Back in January 2021, former president Donald Trump famously commuted a three-year federal prison sentence the rapper had for falsifying documents used to buy weapons after Kodak served nearly half his sentence.

"He has committed to supporting a variety of charitable efforts, such as providing educational resources to students and families of fallen law enforcement officers and the underprivileged," a statement from the press secretary read. "In addition to these efforts, he has paid for the notebooks of school children, provided funding and supplies to daycare centers, provided food for the hungry, and annually provides for underprivileged children during Christmas."

Trump had also granted a pardon to rapper Lil Wayne at the time.
