Popular American rapper, Lil Wayne has thanked former US President, Donald Trump for being counted worthy to be pardoned.
Njenje Media News had reported that the former President had in his final hours as US President granted the rapper a full presidential pardon.
It would be recalled that In November, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida revealed that Wayne faced a federal weapons charge relating to a December 2019 incident at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport.
He pleaded guilty in December and was facing up to 10 years in prison.
The White House had released a statement earlier this week and noted the rapper’s commitment to charity as a reason for the pardon.
Lil Wayne took to Twitter to thank Trump, he wrote;
“I want to thank President Trump for recognizing that I have so much more to give to my family, my art, and my community. I also want to thank @bradfordcohen for working so diligently to secure another chance for me. Love! – Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.”

Njenje Media News recalls that some days before the 2020 presidential election, Lil Wayne had seemingly endorsed Trump reelection when he tweeted a photo he took with the immediate past US President.
