Lil Wayne Thanks Donald Trump For Granting Him Presidential Pardon

Rapper Lil Wayne took to his Twitter handle to thank former US President Donald Trump for granting him presidential pardon.

Donald Trump granted rapper Lil Wayne a full presidential pardon in his final hours as the US president.

In November, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida revealed that Wayne faced a federal weapons charge relating to a December 2019 incident at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport.

He pleaded guilty in December and was facing up to 10 years in prison.

However, earlier this week, a statement about Wayne’s pardon was released by the White House and noted the rapper’s commitment to charity as a reason for the pardon.

“I want to thank President Trump for recognizing that I have so much more to give to my family, my art, and my community. I also want to thank @bradfordcohen for working so diligently to secure another chance for me. Love!

– Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.”

Days before the 2020 presidential election, Lil Wayne tweeted a photo he took with Trump and seemed to endorse Trump.
