White House Addresses Boosie Badazz's Unsuccessful Pardon Request

Boosie Badazz has been going viral this week after trying to pay a lobbyist group to secure a pardon from President Donald Trump. He paid Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman $600K, and now, he is seeking a $300K refund as the duo has yet to show him any results.

Unfortunately, Boosie didn't do his Googles prior to hiring the two men. Had he done so, he would have seen that the two men are convicted fraudsters. Probably not the people you want to be putting your criminal record in the hands of.

Today, Loren Lorosa of The Breakfast Club revealed that the White House made a statement to her about the situation. It was here that they made it crystal clear that you cannot simply pay lobbyist groups and expect pardons. President Donald Trump is even saying that he is disturbed that people would try to profit from such an enterprise.

"A White House official ..made it clear in a statement to me that they DO NOT support the work of Wohl or Burkman (the men boosie sued) and allege that anyone seeking clemency that involve these men will actively harm their chances," Lorosa wrote.

Boosie Badazz Gets Response From The White House

Interestingly enough, the White House did say that they received Boosie's documentation. However, that doesn't necessarily mean anything one way or the other. Overall, the clemency team at the White House still has to assess the case and make a decision.

While Boosie Badazz still has a chance of receiving a pardon, paying to make it happen faster was the ultimate mistake. Now, he remains in a fight with Burkman and Wohl for the aforementioned $300K.

This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for updates.

Iron Maiden Sells Music Rights to Support Future Growth

Iron Maiden have sold a 50 percent share of the band's publishing and master recording rights, along with rights to their name, image, and likeness.

The legendary heavy metal group has reached an agreement with Pophouse Entertainment, the investment company co founded by ABBA's Bjorn Ulvaeus. Through the new partnership, the company plans to help expand the band's future projects and "turbo charge" its long term ambitions.

Jessica Koravos, CEO of Pophouse, which also owns music rights connected to Tina Turner, KISS, and Cyndi Lauper, told Billboard: "We are 50-50 partners with the band, and the plan is that we’re going to work together turbo charging Maiden’s plans for the future."

The deal also includes a share of the rights to Iron Maiden's famous mascot, Eddie.

Jessica added: "With Pophouse, we’re always thinking around the visual identity and ... there’s lots of world building that’s possible both in [Maiden’s] artwork, but also in the storytelling within the songs.

"The heavy metal genre, especially with the addition of Eddie, lends itself to a treatment potentially in the world of horror."

Among the projects already being developed through the partnership are a film inspired by Iron Maiden's Run For Your Lives World Tour and a digital universe built around the character of Eddie.

Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood said in a statement: "I am very excited about our relationship with Pophouse and the ability we now have to pursue, facilitate, and finance our many plans and dreams quicker than we ever hoped.

"The interest in the band has never been bigger and [with] this strategic partnership ... the fans can be assured there is a great deal more to come for Maiden, and Eddie will rule, OK!!"

Jessica also has a personal connection to the band through her husband, Stuart Galbraith, the CEO of KMJ Entertainment Group, who promoted Iron Maiden's recent Eddfest concerts in Knebworth, Hertfordshire, in southeast England.

She added: "One of the attractions of this catalogue is the incredible fandom that surrounds them, and they’ve done the most incredible job over the years of giving those fans amazing shows every single time.

"I have a deep understanding of the Maiden fan, and I think the band would say they’ve brought us on board to turbo charge them, [not] to help them hang up their boots."
