Speculation is mounting around Sean "Diddy" Combs possibly seeking a presidential pardon from Donald Trump amid his ongoing trial for sex trafficking and racketeering. Though the trial is far from over, sources suggest that Diddy may reach out to Trump for clemency. However, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is vocally opposing this potential move.

50 Cent has taken to Instagram to express his disapproval, making clear his intent to communicate his concerns directly to Trump. In one of his posts, Jackson wrote, "He said some really bad things about Trump, it's not ok. Im gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy." Another post read, "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.”

During a recent press conference on Friday, Trump addressed the rumors, stating, "People have been very close to asking" for a pardon for Diddy, though no formal requests have been made yet. The former President indicated he would consider a pardon if he believed someone was being mistreated, irrespective of their personal feelings towards him. "If I think somebody is mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact on me,” Trump said.

Nonetheless, Trump acknowledged a strained relationship with Diddy, noting they haven't spoken in years. "He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics that relationship busted up. From what I read. I don't know, he didn't tell me that,” Trump elaborated. "But I read some little bit nasty statements in the paper all of a sudden."

As the courtroom battles continue and public figures weigh in, the possibility of a presidential pardon for Diddy remains uncertain, influenced both by legal considerations and personal histories.
