50 Cent threatens to stop Donald Trump from pardoning Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
50 Cent has threatened to intervene if Donald Trump looks to pardon Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The Bad Boy rapper is currently on trial for charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force, and transportation for purposes of prostitution, with the US president recently addressing his legal situation.
Speaking to reporters at the Oval Office last week, Trump said, “Nobody’s asked, but I know people are thinking about it. First of all, I’d look at what’s happening, and I haven’t been watching it too closely. I haven’t seen him. I haven’t spoken to him in years.”
50, who has a longtime issue with Combs, came across Trump’s comments and claimed he would step in to inform Trump about his rival’s history.
Taking to Instagram, 50 said, “He said some really bad things about Trump. It’s not ok. I’m gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy.” He added, “Donald doesn’t take well to disrespect, and doesn’t forget who chooses to go against him. While working tirelessly to make America great again there is no room for distraction.”
When a headline stated 50 planned to “nuke” Combs’ chances of a pardon, he stated, “I didn’t say I would nuke anything, I simply said I would make sure Trump is aware.”
50 has been outspoken about Combs’ charges and was even mentioned in the trial last week. Combs’ former assistant, Capricorn Clark, brought up 50’s name while taking the stand.
During her testimony, she alleged Combs discussed guns when he and his ex-manager, Chris Lighty, were in an elevator following an MTV event with 50 Cent. Combs allegedly told those in the lift that he had an issue with 50 and said, “I like guns.”
In response on social media, 50 said, “Cut, CUT. Wait a minute PUFFY’s got a gun, I can’t believe this I don’t feel safe LOL.” Hours later, he added, “Oh my goodness itty bitty Diddy wants me Dead, I have to lay low, I think I’m gonna hide out at the playoff game tonight. LOL.”
50 is also behind an upcoming Netflix docuseries titled Diddy Do It, which is about Combs’ sexual misconduct allegations.
