Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect. These impressions can be caused by the fact that in both scenarios, articles are subjected to critical evaluation. This report is the product of an AI model that is significantly less biased than human analyses and has been explicitly instructed to strictly maintain 100% neutrality.
Nevertheless, HonestyMeter is in the experimental stage and is continuously improving through user feedback. If the report seems inaccurate, we encourage you to submit feedback , helping us enhance the accuracy and reliability of HonestyMeter and contributing to media transparency.

This is not the first time that the “Love Me” singer has been involved in a gun-related incident. In 2009, Wayne was brought up on charges after New York authorities found a .40-caliber Springfield Armory semi automatic rifle in the singer’s tour bus. Wayne pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and was later sentenced to one year of jail time. In December 2020, the rapper pleaded guilty to federal gun charges in Florida after authorities discovered a gold-plated gun onboard the musician’s jet. Former President Donald Trump later famously commuted Wayne’s sentence shortly before leaving the White House.
