Diddy's camp explores Presidential Pardon from Trump amid sex trafficking case
ETimes | May 17, 2025 6:39 PM CST

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, currently facing serious federal charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, is reportedly trying behind the scenes to secure a potential presidential pardon.

According to a report by Rolling Stone, individuals connected to Diddy have allegedly initiated quiet discussions with people linked to Donald Trump's team since the beginning of Trump's second term. These conversations are described as being in their 'initial phases', but sources suggest that Diddy's inner circle is actively trying to establish connections with those operating within Trump's sphere.

Diddy's Willingness to "Do Anything"
One insider reportedly told Rolling Stone that Diddy is allegedly willing to "do anything to get out of jail," characterizing this as a consistent pattern in his behaviour – a willingness to take necessary actions to extricate himself from difficult situations.

"Unfair Targeting"
The alleged strategy reportedly hinges on the perceived shared experience of Diddy and Trump, who both believe they have been "unfairly targeted" by prosecutors. Both men have faced allegations of sexual misconduct, which they consider to be false, potentially creating a sense of shared grievance regarding their treatment by the justice system.

As of now, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that Donald Trump has been briefed on these alleged efforts or is actively considering intervening in any way regarding Diddy's legal situation. However, given the severity of the charges against the rapper, some of Trump's prominent allies are reportedly monitoring the situation closely.

Suge Knight's Prediction
Adding another layer to the situation, Diddy's longtime rival, Suge Knight, has publicly weighed in, expressing his belief that Diddy will "be all right" and receive a fair chance. Knight speculated during a call with NewsNation that Diddy might have "some favours with the government" leading to "a little leeway." He further added a prediction that "if he gets convicted, Trump’s going to pardon him."
