Joe Biden Pardons BMF Cofounder Terry Flenory

by

Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, a cofounder of the criminal enterprise Black Mafia Family (BMF), recently received a grant of clemency from United States President Joe Biden on December 12. Moreover, it’s part of the executive’s larger move to pardon a lot of people released from prison and placed under house arrest during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Now It’s official!” Flenory wrote on social media alongside a picture of the clemency affidavit and a video of his ankle monitor being removed. “@realbigmeechmom I understand you were excited, so last week you let the cat out the bag. It’s been a journey, but prayer and unwavering faith beyond mere human comprehension got us to this point. Never once acted in my own ability nor doing anything to anyone to help myself. So the gloves are off the gag orders are up and all the naysayers have to suck it up. #godisgood.”

In addition, this follows another update on the status of fellow BMF cofounder Big Meech. He will serve the rest of his sentence at a Florida halfway house and then carry out a supervised release for five years.

Terry Flenory Celebrates Clemency From Joe Biden

For those unaware, in 2008, the court sentenced Big Meech and his brother Terry Flenory to 30 years in federal prison for drug trafficking. Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic eventually exacerbated a lot of their challenges from behind bars, as it created various risks to public health in correctional institutions. The government’s leniency in responding to this matter meant that Southwest T traded federal jail for a house arrest term in 2020 in order to fulfill what remained of his sentence. This presidential pardon from Joe Biden now commutes his remaining sentence.

Meanwhile, Terry Flenory’s freedom comes after 50 Cent and Big Meech teased a huge collab on the way, although fans have no idea what it will actually look like. Will it contribute to the television universe of BMF and Fif’s media empire as a whole, will it relate to music, or is it something we can’t possibly predict? We can’t deny that the last option sounds quite exciting. But the Flenorys deserve much more peace and alone time than they deserve to feed our hunger for more developments.

PLEASE DONT DO THIS anyway congratulations on your win LETS GET THIS MONEY N DROP THESE TAXES sh*t killing me.”

Boosie Badazz Begs “Whoever Wins” For Presidential Pardon Amid Gun Case

by

Boosie Badazz is no stranger to legal trouble, but last month, the Louisiana-born rapper thought he’d finally seen the end of his longwinded battle over a federal gun charge. The case was dismissed, but just weeks later, he revealed that he had been indicted again. According to him, it was on the same charge, as well as a new one.

For obvious reasons, he wasn’t happy and proceeded to put federal prosecutor Michael Wheat on blast in a post on X. “WHY YOU DIDNT CHARGE ME WITH THAT THE FIRST TIME?” he wrote. “THIS MAN HAS A SERIOUS VENDETTA OF HATE AGAINST ME.” Now, he’s taken to X once again, this time to ask both Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump to help him out depending on who gets elected.

“MY CASE GOT DISMISSED FOR A RULING THAT WAS MADE N THE 9th CIRCUIT COURT,” he began. “2 WEEKS LATER THE RULING GETS VACATED.

FOR BEING A USER LOL NO REHAB ,NO PROBATION SENT STRAIGHT TO PRISON .AT THIS POINT I NEED A PARDEN FROM WHOEVER WINS,” he wrote, tagging both Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Clearly, Boosie is hopeful that one of them can help him amid his legal battle. It remains to be seen whether or not his wish will be granted. What do you think of Boosie Badazz asking whoever wins the presidential race for a pardon? Do you think he’ll get one or not? What about him getting indicted again on the same charge that had previously been dropped? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Adin Ross Wants To Ask Donald Trump To Pardon Tory Lanez

by

Adin Ross’ upcoming stream with Donald Trump is sure to ruffle a lot of feathers online. In fact, as of writing this article, the two are supposed to go live in about an hour, so make sure to check for updates on that on HNHH if you’re reading this later in the day. Regardless of the controversy behind the 2024 U.S. presidential election and whether or not you agree with these men’s politics, it should make for at least an interesting and pretty significant viral pop culture moment. Apparently, Ross also let his fans know that he would be asking the convicted former president for a very important favor to him: pardoning Tory Lanez.

If you’re reading this from under a rock, you might not know that Tory Lanez is currently serving time in jail for being found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion a couple of years ago. During a recent Adin Ross livestream, the Canadian artist called in, as the two share quite the close relationship. Lanez revealed that he graduated high school while behind bars, and that he enrolled in college to continue his education. This is very heartening news no matter what you think of that case, and it’s great to see him make something meaningful, beneficial, and fulfilling out of an otherwise difficult and contentious situation.

Adin Ross Wants Trump To Free Tory Lanez

As for Donald Trump’s ability to pardon Tory Lanez and free him from prison if he wins the election, Adin Ross might feel disappointment. Some social media users have pointed out that a president of the United States can only pardon federal cases. Since Tory has a state case, then California’s governor Gavin Newsom would have to issue the pardon, and he and Trump aren’t exactly the best of pals. But we guess that anything could happen in today’s chaotic and grim political climate in the U.S., so we wouldn’t put it past anyone.

Meanwhile, Tory Lanez hasn’t found much success when it comes to reducing his sentence or appealing the verdict of his case. Most recently, an attorney general shut down his legal team’s motion for the court to admit more “relevant evidence” in the case. This, if approved, could’ve led to a chance for the defense to point out supposed issues with the last trial and mitigate his current situation. Whether or not a presidential pardon (if Trump wins) would fix any of this remains a contentious and unlikely mystery… but we’ll see what happens.

