Rapper 50 Cent has revealed plans to speak directly with US President Donald Trump regarding the possibility of a presidential pardon for music mogul Sean Diddy Combs, currently facing serious charges in a sex trafficking case.The In Da Club rapper took to social media over the weekend to share his intentions following Trump’s recent remarks in a televised interview, where he said that he would “consider” pardoning Diddy. 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, took to his social media handle to post, “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.”He went on to add, “He 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.” The statement quickly circulated online, with some outlets interpreting his remarks as a call for Trump to block a possible pardon for Diddy. However, 50 cent clarified that he simply wants to express his personal views and “inform” the president. Reposting a headline of an article claiming he “plans to nuke” the musician’s chances of getting pardoned, the rapper retorted, “I didn’t say I would nuke anything, I simply said I would make sure Trump is aware.”50 Cent has been openly critical of Diddy in recent months, especially following his arrest in September 2024 as part of an ongoing federal sex trafficking investigation. The case has seen multiple witnesses testify, including a former assistant adding to the mounting allegations.Despite the charges, Trump hinted he may be open to pardoning Diddy, depending on how the case unfolds. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office this week, “Nobody’s asked, but I know people are thinking about it.” The president added: “First of all, I’d look at what’s happening, and I haven’t been watching it too closely…I haven’t seen him. I haven’t spoken to him in years.”Besides taking shots at Diddy, 50 Cent has also been taking to his handle to troll rapper Jay-Z for his association with the musician.
