Boosie Responds To Criticism After Asking Donald Trump For Presidential Pardon
On Sunday, March 15, Boosie hopped on X (formerly Twitter) and dropped a lengthy post addressing the backlash over his decision to ask Donald Trump for a presidential pardon. The New Orleans rapper said the reactions caught him off guard, and he feels like folks are throwing shade because some people want to see him behind bars or they’re just jealous of his success.
“I CANT BELIVE PEOPLE MAD AT ME FOR ASKING TRUMP FOR A PARDON WHEN I ASKED KAMALA SEVERAL TIMES ON TWITTER FOR A PARDON
THIS SHOWS THESE THINGS
1. YOU’RE A RACIST
2. YOU JUST WANT ME LOCKED UP
3. YOU’RE JEALOUS OF ME N MY SUCCESS
4. ALL OF THE ABOVE”
On top of that, Boosie pointed out that nobody kept that same energy when Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden for the same charge.
“DID U SAY ANYTHING TO BIDEN/KAMALA WHEN HE SAID HE WOULDNT PARDEN HIS SON BUT DID ANYWAY N WE HAD THE SAME CHARGE

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.
