Trump Says He’s Unlikely to Pardon Sean “Diddy” Combs: “He Was Very Hostile When I Ran for Office”

UNITED STATES, AUG 4 – Trump cites Sean 'Diddy' Combs' past hostility during the 2020 campaign as a key factor in denying a pardon despite the entertainer's conviction on two prostitution-related counts.

  • During a Newsmax interview, Trump said he was unlikely to pardon Sean 'Diddy' Combs, describing him as 'very hostile' during his campaign.
  • Speculation mounted after Combs' July 2, 2025 conviction on transportation to engage in prostitution, with reports suggesting Trump was 'seriously considering' a pardon.
  • Highlighting his comments, Trump said Combs was 'sort of half-innocent' and 'more likely a no' due to his hostility.
  • Facing sentencing, Combs sought a $50 million bail last week and may receive a 20-year prison term on October 3.
  • Amid broader debate, critics argue Trump is 'corrupting the pardon process' as Combs faces Oct. 3 sentencing, fueling ongoing political-celebrity tensions.
