Boosie BadAzz has the world questioning his motives for appearing on the once-lauded 60 Minutes program to tell his side of his attempt to get a pardon. According to Boosie BadAzz, the show omitted several details during his interview but says he hopes the moment will aid him as he attempts to recoup $600,000 that he paid to lobbyists to secure a pardon.
As we reported, Boosie BadAzz’s time on 60 Minutes has been observed from various angles by many, with some wondering if the appearance would be considered snitching. While Boosie used the moment to tell his side of the story, his latest missive on X appears to highlight that there is more to what we’ve learned in the segment.
From X:
I DID A HOUR INTERVIEW WITH 60 MINUTES ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH MY LAWSUIT BUT ONLY A FEW THINGS GOT PUT OUT.I TALKED ABOUT HOW BEFORE THIS SITUATION HAPPENED THAT I SAT DOWN WITH THE PARDON CZAR AT THE WHITE HOUSE DISCUSSING WHY I FELT I NEEDED A PARDON.I TOLD THEM THAT I FELT MS ALICE WOULD HELP ME BUT THE JUDGE ENDED UP DISMISSING THE CASE A FEW MONTHS LATER SO SHE DIDNT NEED TOO .A MONTH LATER THEY PICKED MY CASE BACK UP N GAVE ME THE SAME CHARGES N ADDED A CHARGE OF ME BEING A ATTACK AROUND A FIREARM. HOW AM I A ATTACK WHEN I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO REHAB. I WAS SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS N STATE PRISON FOR 3RD OFFENSE MARIJAUNA N NEVER OFFERED REHAB. WE HAD PROOF THAT THESE THIEVES SAID THE PRESIDENT SIGNED THE PARDON.I WAS ASKED WHAT I WANTED OUT OF THIS SITUATION N I SAID “ I WANTED THE PRESIDENT TO LOOK AT MY CASE WITH MS ALICE N SEE IF ITS WORTH A PARDONI ALSO SAID I WANTED HIM TO TAKE N CONSIDERATION HOW I WAS DONE WRONG BY THESE PEOPLE WHO LIED ON HIM TO DO !! MY STORY WASNT TOLD FULLY BUT HOPEFULLY THIS INTERVIEW WILL PROVE MY POINT CLEARLY N CIVIL COURT THAT I NEED TO BE COMPENSATED X 10.
The aforementioned lobbyists are Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl of JM Burkman & Associates. While Boosie BadAzz paid the pair $600,000, their agreement, according to Boosie was that the firm would give back $300,000 to the Louisiana artist. The pair responded to the claim, stating they were bankrupt and could not return the funds. That matter appears to be ongoing.
