White House Responds to Boosie Badazz Trump Pardon Dispute
The White House has issued a blunt warning about the political operatives connected to Boosie Badazz’s effort to obtain a presidential pardon.
An administration official said Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have no recognized role in the clemency process. The official also warned that working with the pair could weaken an applicant’s case rather than improve it.
The response followed questions from “The Breakfast Club” correspondent Loren LoRosa, who shared details of the administration’s position on social media, according to Hot New Hip Hop.
“A White House official ..made it clear in a statement to me that they DO NOT support the work of Wohl or Burkman (the men boosie sued) and allege that anyone seeking clemency that involve these men will actively harm their chances,” LoRosa wrote.
Lil Wayne’s Assistant Had To Roll Blunts And Smell Nice
If you ever wondered what it takes to work for Lil Wayne, the answer apparently goes well beyond scheduling meetings and booking flights.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, former assistant Andrew Williams‘ job duties included keeping pre-rolls ready at all times, restocking Wayne’s preferred wraps before they ran out, waking the rapper on schedule, packing for trips, handling small purchases and traveling with him.
The documents, filed as part of Williams’ ongoing lawsuit against Wayne, also say assistants had to remain on call 24/7, sign a nondisclosure agreement and stay discreet about personal matters.
Then came the requirements that had social media doing a double take. The assistant reportedly had to love dogs, be comfortable around children, maintain a positive attitude, be mentally sound, physically strong enough to carry bags and possess “pleasant personal hygiene.” Apparently, even celebrity assistants aren’t exempt from HR standards.
Williams is suing Wayne over allegations that the rapper assaulted him aboard a private jet in 2022 after Williams allegedly tried to intervene in a dispute involving Wayne and the pilot. Wayne has denied the allegations, arguing any actions he took were in self-defense.
Gayle King Anchors ‘CBS Mornings’ on Zero Sleep After Jay-Z’s Yankee Stadium Finale
*Gayle King proved her stamina matches her dedication. The broadcaster went straight from Jay-Z’s marathon Yankee Stadium finale to the anchor desk without a wink of sleep. By 7 a.m. Monday, she was live on “CBS Mornings,” and she kept working at Oprah Daily long after the cameras stopped.
“She had no nap or sleep,” a source told PEOPLE. King, 71, expressed zero regrets about the whirlwind. “It was an epic night,” she told the outlet.
The Sunday, July 12 show marked the last of three sold-out nights at the stadium, with attendance topping 40,000. The concert hit a major snag before it began. Ticketless crowds stormed several entrances, and the gates stayed locked until police brought the situation under control. Jay-Z did not perform until after midnight.
The rapper addressed the crowd with an apology. “There was like 10,000 people outside,” he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “I don’t want to start the music and people get trampled. So I’m really sorry for the inconvenience, but I had to make sure everybody was OK.”
King rolled video from inside the stadium on Monday’s broadcast. “Very few people left early,” she said.
Jay-Z ran through nearly 50 songs across almost three hours. Beyoncé joined him for “Drunk in Love,” and Rihanna delivered “Run This Town” and “Bitch Better Have My Money.” Usher, Pharrell Williams, Teyana Taylor and others also hit the stage.
King confessed on air that she got home at 2:17 a.m.
