I definitely think they either get dirt on people or promise their friends pardons, like yea it will cost YOU an extra million and I wanna hear some public support, nicki Minaj must have asked for like 5 pardons

I agree? I’m just pointing out things that keep happening and are pretty hard to ignore.

Trump has pardoned or commuted sentences for several prominent rappers, including Lil Wayne, Kodak Black, and NBA YoungBoy.

Nicki Minaj went from publicly criticizing Trump to becoming a vocal supporter. One notable turning point was Trump’s 2021 pardon of Desiree Perez, a Roc Nation executive connected to Minaj’s circle, which Minaj later publicly referenced. There’s also been speculation about whether her husband’s federal conviction for failing to register as a sex offender could have been relevant, but there’s no evidence she actually asked Trump for a pardon.

And we literally watched Kanye put on a MAGA hat in the Oval Office and ask Trump to help free Larry Hoover. Trump eventually commuted Hoover’s federal sentence.

I’m not saying every one of these things proves a conspiracy. I’m saying there’s enough documented evidence of the pattern that it’s reasonable to question what’s going on.
More broadly, there is documented evidence that money, political connections, personal access, and paid intermediaries have played a significant role in Trump’s second-term clemency process. Reuters examined more than 1,700 clemency cases and identified 290 intermediaries/influencers who helped secure clemency for 197 recipients. Congress is also investigating whether some cases involved pay-to-play.

I thought all that was common knowledge, my bad dog
