AMERICAN FEDS SHOCKED AND UPSET WITH KANYE WEST AND DRAKE’S SUPPORT FOR LARRY HOOVER WHO IS CURRENTLY DOING SOME TIME

Kanye West and Drake's recent 'Bro-mance' or the so called 'reunion' to support imprisoned O.G. Larry Hoover reportedly has the Feds not so happy and upset.

Ye and Drizzy headlined a huge Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert on Thursday (Dec. 9) at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The almost sold-out show came together as a means to help raise awareness for Hoover,  who is currently serving six life sentences after being convicted of murder and running a criminal ring in 1997. According to a TMZ article published on Saturday (Dec. 11), the Feds are "surprised" and upset by the move of the two hip hop megastars to show support to a convicted felon who they say is "the worst of the worst."

Hoover is credited as the cofounder of the Gangster Disciples street gang in Chicago in the early 1970s. He was convicted of murder in 1973, despite not being named as the person who pulled the trigger. While serving a life sentence, he was accused of continuing to operate the gang from inside prison. He  was found guilty of drug conspiracy, extortion and continuing to engage in a criminal enterprise in 1997, and sentenced to additional multiple life sentences. He is currently being incarcerated for six life sentences in a supermax jail. Hoover is now on a seemingly right track tho and works to promote peace among the gangs around Chicago. Over the summer, a federal judge denied Hoover a sentencing break.

Kanye has been on the free Larry Hoover train for a couple of years now. Back in 2018, when MAGA-hat wearing Kanye visited the White House, he asked then USA president Donald Trump to grant Hoover a presidential pardon same as he did to the likes of Kodak Black and others, to no avail. Like-minded Rap-a-Lot CEO J Prince was able to connect some dots with Kanye and the Hoover family earlier this year. They invited Drake along to help with the mission, with Drizzy obliging in October. With Drake and Ye working together on a common cause, they ended their lengthy beef, culminating with the massive concert which left fans of both rap superstars and hip hop critics talking.
