TMZ - Boosie Badazz says he paid big money for a presidential pardon ... but now he's claiming all he got was a massive bill and an empty promise ... and he wants a big refund.
According to a bombshell NOTUS report, the rapper is taking legal action against political operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman after allegedly shelling out $600,000 to help secure a pardon from President Trump -- one Boosie says never came.
The report says Boosie -- whose legal name is Torence Hatch -- struck a deal with the pair last fall after they pitched themselves as having major pull inside Trump's orbit. Boosie claims they were so confident, they acted like they had POTUS "on speed dial."
Things allegedly escalated on New Year's Day ... when Boosie's lawyer got a call claiming Trump had already signed the pardon and the White House just hadn't announced it yet. But according to the report, the pardon never surfaced ... and Boosie is now trying to recover $300,000 under a clause in the contract requiring half the fee be refunded if no pardon was delivered.
Burkman and Wohl allegedly refused to pay ... arguing no refund agreement existed and later claiming their firm was effectively broke after millions in fines tied to past legal troubles.
Burkman tells TMZ ... "Boosie has no reason to be unhappy. In 30 years of lobbying, I doubt we have ever done more work and harder work. The provision in the contract he is referencing was never agreed to at all. The other factor is that Boosie's quest for a pardon was made much tougher by an arrest for an alleged crime of violence in Texas earlier this year. We tried very, very hard."
The report also says a White House official flatly denied the duo had any role in the pardon process ... saying the clemency team had "never heard from" Wohl or Burkman and warning their involvement would actually hurt someone's chances of getting a pardon.
Boosie ultimately didn't receive clemency, though he later received a sentence of time served on his federal gun case and remains hopeful a separate pardon application filed directly with the White House will eventually succeed.
For now, Boosie's biggest legal battle isn't a pardon

JACKSON COUNTY, Miss. (WAPT) —Hundreds of protesters gathered in Moss Point, Mississippi, on Saturday, demanding answers and accountability in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, as investigators continue to search for clarity.
"Transparency is important. Since we started this, that is all we asked for, and it's just a lot of things with this case that's going on that's not clear," said Wells' mother, Christine Wonsley, during an interview with CNN on Saturday morning, hours before the protest.
Those who gathered in Moss Point said they want answers they believe they are not getting regarding Wells' death.
Wonsley said she has questions about her son's disappearance and death. The 18-year-old athlete was last seen during a Fourth of July boating trip to Mississippi's Horn Island. His body was found in the water the following day, but investigators have not yet determined how he died.
Police said there were no obvious signs of trauma or foul play. They are awaiting autopsy and toxicology results while continuing to interview everyone who was with Wells that day.
"Nolan was my best friend. That's what I keep hearing, you know, Nolan was my best friend, but the way Nolan was, he would have made sure, right, and with any of his friends across the board, whether you're black, white, pink, purple. Nolan would have made sure, hey man, let's go," said Wonsley.
"If you come with me, you're going to leave with me because if anything happens to you and I was the one that brought you there, then I would be the one to have to answer to your parents. So I'm not gonna leave anyone's child anywhere if I took them somewhere," said Elmore Wonsley, Nolan's father.
Wells' parents have hired civil rights attorney Ben Crump to help review the case and ensure their questions and concerns are heard as they continue searching for answers.
"Consider the fact that all three of the other boys made it home safely, but Nolan did not make it home safely, and they had his cell phone," Crump said.
The voices of protesters on Saturday evening were impossible to ignore as supporters filled the streets of Moss Point, promising to demand answers until they learn how Wells never made it home.

This conversation goes beyond rap news. Loon connects the Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane case to street image, ego, federal court, contracts, public humiliation, the Jeezy Verzuz moment, and the price artists pay when the image they used to win becomes the image they cannot escape.
Watch the full episode as Loon breaks down why Pooh Shiesty recorded Gucci Mane, why the video matters, why Gucci’s image is being stripped, and what this situation says about rap culture, street rules, and the difference between force and finesse.
