Allies of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs asking for a pardon from President Trump
In the midst of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s high-profile trial, allies close to the rap superstar have been pushing for a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump.
The rap mogul, real name Sean Combs, has been dealing with major sexual assault charges stemming from his alleged abuse of his ex-partner, Cassie Ventura. Since then, multiple people have come out accusing the superstar of sexual assault allegations and various activities involving underage men and women at his “freakoff” parties.
Now, sources close to Rolling Stone state that a number of major players in the rap industry are calling upon the president to prevent Combs from being incarcerated for his crimes. In an effort to shine a positive light on Combs, the statement emphasises the fact that Combs’s case has nothing to do with business, stating, “This is about Sean Combs’ private, personal sex life, which has nothing to do with his lawful businesses”.
The source also states that the main objective Combs has with this move is to avoid any jail time, saying, “He’s willing to do anything to get out of jail. He’s always been this way. He’s always going to do what he has to do to get out of a situation.”
Both millionaires have also expressed their mutual admiration for each other over the years. Trump had previously been complimentary towards Combs while on The Apprentice, and prior to Trump’s first presidency, Combs had been advocating for Trump to take office, claiming that the country under Barack Obama had “shortchanged” the Black Community.
This is also far from the first time the President has given pardons for musicians. During his first term, Trump was able to grant clemency to Death Row Records’s mogul and close friend of Snoop Dogg, Michael ‘Harry-O’ Harris.
As of yet, there has been no word on the rap star’s sentence, and his team has made no further comments regarding his affiliation with President Trump.
