President Trump Says He's Not Considering Pardoning Diddy

It looks like Diddy‘s going to have to suck it up and serve out his prison sentence … because President Trump says he’s not considering a pardon.

Trump told The New York Times he received a letter from Diddy seeking a pardon … but told the outlet he wasn’t considering granting the request.

POTUS is certainly bursting Diddy’s bubble here … as we first reported, Diddy was telling inmates at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey back in November that he would get a presidential pardon from Trump early in 2026.

Diddy is serving a 50-month sentence for his conviction on a couple of prostitution charges.

We broke the story … almost immediately after Diddy was sentenced in October 2025 his legal team got in touch with a high-ranking White House official who has the ear of the President regarding a commutation or pardon. Just days later, Trump told the media he was aware of Diddy’s ask.

Our sources told us, at the time, Trump was “vacillating” on a commutation … but now it sounds like he’s made a final decision.
