Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ ongoing sex-trafficking trial in New York has seemingly drawn a considerable amount of attention. Not only have members of the general public taken an interest since Combs’ arrest in September 2024, but members of the hip hop community have shared varying thoughts as well. 50 Cent has been a vocal opponent of Diddy, and most recently declared that he’d derail any kind of pardon attempt for him. Meanwhile, Suge Knight is arguing as to why his former rival shouldn’t spend years in prison.
As 55-year-old Diddy’s legal entanglements have persisted, 50 Cent hasn’t held back from chastising him for his reported offenses. The 49-year-old music star – whose real name is Curtis Jackson – spoke out again after U.S. President Donald Trump was asked if he’d consider pardoning Diddy. During a press conference held in the Oval Office, Trump admitted (via The New York Post) that while he hadn’t been following the case “too closely” and would have to “look at what’s happening.” Yet POTUS seemed open to a pardon.
