Boosie Badazz claims he paid $600,000 for a presidential pardon from Donald Trump but never received it.

Now he wants his money back.

The rapper, whose real name is Torence Hatch, is suing political operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, according to a NOTUS report.

He says the pair promised they had influence inside Trump's orbit and acted as if they had the president "on speed dial."

The Alleged Deal

Boosie struck a deal with Wohl and Burkman last fall. The contract allegedly included a clause requiring a $300,000 refund if no pardon was delivered.

On New Year's Day, Boosie's lawyer received a call claiming Trump had already signed the pardon but the White House hadn't announced it.

The pardon never surfaced.

Wohl and Burkman allegedly refused to refund the money, arguing no such agreement existed.

They later claimed their firm was broke after millions in fines from past legal troubles.

Burkman told TMZ: "Boosie has no reason to be unhappy. In 30 years of lobbying, I doubt we have ever done more work and harder work."

He also said Boosie's arrest in Texas this year made the pardon quest harder.

White House Denial

A White House official flatly denied the duo had any role in the pardon process.

The clemency team had "never heard from" Wohl or Burkman, and their involvement would actually hurt someone's chances.

Boosie did not receive clemency, though he later got a sentence of time served on his federal gun case.

He remains hopeful a separate pardon application filed directly with the White House will succeed.
