Trump to Review Potential Diddy Pardon as 50 Cent Vows to Intervene

U.S. President Trump says he will “certainly look at the facts” about a possible Diddy pardon, while 50 Cent promises to step in and oppose it.

Trump Considers Pardon for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

U.S. President Donald Trump recently stated he would carefully examine the facts surrounding a potential pardon for Sean “Diddy” Combs amid the rapper’s ongoing federal trial for sex trafficking and racketeering.

Trump remarked at a press conference that while no official request had been made, he knew people were “very close to asking.” This announcement sparks attention given Trump’s history of pardoning notable hip-hop figures such as NBA YoungBoy and Lil Wayne, who both benefited from his clemency during his terms.

From Friendship to Fallout: Trump and Diddy’s Complex History

The once amicable relationship between Trump and Combs has chilled over the years. Trump candidly mentioned not having spoken to Diddy in years, attributing their fallout to Trump’s political run.

“He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics that relationship busted up… I read some little bit nasty statements in the paper all of a sudden.”
— Donald Trump

Despite their souring relationship, Trump emphasized he would impartially assess potential mistreatment regardless of personal feelings. “If I think somebody is mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact on me,” he explained.

50 Cent’s Opposition and Upcoming Documentary

Sean Combs faces serious accusations, pleading not guilty to five criminal counts including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He vehemently denies all allegations, asserting all sexual activities involved were consensual.

50 Cent Promises to Oppose Any Pardon

In a bold move, rapper 50 Cent, who has long been vocal in his criticism of Combs, vowed to intervene if Trump considers pardoning Diddy. On Instagram, 50 Cent posted (since deleted):

“[Combs] said some really bad things about Trump, it’s not ok. I’m gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy.”

He added:

“Donald doesn’t take well to disrespect, and doesn’t forget who chooses to go against him. While working tirelessly to make America great again there is no room for distraction. He would consider pardoning anyone who was being mistreated, not Puffy Daddy.”

The drama between the two artists adds an intense layer to the ongoing legal saga.

50 Cent’s Documentary on the Allegations

50 Cent is also working on a documentary titled Diddy Do It? that explores the allegations swirling around Combs. Netflix secured the rights to the series in late 2024, expanding the project to cover the latest trial updates.

Trial Highlights and Celebrity Reactions

The trial commenced last month, with former girlfriend Cassie Ventura testifying against Diddy, accusing him of years of brutal sexual abuse.

Meanwhile, other celebrities like Justin Bieber and Jamie Foxx have publicly denied rumors linking them to the allegations or conspiracy theories surrounding Diddy.
