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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.”
