Lil Wayne, Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, Other Celebs Push Obama Administration Drug Reform: "B**tches Love Me" Rapper Joins 100+ Entertainers For Incarceration Rule Change

Lil Wayne, Kim Kardashian, Scarlett Johansson and Nicki Minaj have joined the ranks of a massive celebrity movement for reform of the United States' criminal justice system as it pertains to drug offenses.

The star-studded coalition consists of over 100 celebrities and was put together by hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons. The entertainers presented a letter to President Obama on April 9 demanding a reform of the way sentences for drug-related offenses are handed out.

"It is critical that we change both the way we think about drug laws in this country and how we generate positive solutions that leave a lasting impact on rebuilding our communities," Simmons said.

The coalition wants a move toward rehabilitation and intervention sentences over hard jail time for non-violent drug offenders. Other reforms requested by the group- which also includes Ron Howard, Will Smith, Jennifer Hudson and Susan Sarandon-include waivers that allow judges to bypass minimum sentences for drug cases and a newly established panel to handle clemency requests.

The group praised President Obama's steps toward reform but thinks he needs to take it a bit further.

Since the beginning of the war on drugs the 1980s, the number of imprisoned Americans has skyrocketed. Less than 500,000 Americans were incarcerated at the beginning of the '80s. Compare that with 2,266,800 adults in 2010. Almost half of all prisoners are there on drug-related offenses.

The US has more citizens in prison than any other country in the world.
