President Trump not considering pardon for Diddy

President Trump has shut down any hopes Diddy had for a presidential pardon. In a recent interview, he revealed receiving a letter from the music mogul but made it clear he's not granting the request. This comes after Diddy's team reached out to the White House following his sentencing last year.

Oh, the drama! Just when Diddy thought a pardon might be his ticket out of FCI Fort Dix, President Trump has popped that bubble with a firm no. Speaking to The New York Times, Trump spilled that he got a letter from Diddy begging for mercy, but he's 'not considering' it. Bursting Diddy's dreams, indeed! 🔥

Rewind to October 2025: Diddy was slapped with a 50-month sentence for prostitution charges. Almost immediately, his legal squad hustled to contact a high-ranking White House official close to POTUS about a commutation or pardon. Trump even admitted to the media he knew about the ask and was 'vacillating' on it back then. But fast-forward to now, January 8, 2026, and it sounds like the Donald has drawn a line in the sand—no lifeline for the Bad Boy.

Sources say Diddy was hyping up inmates at the New Jersey prison last November, boasting he'd be out early 2026 thanks to Trump's signature. Talk about overconfidence! We reached out to Diddy's camp for tea, but they served up a big fat no comment. 😶

Is this the end of the road for Diddy's pardon dreams, or just another plot twist in his messy saga? Stay tuned, because in celeb justice, nothing's ever truly over.

Sean Combs has written a personal letter to President Donald Trump requesting a pardon following his sentencing to over four years in prison. Trump, once a social acquaintance of the music mogul, stated he is not considering the appeal. The request comes amid Combs' ongoing legal battles over sex trafficking-related charges.
