Trump Says He’s Not Pardoning Diddy – And He’s Got Receipts (And a Grudge)
Well, well, well… it looks like bad boy for life might mean bad boy behind bars — at least if Donald Trump has anything to say about it.
In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump was asked a very spicy question: Would he pardon Sean “Diddy” Combs if re-elected? And Trump didn’t even hesitate. His answer? A big, fat nope. According to Trump, he’s “not inclined” to help his old pal out — and the tea behind it is piping hot.
Let’s rewind. Once upon a time, Diddy and Trump were legit friends. Like, vacation-together, dine-with-Melania, invite-to-the-suite type of friends. Diddy and his late partner Kim Porter were even known to be part of the Trump social circle. Yes, girl — that tight.
But then came the 2016 election, and things got messy. Trump decided to run for office, and suddenly, Diddy wasn’t down with the Donald. In fact, Diddy publicly called Trump out and made it clear he did not support his presidency. According to Trump, Diddy said some “nasty” things about him during the campaign. (Sidebar: Trump using the word “nasty” unironically will always be wild.)
Now, with Diddy facing a mountain of legal trouble — including multiple lawsuits and rumors of criminal charges possibly heading his way — people are wondering if Trump would step in and save him with a presidential pardon. You know, like he did for Kodak Black and Lil Wayne.
But here’s the catch: Trump doesn’t forget. And he definitely doesn’t forgive.
In Trump’s own words, Diddy was once a friend, but he turned on him publicly, and now he’s got to deal with the consequences. And let’s be real — you know Trump is all about loyalty. So, the second Diddy flipped on him, that was it. Game over.
Now, let’s keep it cute — this is all happening while Diddy’s name is in the headlines for everything but music. With lawsuits piling up, raids on his homes in Miami and L.A., and rumors swirling of even more charges to come, it’s safe to say the Bad Boy mogul is having the worst year of his life. And now, one of the most powerful men in the world (who also happens to be petty AF) just made it crystal clear: Diddy’s not getting any presidential lifelines from him.
Oop.
We can’t help but wonder if Diddy regrets publicly dissing Trump. Not that we’re saying he should’ve stayed silent (free speech and all that), but now that legal trouble’s knocking and he’s looking for powerful friends, it’s looking a little lonely at the top.
Meanwhile, Trump seems to be enjoying the moment — using it as yet another chance to flex and remind folks that he doesn’t forget betrayal.
So what’s next for Diddy? That remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure — Trump won’t be bailing him out, and the internet is already eating this drama up.
