Larry Hoover Jr. is expressing his gratitude towards Kanye West for playing a significant role in his father’s commuted sentence. Larry Jr. credits Kanye and Alice Marie Johnson for their instrumental efforts in securing the release of his father, Larry Hoover, the founder of the Gangster Disciples, through President Trump’s commutation of his prison sentence.
Kanye West and Drake famously came together in 2021 to advocate for Larry Sr. and reconcile their differences in a livestreamed event known as the “Free Larry Hoover” fundraising benefit concert. This event garnered widespread attention and support for Larry Hoover’s release.
Alice Marie Johnson, who now serves as Trump’s “pardon Czar,” also played a pivotal role in advocating for Larry Hoover’s release. With assistance from Kim Kardashian, Alice had her own prison sentence commuted and later pardoned during Trump’s first term.
Despite the positive developments, Larry Jr. acknowledges that his father still faces challenges upon his release. At 74 years old, Larry Hoover has an Illinois state penalty that remains unresolved, as Trump does not have the authority to pardon state crimes. Therefore, Larry Hoover’s immediate future post-release remains uncertain.
Larry Jr. remains hopeful and determined to continue the fight for his father’s freedom from state custody. He has messages for both President Trump and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker as the family perseveres in their efforts to secure Larry Hoover’s full freedom.
The journey towards Larry Hoover’s release has been a collaborative effort involving key figures like Kanye West, Alice Marie Johnson, and Kim Kardashian. As the fight for justice continues, Larry Jr. remains steadfast in his commitment to reuniting his family and ensuring his father’s well-deserved freedom.
