Rapper Plies has unleashed a blistering response against fellow artist Boosie Badazz, publicly mocking him after reports surfaced that Boosie was allegedly scammed out of $600,000 in a fraudulent presidential pardon scheme, with Plies accusing the Louisiana rapper of falling for a con and trying to save face by distorting the facts.

The š¹šš¶šš¶ erupted late Tuesday after multiple news outlets confirmed that Boosie had filed a lawsuit against two individuals, Jack Burkeman and Jacob Wohl, claiming they took hundreds of thousands of dollars from him under the pretense of securing a pardon from former President Donald Trump. Boosie, who has been vocal about his desire for a federal pardon for past legal issues, reportedly wired funds to the duo, who have a history of legal troubles and fraudulent activities.
Plies, known for his outspoken social media presence, did not hold back. In a series of comments that quickly went šæš¾šš¶š, he accused Boosie of being naive and suggested that the rapper had been secretly paying for pardon efforts all along, only to get š®šš¹šøš¼š®š. “He been charging them boys for pardons and had yāall thinking he was just showing love,” Plies said, according to video commentary from Urban Politicians TV.
“He got yāall fooled.”
The confrontation intensified as Plies referenced a previous exchange between Boosie and political commentator Laura Loomer, who had stated that pardons cannot be bought. Plies fired back, “She thinks who she fooling? You canāt buy a pardon?
Accuse your opponents of the exact things youāre doing so you donāt look worse than them. Itās the playbook of the White House.”
Observers note that Plies has positioned himself as a vocal supporter of the Democratic Party, often promoting left-leaning candidates and policies. While he holds no formal political office, his advocacy has drawn scrutiny, with critics accusing him of receiving incentives or benefits for his allegiance. “When you have that much advocacy for the Democrats, anybody from afar is going to say, āYouāve been incentivized, youāve been contacted, youāre getting something out of that situation,ā” the video commentary stated.

Boosieās legal troubles began when he sought a presidential pardon from Trump, a move that many saw as a reversal of his earlier criticism of Trump-supporting rappers like Lil Wayne and Kodak Black. In a now-deleted social media post, Boosie admitted he was willing to endorse Trump or even President Joe Biden if it meant securing a pardon. “This is the way the game works,” the commentator said.
“If you could get out of prison, use the resources and reach you have with your connections, relationships, and finances to get something that can benefit you.”
The so-called “pardon scam” involved Burkeman and Wohl, who have been previously convicted or sued for running fraudulent political operations, including a robocall scheme that targeted voters in Detroit and other cities. A federal court in New York ordered the pair to make restitution calls to victims, informing them that the messages they received regarding mail-in voting were illegal and contained false information. “Two men at the center of a voting robocall scam in Detroit and other cities have been ordered to call back their victims,” court records show.
“US District Court in New York ordered Jack Burkeman and Jacob Wohl to make the follow-up calls by 5:00 p. m. tomorrow.”
Despite Boosieās claim that he paid for lobbying servicesāwhich is technically legal under federal law as a contract for advocacyācritics point out that his own language suggests bribery. “If you direct them to pay for the pardon itself, thatās illegal,” legal experts explain. “Boosieās phrasing, āI paid for the pardon,ā could be interpreted as an attempt to bribe the White House.”
However, the White House has denied any contact with Boosie or the alleged intermediaries.

Plies further mocked Boosieās failure to vet the individuals he dealt with. “You could have easily looked up and seen, āHey, these aināt the dudes that Iām going to put my trust in,ā” Plies said, referencing Burkeman and Wohlās criminal records. “He got finessed.
He got a play ran on him.”
The rift between the two rappers highlights a broader debate about the intersection of politics, celebrity, and the criminal justice system. Boosie, who is currently on probation, has long been a polarizing figure, often criticizing others for cooperating with authorities while now seeking official clemency through controversial means. “He moved the goal posts for other people in the past,” the video commentary noted.
“But now heās the one in the hot seat.”
Insiders say Boosie had a direct connection to the White House through Angela Staten King, the goddaughter of a Martin Luther King Jr. niece, who had worked with officials. “Why didnāt he wait it out?”
one commentator wondered. “She called him out herself: āBro, you wouldnāt put the money in these dudesā hands.ā And Boosie ended up getting probation anyways.”
Boosieās lawsuit seeks to recover $300,000 of the $600,000 paid, but the contract allegedly includes a nonrefundable clause. “Boosie got that play ran on him like The Wire,” Plies said, invoking the HBO series. “I wouldnāt want that to happen to nobody, but they see them coming from a mile away.”
As the story continues to unfold, the hip-hop community remains divided. Some support Boosieās pursuit of a pardon, while others echo Pliesā sentiment that the rapper brought the situation upon himself through poor judgment and hypocrisy. “Boosie advocated so hard online for this over the years,” the video concluded.
“Itās going to turn into that. At the end of the day, Boosie got a play ran on him.”
The White House has not commented further, and Boosie has yet to respond publicly to Pliesā remarks. Legal experts advise that no criminal charges are expected against Boosie unless it can be proven he intended to bribe officials directly, which seems unlikely given the contractual nature of the transaction.
Meanwhile, Plies continues to fan the flames, insisting that Boosieās predicament is a lesson in street politics and show business. “Man, yāall some ignorant motherf—ers,” Plies said in a rant. “This aināt no gangster sh-t.
This is a contract. If you donāt abide by the contract, you get sued. Thatās business.”
