Trump granted a full pardon to Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. The rapper was charged in Florida on Nov. 17 with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, a federal offense that carries a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
Carter wasn't the only rapper to be pardoned. Kodak Black, whose real name is Bill Kahan Kapri, was also granted a commutation by the outgoing president.
In 2019, the "Tunnel Vision" rapper was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to weapons charges stemming from his arrest just before a scheduled concert performance.
Earlier this month, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson advocated for the commutation of Kapri on Twitter.
