Lamar Jackson Helped in Kodak Black’s Sentence Commuted By President Trump

Lamar Jackson’s tweets can be very powerful. Kodak Black isn’t such a bad guy,  as prior to his conviction, he was involved in a bunch of philanthropic efforts. He helped feed the hungry, and gave families in need Christmas presents. While in prison, he also donated $50,000 to the Barstool Fund to help small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was among the group of people who asked Trump to commute Black’s sentence.

“Hey [Donald Trump] my friend [Kodak Black] deserves to be commuted. The system punished him way to (sic) hard for a paperwork crime,” Jackson tweeted on Jan. 5

Asked earlier this month why he wanted a presidential pardon for Kodak Black, Lamar Jackson said: “That’s my ‘dog.’ That’s my ‘homeboy,’ so I’m behind him 100%, 1,000%. That’s what it was – nothing more to it.”

Lamar can’t get anymore W’s as he’s been eliminated from the Playoffs,  but this is a nice little win for both Lamar and Kodak Black.

He used his clout and got his homie out of a bad situation.
