Boosie Badazz has made it clear he wants a pardon from the state of Louisiana a day after congratulating Meek Mill for getting one himself.

On Sunday (January 15), Boosie took to his Twitter to ask the state to pardon him for all his past legal issues. The Louisiana native kept his request fairly simple and asked for a pardon.

“LOUISIANA CAN I GET A PARDON,” Boosie asked in his tweet.

Boosie Badazz has had his fair share of run-ins with the law. In 2009, the Baton Rouge rapper was arrested for a third-offense marijuana possession charge and violation of probation. Two years later, while still incarcerated, the rapper was sentenced to an additional eight years of hard labor after pleading guilty to drug charges stemming from an attempt to smuggle codeine, ecstasy and marijuana into prison.

According to USA Today, the drug charges brought against the Bad Azz Entertainment founder came while he awaited trial for first-degree murder charges after he allegedly ordered a hit on a 35-year-old Baton Rouge man in late 2009. Boosie was found not guilty by a Baton Rouge jury in May of 2012.

Boosie’s pardon request came a day after he showed his excitement over Meek Mill getting a pardon from the governor of Pennsylvania over the weekend. He congratulated Meek and gave him advice regarding what this could do for other people who are incarcerated.

“@MeekMill Mill GOT A PARDON!!,” the Baton Rouge rapper tweeted. “THATS SUM Powefulshit [hands raised emoji]!! THATS REAL POWER!! U N YOUR TEAM CAN CHANGE LAWS N BRING ALOT OF REAL ONES HOME FROM PRISON WHO HAVE BEEN WRONGED!! KEEP GOING YOUNG KING [crown emoji] I BELIEVE YOU CAN MAKE SOME CHANGES FOR THE ONES GONE #mademesmilethismorning.”

Meek took to Instagram last week to share the certificate he received signed by Governor Tom Wolf that outlined his prior convictions and the decision for him to be relieved of the legal consequences resulting from them. The Dream Chasers boss was one of 369 recipients to receive a pardon from Governor Wolf this week, bringing his total to 2,540 since being sworn into 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.”
