Torrence “Boosie” Hatch was arrested in 2008 after having possession of marijuana and a firearm in his car. After pleading guilty to the drug charges, Boosie was sentenced to two years in prison, which led to his late summer 2010 first degree murder charge.
Boosie wants to be the next rapper granted a pardon from the government. This past weekend, Meek Mell received a pardon from the governor of Pennsylvania. Meeek received many kind words from social media and from Boosie, who also took to Twitter to ask Louisiana to free him from his record.

Before the prison time, Boosie was a rising underground artist who was on the verge of having real mainstream success. “Wipe Me Down” was and still is a smash hit for the culture. He talked with the Big Facts Podcast about his upbringings in his early life before he made a name in the rap game.
“I would’ve done it totally different if I could take it back, ’cause I ain’t wanna go to jail, man.”

Robert “Meek Mill” Williams was found guilty of drug and weapons charges in 2008, similar to Boosie. Meek was sentenced up to two years in prison, but he only served eight months and did 10 years of probation. Since then, Meek has been fighting a legal battle with the Philadelphia court system. In 2017, he was arrested and sentenced to four years in state prison for violating probation.
Meek received his aforementioned pardon from Pennsylvania Governor, Tom Wolf on January 12. He posted the signed certificate of him being free from his criminal record. Meek promises to do good things for his community, to help with schools and to help low income students get scholarships for the 2023-2024 calendar school year. He will be partnering with Kevin Hart and Fanatics CEO, Michael Rubin, to help the community in Philadelphia.
