50 Cent Keeps His Promise by Posting the ‘Really Bad' Things Diddy Has Said About Donald Trump
50 Cent promised to let Donald Trump know what Diddy has said about him in the past, and he followed up on exactly that when posting a pair of clips on Monday (June 2) featuring Combs condemning the president. 'See Trump don't like s–t like this buddy, you run your mouth to much,' 50 wrote in one caption. More from Billboard 50 Cent Says He's Going to 'Make Sure' Trump's Aware of 'Really Bad' Things Diddy Said About President Offset Deactivates Social Media Amid Ongoing Drama With Cardi B & Stefon Diggs The Game Picks His Top 100 L.A. Rappers: 'This My List, Punk!' The first video finds Sean Combs in conversation with Charlamagne Tha God, talking about a potential race war if the now twice-impeached president were in office. 'If Trump gets elected, I really do believe in my heart there'll be a race war,' Diddy said in the clip. Another video shows Diddy condemning Trump on REVOLT, saying: 'White men like Trump need to be banished.' Fans hopped into the comments, chiming in about 50 looking to kill any chance of a pardon for Diddy by Trump, who recently pardoned YoungBoy Never Broke Again. 'We will have BREAKING NEWS….from the White House to address by noon tomorrow…I am sure you just took that man's last hope for sure,' one fan wrote. The G-Unit mogul has been relentless in his trolling of Combs, as 50 even posted an edited image of himself rocking a 'Free Diddy' shirt on social media. Combs remains on trial in New York for federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. During Tuesday's 15th day of testimony, a hotel worker alleged Diddy paid them $100,000 to make sure the video of Combs assaulting Cassie never got out, per ABC News. Last week, Trump was asked about a potential Diddy pardon during an Oval Office briefing and said he'd consider it, but would have to take a look at the case. 'I haven't spoken to him in years,' Trump said. 'He used to really like me a lot. I think when I ran for politics, that relationship busted up. … I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact on me.'
