Snoop Dogg and Faith Evans are among the celebrities hoping to see Loon get out of prison. The two have signed a petition asking Donald Trump to commute the former Bad Boy Records artist’s 14-year sentence for a non-violent drug offense.
The petition was created by Weldon Angelos, who was famously released after serving 12 years of a 55-year sentence for his own nonviolent drug offense. Angelos’ case became heavily scrutinized by advocates such as Families Against Mandatory Minimums, who helped lead a campaign that prompted his early release in 2016.
Loon, whose real name is Amir Junaid Muhadith, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for conspiring with intent to distribute one or more kilos of heroin in 2013.
Angelos explained Loon’s situation and pleaded for the rapper’s release in his petition, which has close to 8,000 signatures on Change.org as of Wednesday night (June 26).
“In 2008, Loon left the music industry to pursue a better, positive life after reverting to Islam and was traveling the world as a motivational speaker. He now goes by Amir Junaid Muhadith. However, while he was still in the music industry he made an introduction for someone who was involved with drugs and he got snared in a federal drug conspiracy case. He pleaded guilty for this minor role and agreed to a 14-year sentence to avoid the ‘trial tax’ he would receive if he rejected the government’s plea offer, which included very lengthy mandatory minimum enhancement penalties that would flow from a conviction after trial.
“Prisons should be reserved for those who really need to be there. At the White House Prison Reform Summit, which I had the privilege of attending, you expressed concern for long sentences and stressed the importance of second chances for low-risk offenders. In commuting the prison sentence of Alice Johnson, you stated that ‘those who have paid their debt to society and worked hard to better themselves while in prison deserve a second chance.’ Amir has done both.
“And while thousands of offenders will be released or see their sentences shortened as a result of the First Step Act, the new law does not benefit Amir. He has already served 7 years of his sentence. This should be enough.”
Former NBA star Kevin Garnett and Alice Johnson, who was granted clemency by Trump last year after lobbying by Kim Kardashian West, are among the other notable figures who’ve supported the fight for Loon’s release.

Donald Trump ain’t about to free no black man. Charles Manson would have had a better chance of being set free by Trump than Loon or any other person of color. This is a waste of time
Alice Johnson is Black you stupid fuck.
Lol, you are obvoulst extremely unaware of Trumps pardoning record, and the First Step Act, which Jared Kushner pushed for, congress passed, and Trump signed. Trump is actually extremely willing to hear people out. In fact, he invited those in the NFL who kneel, to contact him with cases of people who they feel have been mistreated by the justice system, and if he agrees with their feeling, he would consider presidential pardons. Guess what? Not a single one of them did that. Because they do it all for different reasons. I like Trump. Knowing Trump, he is very egotistical. He would love to have black support. Trump was cool with the black community up until he beat hillaries ass, and his own parties ass. In Fact, Trum perceives the Ellis Island award, among Rosa Parks. He was also friends with Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton. Oprah was cool with him, so was Snoop, 50 cent, Eminem, Will Smith, ect…. My point is that Trump was always loved by black America… Until mid 2015,when he became a threat to the political system. Everyone who loved him, hates him now. Trump is less racist than any Clinton, Bush, or Obama… Trump has passed more executive orders to appease and attempt to help black leaders with their communities than Obama did. Look at facts. Stop going to the corporate media for your information, aka smear campaigns.
Trump may have pardoned some black people and rubbed elbows or even been pals with some black people, but let’s not act as if he’s about ANYTHING other than money and power. He would just as quickly push any of those people off a cliff it would have been good for his pockets. I don’t think Trump is “evil”, I just think he’s a shallow prick. If that’s the guy you want running your local superstore, fine. But that’s the guy you want representing your country? Nah. We can do better than that. You’re wrapped up in feeling like a “winner” because you voted for him, instead of really looking at the Longview of what is best for the country. Peace.
Yeah, it’s not that he was involved in a
Heroin deal moving weight that’ll keep Trump from springing him, it’s his skin tone. Dummy. People like you with that racist bullshit got Trump elected in the first place. Thanks.
The problem with this statement is that both points are 100% FALSE. Donald Trump actually has pardoned several black men already. Manson died last year and was denied parole for the 20th time before his death.
Do you even care about how the diarrhea that comes out of your mouth affects the rest of us?
Another soul tainted by Diddy
Trump already committed some black people sentences. So the comment made by Average Jack Ass Everlasting is ignorant.
Didn’t Snoop make a music video shooting a dummy looking like Donald Trump? I am sure this will be his first priority after the G20 summit.
Well, come on. He only conspired to sell and or distribute one or more kilos of HEROIN and plead guilty to it. That’s like weed right? Harmless hippies sell keys of smack, not murderous, hardcore criminals. That shit comes from Disneyland in Anaheim, right?
Hhhmm…didn’t the Dogg mocked Donald Trump with make America grim etc..
Nothing “non-violent” about distributing heroin..
Sounds like this has a lot of momentum, so it is likely that it will come to pass. I wonder if Snoop will admit he was wrong about Trump if he does agree to the commutation.
Snoop is an ignant. Of course he wont admit to be wrong
Snoop is a joke. Everyday he is bashing trump and he wants something from him??? gtfoh cornball
Snoop should have kept his opinions about Trump to himself especially if he is asking for favors
Distribution of heroin… he should rot in a cell for life.
They should save that pardon for someone who isn’t about to get out next year anyways
Fuck any drug dealer or drug user.
So, all of America then?
Where’s my guy Kanye when you need him Lol. Bet Loon wishes Snoop didn’t even attach his name to this.
He’s putting the final touches on his sex change in Silicon Valley somewhere. He’s gonna show up as a white woman any day now. I’m not even joking.
