Boosie Badazz Declares ‘I Am a Powerful Black Man’ Amid $600K Pardon Fight
Boosie Badazz says the firm promised a $300,000 refund if no pardon arrived by Jan. 31, 2026, then failed to return his money.
- Boosie Badazz filed a lawsuit against lobby firm JM Burkman & Associates, alleging the company failed to secure a federal pardon for his firearm conviction despite a $600,000 payment.
- Last year, Boosie hired the firm under an agreement guaranteeing a $300,000 refund if Donald Trump did not sign a pardon by January 31, 2026.
- Three days before Christmas, the firm allegedly texted Boosie's lawyer claiming Trump had signed the pardon; he later discovered the claim was false after contacting associates with no firm affiliation.
- After the firm missed the January deadline, Boosie initiated legal action, though he alleges the company threatened to file for bankruptcy rather than return his $300,000.
- The firm's founders, Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl, were convicted of running robocall scams to suppress Black voters in the 2020 election, prompting Boosie to warn artists against similar deals.
