In a recent development intertwining the worlds of entertainment and politics, rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has publicly declared his intention to dissuade former President Donald Trump from granting a potential pardon to fellow music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Combs is currently on trial facing serious federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering.
The situation escalated following a press conference where Trump, when questioned about the possibility of pardoning Combs, stated, “Nobody’s asked. But I know people are thinking about it. I know they’re thinking about it. I think some people have been very close to asking.” He further added, “First of all, I’d look at what’s happening, and I haven’t been watching it too closely, although it’s certainly … .” Trump acknowledged that he hadn’t spoken to Combs in years but noted their past association.
In response, 50 Cent took to Instagram, expressing his concerns over the potential pardon. He wrote, “He said some really bad things about … .” In a subsequent post, he emphasized, “Donald doesn’t take well to disrespect … . While working tirelessly … .”
The longstanding feud between 50 Cent and Diddy adds another layer to this narrative. Their rivalry dates back nearly two decades, with various public spats and diss tracks. Recently, during Combs’ trial, his former assistant testified about a past incident where Combs allegedly made a veiled threat towards 50 Cent, saying, “I don’t like all the back and … … I like … 50 Cent responded on Instagram with a mocking post, “Wait a minute PU … .”
Further intensifying the situation, 50 Cent is producing a Netflix documentary focusing on the allegations against Combs. He has pledged to donate the proceeds to victims of sexual assault and rape. This move underscores his commitment to highlighting the severity of the charges and ensuring accountability.
Combs, 55, … to all charges. The trial, which began in May 2025, has seen testimonies from multiple witnesses, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie … him of physical abuse. If convicted, Combs could face a life sentence.
The intersection of celebrity, politics, and the justice system in this case highlights the complexities of high-profile legal proceedings. As the trial progresses, the public awaits further developments, particularly regarding any potential political interventions.
