. Prosecutors are pushing for a starting point of 15 months.


Kodak's situation was once again brought to Trump's attention when Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson took to Twitter earlier this week to request that he commute his sentence before leaving office.

Trump is reportedly mulling whether to give preemptive pardons to several members of his administration, including Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and senior adviser Stephen Miller. His daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner are also being considered. As reported earlier today, Trump has discussed the unprecedented move of pardoning himself.

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. – President Trump granted a full pardon to Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., also known as “Lil Wayne.” Mr. Carter pled guilty to possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, owing to a conviction over 10 years ago. Brett Berish of Sovereign Brands, who supports a pardon for Mr. Carter, describes him as “trustworthy, kind-hearted and generous.” 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, who also wrote in support of this pardon, calls Mr. Wayne “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.”


Bill K. Kapri – President Trump granted a commutation to Bill Kapri, more commonly known as Kodak Black. Kodak Black is a prominent artist and community leader. This commutation is supported by numerous religious leaders, including Pastor Darrell Scott and Rabbi Schneur Kaplan. Additional supporters include Bernie Kerik, Hunter Pollack, Gucci Mane, Lil Pump, Lil Yachty, Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, Jack Brewer formerly of the National Football League, and numerous other notable community leaders. Kodak Black was sentenced to 46 months in prison for making a false statement on a Federal document. He has served nearly half of his sentence. Before his conviction and after reaching success as a recording artist, Kodak Black became deeply involved in numerous philanthropic efforts. In fact, he has committed to supporting a variety of charitable efforts, such as providing educational resources to students and families of fallen law enforcement officers and the underprivileged. In addition to these efforts, he has paid for the notebooks of school children, provided funding and supplies to daycare centers, provided food for the hungry, and annually provides for underprivileged children during Christmas. Most recently while still incarcerated, Kodak Black donated $50,000 to David Portnoy’s Barstool Fund, which provides funds to small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Kodak Black’s only request was that his donation go toward restaurants in his hometown.
