Boosie Badazz has made a surprising appeal to the future president, regardless of the outcome of the 2024 election. The rapper seeks a presidential pardon from either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump.
Taking to social media, Boosie detailed his legal troubles and the need for clemency. The urgency in his plea reflects the gravity of his situation.
Boosie’s Legal Battle
In a tweet on August 31, Boosie explained how his case was dismissed, only to have the ruling vacated two weeks later. “MY CASE GOT DISMISSED FOR A RULING THAT WAS MADE N THE 9th CIRCUIT COURT. 2 WEEKS LATER THE RULING GETS VACATED,” he shared.
He emphasized feeling targeted by powerful individuals who allegedly harbor deep animosity towards him. “I GOT SOME POWERFUL PEOPLE WHO HATE ME WITH EVERY BONE N THEY BODY,” Boosie wrote, clearly showing his frustration.
Background of the Case
Boosie has been battling legal issues for some time. In July, he accused a prosecutor of racism after being re-indicted in a San Diego gun case. The case was initially dismissed but soon after, the same charges were reinstated.
Boosie faces charges of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon in interstate commerce. He is also accused of knowingly possessing a firearm while under the influence of controlled substances.
Implications of the Charges
If convicted, Boosie could face up to 10 years in prison. The indictments indicate prosecutors are pushing hard to secure a conviction.
The prosecutors also aim to seize any firearms and ammunition related to the alleged offenses. This adds another layer of complexity to Boosie’s legal troubles, amplifying his need for a pardon.
Boosie’s plea for a pardon comes amid these intensified legal challenges, highlighting the precarious nature of his freedom.
Boosie’s Request to the Future President
Boosie is appealing to both 2024 presidential candidates, showing his desperation. He tagged Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in his tweet.
Despite his willingness to work with any future president, Boosie has a rocky history with Donald Trump. This includes his stern opposition to Trump’s hardline stance on drug crimes.
Past Tensions with Donald Trump
In 2022, Boosie publicly criticized Trump’s proposal to impose the death penalty for drug dealers. Boosie tweeted, “Death penalty for drug dealers WTF!!” He questioned whether Trump would apply the same penalty to white police officers who kill innocent Black men.
Boosie’s disagreement with Trump on drug policies underscores the complicated dynamics in his current plea for a pardon.
However, facing severe legal repercussions, Boosie is willing to negotiate with any leader who could grant him clemency.
Social Media Reactions to Boosie’s Plea
Social media has erupted in response to Boosie’s appeal. Many of his followers expressed their support and hope that he gets the pardon.
The online community remains divided, with some questioning the legitimacy of his claims while others highlight the racial and judicial biases they believe he faces.
Boosie’s plea for a pardon is a bold move reflecting his dire circumstances. His willingness to engage with any future president shows the desperation and high stakes involved.
As the 2024 election approaches, it remains to be seen whether his appeal will influence the candidates’ perspectives on criminal justice reform.
