Boosie BadAzz is staring down a fast-approaching court date in his federal gun case, but the Baton Rouge firecracker isn’t sweating because he says that President Donald Trump will pardon him.
The 41-year-old rapper was out and about in Harlem on Wednesday when TMZ cameras caught up with him, and he admitted he’s still clinging to the possibility that Trump might step in and wipe the slate clean.
“I’m still working on it,” he told the outlet. “I’m still trying… I’m still gonna be asking the president for a pardon. Right now, I don’t have it. But I’m confident about my situation.”
Boosie’s legal troubles stem from a federal firearm charge he pleaded guilty to in August.
“I just want this behind me,” he said after entering his plea. “This case has kept me from doing a lot, especially traveling the world. I’m ready to move forward.”

He’s been pushing for presidential help ever since Trump returned to office last November. On X (formerly Twitter), Boosie publicly pleaded for mercy, insisting his situation mirrors a case that was ruled unconstitutional:
If Trump does intervene, Boosie would join a growing list of rappers who’ve received clemency from him, including NBA YoungBoy earlier this year, plus Lil Wayne and Kodak Black during Trump’s last administration.
His fate will officially be decided when he’s sentenced on November 21.