Corny
Stop asking this MFer for favors man…you’re making deals with the devil. And honestly, there are other things more important to worry about than Loon’s sentence being expedited. Peace.
He was only distributing heroin, he dindunuffin let the poor man go. Amerikkka your days of holding down the black man are over.
He would get two years in Australia for this. He would serve 90 days tops. Playing with lives, and taking away portions of it, over chemicals and plant soil misuse isn’t constitutional by any stretch, especially when all western countries have different punishments for the same misdemeanour offences. C’mon trump, I know you read this site yo.
Two months for a KILO of heroin and conspiracy to distribute??i hope you have fun with Mexican cartels chopping people’s heads off out there.
After months of talking trash about Trump, now his ass is asking for help? Ooo now he remembered that trump is the president ? smh.
SNOOP, you are a joke.
Sorry Snoop. You let your feelings and unfounded hate of Trump blind you, and took you’re actions too far to support. Trump will not answer this call in part because of your name attached to it. Additionally, this dude pleaded guilty to moving a KILO of heroin, but how much did he push before getting busted? He certainly destroyed lives so the “non-violent” title doesn’t truly fit. Trump will instead use his focus to pardon worthy criminals instead of Mr. Loon. Nice try.
I agree with everything you said except the Non-Violent part. Let’s be real selling pharmaceuticals and illegal drugs is all the same and both ruin lives. However they are indeed considered non-violent so let’s not reach here.
Only when someone sells you pharmaceuticals, they are accredited. You can sue the doctor and the pharmacy if The doses get is off. You’re part of the problem, moron. People hear dumb ass excuse making, and stupid comparisons like yours, and anything else you say is voided. Think before typing or speaking. Oxy etc feeds our LEGAL economy thru insurance, Medicaid, doctors, pharmacists, drug stores. Please trace that same economic chain for a brick of smack. Taliban, Sinaloa Cartel… a heroin dealer is a violent hardcore criminal that answers to even MORE violent hardcore dudes.
STFU the point is selling drugs is in fact a non-violent crime. You sound just as dumb as the other trumptards. And accredited LMAO really when hundreds of these so called accredited Dr. are going to jail for selling illegal doses of the crap. Grow up and read a article sometimes. Idiot, and get off our Hip Hop site while your at it. Hold this L
You took the L yourself, moron. There are less than 100 doctors in the US in jail for over prescribing medication. LOL. 200,000+ killed by cartels and cattle wars since 1996. Do you think heroin isn’t distributed by the worlds most dangerous criminal organizations? You’re a total fuctard. Work hard and get a GED dummy. 5000 drug related homicides last year… 7000 overdose deaths from illegally purchased prescription drugs and illegal drugs in general. Under 200 nation wide deaths from PRESCRIBED medications nation wide. I guess numbers aren’t your thing. LOL. Who took an L on that one? This moron. Drug dealing is a non violent crime. Owe a Hells Angel, Sureno, BD, Blood, veio etc money for dope. See how non violent their reaction will be. People like you are the reason Trump got elected. Thanks. We aren’t talking about weed, dummy.
Still holding the L I see Lol. Losers making multiple post under different names to spread the same ignorance. It’s a fact it’s a non violent crime so do some research idiot and stop trying to draw additional items for how the drugs actually get to the user. No matter how your trumpers try to change facts. Now go and pop your pill and get off of our website. I see 85ers still frequent the comment section LMAO
This moron said get off OUR Hip-hop site. Are you one of the Pakistani dudes who owned it? LOL. What a complete retard. El Chapo is a great example of how drug dealing is a non violent crime. LOL. TONS of dudes out there are moving KILOS of heroin who aren’t violent criminals. Hahahahaha. The funniest, weird SJW shit I’ve heard in a minute. Lós Zetas, Sinaloa, Gulf Cartels. All non violent drug dealers. Crips, bloods, Surenos, MS13, 1%er bikers. They all fund their lifestyles they their careers in engineering and computer programming.
STFU the point is selling drugs is in fact a non-violent crime. You sound just as dumb as the other trumptards.

Idiot, and get off our Hip Hop site while your at it. Hold this L..Lol
Selling pharmaceuticals and illegal drugs are the same thing? Someone actually said that? I have a pneumonia. I need antibiotics. That’s the same as buying a KILO of HEROIN?
Amir aka Loon will have to hold this L. Don’t get in the game if you can’t handle what comes with it.. Serving that poison has consequences..
Hold UP… Snoop, you talked all that crap about Donald Trump, now you want him to do something you support??? Nah, not happening, u were better off letting Kim or someone with more sense to try to get him out of jail.. Your request is going in the trash.
Snoop supports Bad Boy…Tupac would be turning in his grave
Yes, and PAC would probably still be alive if he did too.
Nonsense…B.I.G was on Bad Boy and he dead.
Wow. We have idiots on here saying a KILO or over of HEROIN is a non-violent crime and dude should be let off? LOL. If it was pounds of weed, I get it. The good shit (weed) is grown domestically by hippies or rednecks on the whole. 99.9% of heroin that enters the U.S., does so by crossing the borders of Mexico, and is done so on the behalf of Mexican drug cartels. If you are unaware of how they do business, you are not qualified to speak on anything related to heroin’s affects on society. Period. This guy obviously made an introduction between someone who could provide MULTIPLE kilos of heroin, to someone who could SELL multiple kilos of heroin here in the US. If you think people on that level are hippies in an apartment, or some kombucha breath hipster, you need to go fuck yourself. Quickly. BTW, I actually like Loon’s
Because Blaques are like retards who we have to lower expectations for and they don’t mind as long as they can wear girl pants and Bojangle shoes
Your Mom is a retard bitch boy.
Snoop weird for the switch up… First it’s all fuck yous now it’s looking a for help from that same hand
