Once Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, we knew it would only be a matter of time before the office once again became a beacon for chaos. Count rapper Boosie Badazz as one of the first celebrities to take advantage of the new crazy world we’ll have to survive...again.
On Wednesday, he hopped on X to send a message asking the president-elect for help with his legal issues. As previously reported by The Root, back in July 2023, his federal gun possession charge was dismissed by a judge. However, two weeks later, he found himself with new charges, including “possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon in interstate commerce and knowingly possessing a firearm while dealing with abuse of a controlled substance.”

With the possibility of a 10-year sentence looming, Boosie asked for a pardon from “whoever wins” the presidential election. Now that there’s a winner, he’s doubled down on his request.
“@realDonaldTrump CAN U PARDON ME ON MY FED CASE? i’m a NON VIOLENT FELON,” Boosie wrote. “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!!”
After his personal plea, Boosie continued his post by appealing to Trump’s belief that he’s a smart policy maker. The rapper wants to discuss police immunity with him, a conversation we’re sure we’ll yield meaningful change.
“oh one more thing can u sit down with me n talk about U GIVING POLICE immunity,” he continued. “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. shit killing me.”
We know the word “normal” doesn’t apply to a Trump presidency, so Boosie is probably just the first in what will be a long line of public figures who use social media to connect with the MAGA leader and play on his love of attention for personal gain.
