Larry Hoover Jr. Thanks Ye for Helping His Father Get Life Sentence Commuted by Donald Trump

Larry Hoover Jr. thanked Kanye West for his help getting his dad Larry Hoover's sentence commuted by Donald Trump.

Yeezy — who has been facing backlash for his hate speech — brought Larry Hoover’s situation to the White House during a visit to Trump in the Oval Office in 2018. Larry Hoover Jr. also made an appearance on Ye’s Donda album, and the former Chicago gang leader was spotlighted on West tracks such as “Jesus Lord” and Vultures 2 ‘s “River.” In addition to commuting Larry Hoover’s sentence, Trump has granted a series of pardons this week, including to YoungBoy Never Broke Again and reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley.
