BATON ROUGE – Baton Rouge rapper Boosie BadAzz is taking to social media to ask Republican politicians if they’ve heard of his attempt to get a pardon from President Donald Trump, one that he allegedly paid a pair of lobbyists $600,000 to secure for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
WBRZ previously reported Boosie is asking for half of his money back from lobbyists Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, who work at JM Burkman & Associates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Boosie said the pair claimed to have gotten the pardon on New Year’s Day, which would have wiped the rapper’s federal rap sheet, preventing him from being sentenced for possessing a firearm as a felon. However, the pardon never showed up.<\/p>\n
According to Boosie’s social media post Wednesday, emails from JM Burkman to the rapper namedropped Republican Speaker of the U.S. House Mike Johnson, Conservative activist Erika Kirk, and right-wing media personalities Mike Cernovich and Laura Loomer as advocates to him receiving a pardon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rapper asked in a public post if the group had any contact with the lobbying agency about his situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a response, Loomer said, “I\u2019m sorry\u2026 who?”<\/p>\n
Cernovich also answered, saying he did not have any knowledge about his pardon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Hey Lil Boosie, I don’t privately advocate for pardons nor accept money to do so. I do promote pardons publicly, with full transparency. Nothing against you, but never recommended a pardon for you nor even knew you wanted one,” Cernovich posted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
