50 Cent says he will dissuade Trump from potential Diddy pardon

Rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson said he would contact President Trump to dissuade him from considering a pardon for Sean “Diddy” Combs if the embattled rapper and producer is found guilty in his ongoing federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial.

Trump said he would “look at the facts” when asked Friday if he would consider pardoning Combs.

“First of all, I’d look at what’s happening. And I haven’t been watching it too closely,” Trump said of the trial.

He added, “So, I don’t know. I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me wouldn’t have any impact.”

50 Cent criticized Combs in a Friday post on Instagram, claiming he has “said some really bad things about Trump.”

“I’m gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy,” the “In Da Club” rapper added, saying he would contact Trump about Combs.

He doubled down in a subsequent Instagram post, writing that Trump “doesn’t take well to disrespect.”

“He would consider pardoning anyone who was being mistreated not Puffy Daddy,” 50 Cent added.

Suge Knight, the former CEO of Death Row Records, also fanned the fire of speculation by suggesting earlier this week that Combs would receive a pardon if he’s convicted.

“I think he got some favors with the government. I think they’re going to show him a little leeway. It might not seem like it when it’s all said and done, but I don’t think he had nothing to worry about,” Knight told NewsNation. “I don’t think he’s worried, because he’s going to be federal. And if he gets convicted, Trump’s going to pardon him.” 

Trump has made headlines with his recent pardons, which included reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were convicted on bank fraud and tax evasion charges. Savannah Chrisley, one of the Chrisley’s daughters, said Trump told her on the phone that “you guys don’t look like terrorists.”
