😳 Plies Finally Responds After Claims Boosie Was Scammed Out of $600K for a Trump Pardon…

Rapper Boosie Badazz has filed a federal lawsuit against two self-described political operatives who he claims scammed him out of $600,000 by promising a presidential pardon from Donald Trump that never materialized, according to court documents obtained by TMZ and confirmed by multiple sources.

The Louisiana-born hip-hop star, real name Torrence Hatch Jr., alleges that Jacob Wall and Jack Burkman approached him with claims of having direct access to Trump’s inner circle and the ability to secure a full pardon for his 2009 𝒹𝓇𝓊𝑔 conviction and other legal entanglements. Boosie, who has long sought a pardon from the former president, paid the six-figure sum in hopes of wiping his record clean and restoring his gun rights.

But the promised pardon never came, and now Boosie is fighting to recover at least half of the money under a clause in the contract that required a refund if no pardon was delivered. The operatives, however, are refusing to pay, arguing that no such refund agreement existed and that their firm is effectively bankrupt after millions in fines tied to past legal troubles.

The situation escalated when Burkman gave a defiant statement to TMZ, claiming the rapper has no reason to be unhappy. “In 30 years of lobbying, I doubt we’ve ever done more work and harder work,” Burkman said. “The provision in the contract he’s referencing was never agreed to at all.”

Boosie fired back publicly, accusing the duo of lying and playing with the wrong person. “Jack, shut your lying ass up,” he wrote on social media. “Talking about this stuff in Houston messed up the pardon. You was sued back in March and this happened at the end of May. Don’t start lying now. I gave you three months to send my money back. Talking about Trump signed the pardon. Got me running around the damn house jumping saying you just talked to the president. You play with the wrong one. I’m suing y’all in federal court now.”

Now, fellow rapper Plies has weighed in on the 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝓃𝒹𝒶𝓁, offering a sharp critique on social media. In a series of posts, Plies said, “Yo, he’s been charging them boys for pardons and had y’all thinking he was just showing love.”

Plies, who has been a vocal critic of Trump, did not hold back in his assessment of Boosie’s situation, suggesting that the rapper’s eagerness for a pardon made him an easy target. “It’s a nasty game,” Plies said in a video commentary. “They got him for his money. There’s not too many people out there that can say they ran off with Boosie’s money and actually live to tell the tale. But these guys thought they could play with him.”

According to the contract details shared in court filings, Boosie hired Jacob Wall and Jack Burkman, two political operatives with a history of legal and ethical issues. The duo reportedly pitched themselves as having major pull inside Trump’s orbit, but a White House official flatly denied any connection. In a statement to TMZ, the official said the clemency team “does not know these guys. They’ve never heard of them.” The official also warned that their involvement would actually hurt someone’s chances of getting a pardon.

The timeline of events adds another layer of confusion. On New Year’s Day, Boosie’s lawyer received a call claiming that Trump had already signed the pardon and that the White House simply hadn’t announced it yet. But the pardon never surfaced, and Boosie soon learned he had been scammed.

Adding to the complexity, Boosie’s quest for a pardon was complicated by an arrest for an alleged crime of violence in Texas earlier this year. In his statement, Burkman tried to use that arrest as an excuse, saying, “The other factor is that Boosie’s quest for a pardon was made much tougher by an arrest for an alleged crime of violence in Texas early this year. We tried very, very hard.”

But Boosie rejected that defense, pointing out that the lawsuit against the duo was filed in March, before the Texas incident. “Don’t start lying now,” he retorted.

The rapper is now seeking to recover $300,000 under the contract’s refund clause, but the operatives claim the firm is broke. According to reports, Burkman’s firm has been hit with millions in fines related to past legal troubles, including a case involving robocalls targeting Black voters. Boosie’s lawyer has indicated that the rapper is prepared to pursue the case aggressively, even if it means spending more money on legal fees.

“This might be the most funny part of this entire situation,” Plies said in his commentary. “Not only does the White House not know these guys, but if you actually decide to go with these guys to try to get a pardon, it’s going to lessen your chance even more. How the heck did Boosie end up in this situation?”

Boosie has been openly desperate for a pardon, repeatedly asking Trump for clemency in interviews and on social media. In one 𝓿𝒾𝓇𝒶𝓁 clip, he said, “I’m still trying to get a pardon. I ain’t giving up. I’m still trying to get my hope. I had a meeting with Miss Alice over the pardon board. I had a meeting at the White House with them. So, I spoke my case to them. Let them know I feel like the system been letting me down. They heard my case. So, Trump got him to hear my case. Opportunity and chance. It ain’t over with. But I would much rather a pardon, man. I want to be a free man. I want to have my gun rights again. Protect my family.”

That eagerness, Plies argued, made Boosie vulnerable. “You got to do your research on these companies,” Plies warned. “Anybody selling you a dream that sounds a little bit too good to be true? Chances are it might be.”

The case has drawn widespread attention in the hip-hop community, with many fans and fellow artists expressing sympathy for Boosie while also questioning his judgment. Some have noted that Boosie has been a vocal supporter of Trump and has publicly begged for a pardon, which may have made him a prime target for scammers.

Legal experts say the lawsuit faces an uphill battle, especially if the operatives can prove the contract lacked a clear refund clause. However, Boosie’s legal team is confident, arguing that the fraud was blatant and that the defendants’ history of legal troubles should have been red flags.

“If this was in the streets, Boosie would have absolutely gotten his bread back,” Plies said. “But you can’t play like that with certain people.”

The case is now pending in federal court, and both sides are expected to file additional motions in the coming weeks. For Boosie, the fight is about more than money. It’s about pride and sending a message that scammers can’t hide behind legal jargon when they target celebrities.

Plies, who has been vocal about the dangers of political grift, ended his commentary with a warning to the public: “You guys be careful out there. Please, please, please do your research on these companies. Anybody selling you a dream that sounds a little bit too good to be true? Chances are it might be.”

As the legal battle unfolds, one thing is clear: Boosie’s pursuit of a pardon has taken a costly and embarrassing turn, and the fallout is far from over.
