Pras Michel’s Potential Presidential Pardon Considered by Donald Trump

Fugees Member Faces 22-Year Sentence for Corruption Charges, but Trump Might Intervene

Pras Michel, the legendary member of the Fugees, could soon receive a presidential pardon from Donald Trump after being convicted of corruption charges related to a multi-billion-dollar fraud scheme. The rapper is facing up to 22 years in prison for his involvement in the conspiracy, which reportedly included foreign powers, bankers, and even actor Leonardo DiCaprio. While Trump has not publicly commented on the case, Pras’ publicist confirmed that the rapper’s legal team is exploring all options, remaining optimistic about a potential resolution.

The relationship between Pras and Trump goes back nearly 30 years. Trump, before his presidency, appeared on Pras’ debut album Ghetto Supastar, leaving a voicemail message encouraging Pras’ success. This long-standing connection could play a role in the rapper’s hope for a pardon.

Pras was convicted of failing to register as an agent of China, among other charges, and faces additional financial penalties from the U.S. government, including a $65 million judgment linked to his alleged involvement in illegal schemes. Meanwhile, Pras has distanced himself from the Fugees, suing bandmate Lauryn Hill over their failed reunion tour and being unable to join a European tour due to his ongoing legal issues.

Glasses Malone Teases Kendrick Lamar Response to Joey Bada$$ Disses

Compton rapper reportedly gearing up after repeated shots from New York MC

Kendrick Lamar may finally be preparing to address Joey Bada$$, according to West Coast veteran Glasses Malone. After a string of pointed diss tracks from the Brooklyn rapper, Malone hinted that bars from Kendrick are on the way—though when remains the big question.

“Joey know sure as shit bars are coming his way,” Malone said, reacting to Bada$$’s latest diss, “Crash Dummy,” in which the Pro Era leader accuses Lamar of ducking the smoke: “Thank you for making it clear that Dot scared… I was at the party, but I also saw Top there.”

This isn’t Joey’s first attempt to bait the Pulitzer Prize-winner. On “My Town,” he declared himself the “real boogeyman” and took sharp lyrical aim, while “The Finals” doubled down, calling out both Kendrick and TDE affiliates like Daylyt and Rey Vaughn.

Despite the ongoing lyrical war, Kendrick has yet to respond publicly. Instead, Joey has been trading shots primarily with Kendrick’s camp, but his repeated taunts have raised speculation that a response from the Compton icon is inevitable.

Whether Kendrick breaks his silence or not, the tension between coasts is clearly heating up again—with fans watching closely.

Joey Bada$$ Fires Fresh Shots at Kendrick Lamar on New Track

Brooklyn rapper escalates lyrical feud with bars aimed at the Compton icon

Joey Bada$$ has stirred the pot once again, directing fresh jabs at Kendrick Lamar in his latest release, “My Town.” Although the primary target appears to be Top Dawg Entertainment’s Rey Vaughn, the Brooklyn MC couldn’t resist sending a few pointed lines toward Lamar.

In the track, Joey proclaims, “I’m the real boogeyman, y’all n-ggas should be afraid / Get the general, I’m killing his troops,” suggesting a challenge to Kendrick’s leadership in the rap game. He follows up with a sharp wordplay: “Don’t make me Pulitzer, better be wise because / I’m dottin T’s and cross your eyes like Whitaker.”

This isn’t the first time Joey has looked west. On a recent diss titled The Finals, he acknowledged Kendrick directly: “I salute you Kenny but I know you well aware / You lookin’ for some competition? Then just know that I’ll be right here.”

The ongoing tension traces back to Joey’s The Ruler’s Back earlier this year, which took aim at West Coast rap as a whole. So far, Kendrick has yet to respond publicly, but fans are closely watching to see if the Compton lyricist will enter the fray.
