50 Cent’s long-standing feud with Sean “Diddy” Combs has now reached the political arena—this time, reportedly playing a major role in blocking Diddy’s shot at a presidential pardon.

Earlier this year, former President Donald Trump had hinted he might be open to granting clemency to Diddy. Back in May, Trump told reporters that if someone had been unfairly treated by the justice system, he would “look at the facts,” regardless of personal history. But by August, that tone had changed completely.

In an interview with *Newsmax*, Trump referred to Diddy as “half innocent,” but quickly pointed out that the rapper had “said very nasty things about me. It’s more difficult to pardon him.” That cold statement came just days after reports surfaced that Trump had been actively considering clemency for the music mogul.

Behind the scenes, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson was making sure Diddy didn’t catch a break. A vocal supporter of Trump in recent years, 50 launched an all-out offensive on social media to remind everyone—and especially Trump—why Diddy didn’t deserve leniency.

First, 50 reposted a resurfaced 2020 video where Diddy warned that Trump’s reelection would ignite a “race war,” and even said, *“White men like Trump need to be banished.”* 50 didn’t let that slide, using the clip to rally opposition to Diddy’s potential pardon. He even promised his followers that he would personally make sure Trump understood “how I feel about this guy.”

And when Trump eventually shut down the idea of granting a pardon, 50 Cent couldn’t help but gloat. He posted an AI-generated image mocking Diddy behind bars, captioned: *“Can you believe he thought he was getting pardoned? No sir, you are not.”*

Diddy is currently facing up to 10 years in prison on charges related to prostitution and sex trafficking. His legal team’s efforts to secure bond and delay sentencing have been denied. And now, with a burned bridge to Trump and an enemy like 50 Cent cheering from the sidelines, Diddy’s hopes for a presidential pardon are slipping further out of reach.
