Rapper Lil Wayne took to his Twitter handle to thank former US President Donald Trump for granting him presidential pardon, IgbereTV reports.

Donald Trump granted rapper Lil Wayne a full presidential pardon in his final hours as the US president.

In November, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida revealed that Wayne faced a federal weapons charge relating to a December 2019 incident at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport.

He pleaded guilty in December and was facing up to 10 years in prison.

However, earlier this week, a statement about Wayne’s pardon was released by the White House and noted the rapper’s commitment to charity as a reason for the pardon.

Taking to Twitter today, Lil Wayne thanked Trump. Lil Wayne wrote;

"I want to thank President Trump for recognizing that I have so much more to give to my family, my art, and my community. I also want to thank @bradfordcohen for working so diligently to secure another chance for me. Love!

- Dwayne Michael Carter Jr."

Days before the 2020 presidential election, Lil Wayne tweeted a photo he took with Trump and seemed to endorse Trump.

We have too many people easily brainwashed in this present age. They can hardly think for themselves. They flow with the tide.

Why won't CNN deceive them with the racist crap.

I saw one madam blaming Trump for something Obama did on another thread. I just Smh.

What kind of hair is that?

God bless Donald Trump

Lol... Trump adds a few black names to his presidential pardon list on his last day in office; oh! Look at that, he's not a racist!

Dude, he may or may not be a racist but this does not prove anything. Even a racist would still add prominent black names to the list. That's just the smart thing to do. He spent four years as the president, that's just enough time to draw your conclusions regarding his disposition towards the subject of racial dichotomy and inclusiveness.

Trump is a real Nigga, the reason why we de call am racist is because he doesn't give us visa.

No wonder why this lil punk supported Mr Trump

Ok
