50 Cent is clowning Diddy after Trump claimed he requested a pardon.
After President Donald Trump claimed that the disgraced music mogul asked him for a pardon following his 50-month prison sentence, Fifty mocked the move on an Instagram post.
"Man you can’t get No pardon running ya mouth like that! LOL Get Out of here 😆," he wrote.
On Monday (Oct. 6), President Trump said that he received a request for a pardon from Diddy while speaking to reporters.
"I have had a lot of people ask me for pardons," he said. "I call him Puff Daddy, he has asked me for a pardon."
Diddy’s recent conviction involved violations of the Mann Act, connected to what prosecutors described as “freak offs,” which were hours or days-long sexual encounters he paid for, directed, and recorded involving his girlfriends and male escorts.
Reports from earlier this year suggested Trump had already “seriously considered” granting the 55-year-old a pardon.
According to a document reviewed by Complex, an attorney for Diddy sent a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian asking the court to “strongly recommend” he serve his sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison located near New Hanover, New Jersey. The request was made “in order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts.”
As noted by TMZ, Judge Subramanian can recommend a facility such as Fort Dix, but the Bureau of Prisons will ultimately decide where Diddy serves the rest of his sentence.
Diddy was also hit with a $500,000 fine in addition to his four year sentence. You can read more about his sentencing here.
50 Cent was previously reported to be working on a Netflix docuseries focusing on the allegations made against Diddy with proceeds going to victims of sexual assault. The alleged project remains untitled and without a definitive release date.
