Diddy Reportedly Boasting Behind Bars About Donald Trump Pardon
Looks like Diddy’s feeling a little too confident behind those prison walls. According to a new report from TMZ, the Bad Boy mogul has been telling fellow inmates that Donald Trump plans to give him a pardon. Yeah, you read that right.
Sources from the federal prison in New Jersey told TMZ that Diddy’s been bragging nonstop about Trump coming through for him early next year. Word is, he’s convinced the former president will cut his sentence short and let him walk free long before his 50-month bid is up.
Diddy officially checked into Fort Dix last week after being sentenced for breaking the Mann Act. He’s already put in 13 months, and with good behavior, he could be home in about two years. But if Trump’s “favor” really happens, that could all change real quick.
Trump’s White House Team Reportedly Split Over Diddy’s Pardon
As we mentioned last month, Trump’s been pretty back-and-forth about whether or not to actually grant Diddy that pardon. Some folks on his team reportedly told him not to touch it, calling it “too messy.”
But an insider told TMZ, “Trump will do what he wants.” And honestly, that tracks. Trump’s been unpredictable his whole political career, and he’s known to make big moves just to shake things up.
Even though Diddy publicly supported Joe Biden during the 2020 election, Trump hasn’t completely iced him out. Word is, he’s been “open” to the idea—especially since his people know how headlines like that would hit. A presidential pardon for one of hip-hop’s biggest moguls? That would definitely make waves in the culture.
