The Feds Mad At Kanye & Drake Over Larry Hoover Benefit Concert

The feds are pissed the music icons are pushing to release a guy the government considers the "worst of the worst. One federal law enforcement who is connected to Hoover's case prosecutors are "surprised" to see Drizzy and Ye throwing support in behind the #FreeLarryHoover movement, considering the facts of his case. Hoover was convicted and sentenced for an Illinois murder in 1973. He wasn't the triggerman, but prosecutors said he directed the shooting of a man he accused of stealing from his gang. Hoover is credited with founding Chicago's infamous Gangster Disciples. While he was serving 150-200 years for the murder, the feds stepped in to indict and convict Hoover for drug conspiracy, extortion and engaging in organized crime. In 1997, he started serving 6 life sentences in a federal Supermax prison. The feds think that's exactly where he belongs but Hoover's backers believe the U.S. government outrageously over-sentenced him considering his federal crimes were related to drug distribution, and not murders. he feds acknowledge there are lots of low-level drug dealers who got draconian prison terms in the '80s and '90s -- think Alice Marie Johnson who are worthy of this kind of celeb backing. Remember, Kanye even asked then President Trump to pardon Hoover back in 2018. That's just fine with the feds, who tell us Drake, Ye and others would be better served helping scores of other inmates besides Hoover.
