Donald Trump issued pardons or commutations to 143 people on Tuesday (January 19), the last full day of his presidency. Among them was Lil Wayne, Kodak Black and Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris.

“All he had to do was stand with a man and give him an endorsement? Shit, let’s keep it real. All you n-ggas is out there laying with a broad that you know just sucked another n-gga dick. The fuck out of here! Weezy F. Baby for President! Trump straight gangsta for that.”