Snoop Dogg Says Donald Trump Has His “Love & Respect” For Pardon

by

Snoop Dogg recently doubled down on his goodwill for Donald Trump during a recent interview with The Times, and if you weren’t already aware, this isn’t his first rodeo when it comes to this support. “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me,” he shared. “He has done only great things for me.” Specifically, Tha Doggfather referred to the disgraced former president’s pardon of Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris, one of his last acts before he left office in January of 2021. “So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” he concluded.

Furthermore, this is what the Long Beach legend had to say a couple of years ago when news of this pardon broke. “That’s great work for the president and his team on the way out,” Snoop Dogg expressed. “They did some great work while they was in there and they did some great work on their way out. Let them know that I love what they did. It is amazing what the work of God can actually bring to life to make people understand that there is a God.”

Snoop Dogg Doubles Down On Donald Trump Praise

However, Snoop Dogg wasn’t always a fan of Donald Trump. “So, me and my homeboys sittin’ up here talkin’ about all the people that President Trump disrespected,” he recalled in September of 2020. “Women, gays, transgender people, Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, and now veterans. Hm. Seems like he’s disrespecting every color in the world and everything that ain’t what he is, which is a racist. With that being said, the people that voted for him got exactly what they wanted. They gave them what he said he was gon’ do. So, the next motherf***er, you better tell us what we gon’ get for your vote. You better show up and deliver, period. We just want some peace, love, equality, and tranquility for everybody. All lives. Just basic conversation. Now carry on.”

If you didn’t already know that Snoop changed his mind because of Trump’s pardon -– which doesn’t excuse his politics -– then you might see this as part of a recent wave of endorsements for him. Benny The Butcher recently caught flack for his support, which he explained in an interview with The Breakfast Club. Whether you agree with this forgiveness or not, it’s clear that the West Coast MC is speaking from a wholly personal perspective, and not that which he employed in the past to speak on the criminal. For more news on Donald Trump and the latest updates on Snoop Dogg, stick around on HNHH.

Kodak Black May Be Forced To Serve Jail Sentence Originally Pardoned By Donald Trump

by

Plenty of strange happened between the world of politics and hip-hop during the Trump era. From his on-stage appearance with Lil Pump where he famously mistook his name for Lil Pimp to Kanye West being invited to the Whitehouse which spawned numerous meme worthy moments. But one of the most interesting moments came when Trump faced pressure from the hip-hop community to commute the sentence of Kodak Black. He eventually caved to that pressure and Kodak was released.

But following recent legal trouble Kodak Black may end up having to serve that sentence anyway. Last month, Kodak was found in his car with the engine still running and signs of alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine present. As a result he was arrested and charged with a number of crimes, headlined by cocaine possession. He’s been in jail ever since and will remain there for two more weeks until a hearing to evaluate reinstating his previously commuted sentence. According to AllHipHop, that hearing is due to take place on January 22. It could result in the sentence that Trump delayed being served anyway.

Kodak Black Could Serve Previously Commuted Sentence

After his arrest, Kodak’s lawyers filed for a 90-Day drug treatment program. It was an attempt to try and help the rapper overcome addiction issues. But it was only a few days later that the judge shut down that proposal. In his decision he described Kodak as a “danger to the community.”

That decision came after Kodak’s lawyers attempted to dispute the cocaine charges. They claim that what police thought was cocaine was actually Percocets. Despite that claim, the judge wasn’t any more likely to allow him to enter the drug treatment program and hasn’t yet altered the original charges. Kodak released his last album When I Was Dead in November of last year. The project featured the hit song “Lemme See” which has more than 8 million streams on Spotify. What do you think of Kodak Black having to potentially serve a commuted sentence 4 years later? Let us know in the comment section below.

Boosie Badazz Praises Meek Mill After Recent Pardon

by

Boosie Badazz shared praise for Meek Mill on Twitter, Saturday, after Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf pardoned the Philadelphia rapper. Wolf gave out pardons to a total of 369 recipients during the week.

“@MeekMill Mill GOT A PARDON!!,” Boosie wrote in his post. “THATS SUM Powefulshit [hands raised emoji]!! THATS REAL POWER!! U N YOUR TEAM CAN CHANGE LAWS N BRING ALOT OF REAL ONES HOME FROM PRISON WHO HAVE BEEN WRONGED!! KEEP GOING YOUNG KING [crown emoji] I BELIEVE YOU CAN MAKE SOME CHANGES FOR THE ONES GONE #mademesmilethismorning”

In another post, Boosie further added: “LOUISIANA CAN I GET A PARDON?”

Meek had been convicted on firearms and drug charges back in 2008. He also received a two-to-four-year prison sentence for violating his probation a decade later.

I’m only gone do more for my community on god,” Meek wrote on social media after the pardon.

In total, Wolf has now pardoned 2,540 Pennsylvanians since taking office in 2015.

“I have taken this process very seriously — reviewing and giving careful thought to each and every one of these 2,540 pardons and the lives they will impact,” Wolf said in a statement. “Every single one of the Pennsylvanians who made it through the process truly deserves their second chance, and it’s been my honor to grant it.”

He continued: “A record prevents positive forward motion in a person’s life, and can spark a repetitive cycle of defeat. I firmly believe that with restored rights, pardoned Pennsylvanians prove themselves by stepping up and giving back to our communities.”
