Lil Wayne is among the recipients of a slew of pardons being issued by President Trump just hours before the commander in chief leaves office. The "6 Foot 7 Foot" rapper had faced up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to a federal firearm charge last year. The entertainer, born Dwayne Carter, Jr., was charged in 2019 with illegally carrying a loaded handgun while traveling from California to Florida. Trump's pardon comes after he met with Lil Wayne last year. >"Lil Wayne is among the recipients of a slew of pardons being issued by President Trump just hours before the commander in chief leaves office." >"Lil Wayne is among the recipients of a slew of pardons being issued by President Trump just hours before the commander in chief leaves office." >"Lil Wayne is among the recipients of a slew of pardons being issued by President Trump just hours before the commander in chief leaves office."
