Lil Wayne Is Pardoned By Donald Trump

Rapper Lil Wayne was pardoned by Donald Trump last night, dodging prison for a firearms conviction after voicing support for the president during the election campaign. 

The artist, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr, could have faced 10 years in prison for illegally owning a .45-caliber handgun - which he was banned from possessing because of a weapons conviction in New York more than a decade ago.
