This foreign born one named singer/rapper and this former A+ list rapper know a certain prisoner is never getting out of jail.

But, they also know that their fans have no idea, so just sell them merch at overinflated prices and make the fans think, but not say, it is going to the cause.

Kanye West, Drake hold LA concert to ‘Free Larry Hoover,’ notorious Chicago gang killer

CHICAGO (WLS) — Two of Kanye West’s greatest hits are entitled “Power” and “Gone.”

Both of them aptly describe Chicago street gang magnate Larry Hoover, whom the rapper sang on behalf of Thursday night in the Los Angeles Coliseum.

Hoover, 71, wasn’t able to attend the show in SoCal because he is gone for the rest of his life behind bars at the nation’s Supermax prison in Colorado.

Hoover, considered the most powerful and bloodthirsty gangster in Chicago since Al “Scarface” Capone roamed the streets almost a century ago, is serving six life sentences for his role as the murderous and ruthless chairman of Chicago’s feared Gangster Disciples criminal organization. In 1997 he was convicted of murder conspiracy, extortion, money laundering and other federal charges. When he was prosecuted, authorities estimated the gang did $100 million in illicit business. He has also been convicted in Illinois state court on similar violent charges.

Despite his criminal history, and the unending prison sentence he is serving, Kanye West and fellow rapper Drake put on a show at the Coliseum entitled “Free Larry Hoover.” While some of the in-person show tickets were still listed for $300 on internet broker sites the day of the concert, it was also streamed live to more than 240 nations on Prime Video, via the Amazon Music app and at select IMAX theatres across the U.S. – Source
