Boosie Reaches Out To Trump After 2023 Gun Case Resurfaces
In 2025, Boosie pleaded with Donald Trump to grant him a pardon after authorities revisited his gun charge. Federal agents arrested Boosie in June 2023 after they spotted footage from his instagram Live. According to documents obtained by TMZ at the time, authorities claimed he had a gun tucked in his wristband during a May 2023 video. The situation pushed him to reach out to Trump and ask for help reviewing his case. Boosie also argued that the U.S. Department of Justice under Joe Biden hit him with the charge again even after Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden.
“Trump CHECK MY CASE OUT
MY CASE WAS DISMISSED BUT BIDENS DOJ RECHARGED ME WITH THE SAME GUN CHARGE BIDEN PARDON HIS SON OF .I WAS TOLD I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE COUNTRY FACING THAT CHARGE NOW. PRESIDENT TRUMP,” Boosie wrote on X in 2025.
