We’re willing to bet that rapper Lil Boosie appearing on 60 Minutes wasn’t on your 2026 bingo card. The Baton Rouge rapper was on the storied — yet recently compromised — program and needless to say, the social media delegation who is keenly aware of when someone is being exploited was not amused.
And there’s also the snitching allegations.
Boosie’s appearance on the news program is scheduled for Sunday (Sept. 13) evening, but thanks to an early clip making the rounds on social media, the outrage has already started. In the promo, Boosie tells OG journalist Leslie Stahl that he gave a pair of men $600K to facilitate a presidential pardon that never materialized.
Back in July 2026, news broke that the “Wipe Me Down” rapper was suing far-right lobbyists for failing to deliver on the aforementioned pardon. Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman are who Boosie claims he paid $600,000 via their firm, JM Burkman & Associates. Allegedly, they linked with Boosie after an intro from a “Trump insider.”
Obviously, Boosie should have spotted the scam from the moment he heard “Trump,” respectfully.
Wohl & Burkman were introduced to Boosie as Trump insiders who had the president’s ear and would appeal on his behalf in support of gaining a pardon.
While the issue of suspect pardons is problematic, getting Boosie to speak on the topic seems nefarious considering the outlet doing so is CBS. Since the arrival of Barri Weiss to the network, it has started skewing heavily conservative, and has face criticism for it, even from its own employees. So using Boosie to speak on a legit topic reeks of cynicism and the highest of jibs.
Don’t take out word for it. Peep some of the more passionate reactions below.
