Sean 'Diddy' Combs' iconic costume from the movie, 'Monster's Ball,' is officially up for auction with GWS Auctions, 25 years after the movie was first released.
The outfit includes a white Hanes crewneck T-shirt, a light gray hoodie with the sleeves cut off, a pair of jeans with one pant leg cut off, black shoes and white socks. Diddy wore the costume in the beginning of the film.
In the 2001 romantic drama, Diddy portrayed Lawrence Musgrove, a man who is grappling with fatherhood and regret as he awaits his execution on death row.
The disgraced rapper was praised for his performance in the movie, which came early in his acting career, and was a stark transition from his previous work in music videos.
He wasn't the only star to receive praise for their performance. His co-star, Halle Berry
, went on to win the Academy Award for best actress in 2002, becoming the first black actress to take home the best actress award in Oscar's history.
According to the auction house, 'The costume will come with a production costumer's tag with various information about the costume and scenes.' The auction house claims they acquired the costume from Star Wares of Los Angeles and that the sale will include a Letter of Provenance.
Following President Donald Trump's
pardon of reality TV couple, Todd and Julie Chirsley last week, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked the president about his friendship with Sean 'Diddy' Combs and whether he would pardon the disgraced rapper if he's found guilty in his federal sex crimes trial.
When asked the question, Trump said 'nobody's asked,' yet but that he 'know[s] people are thinking about it.'
Trump also explained that he and Diddy were friendly in the past, but that their 'relationship busted up' when he entered the political sphere saying, 'I'd read some little bit nasty statements in the paper all of a sudden.'
Their relationship status won't alter his decision making though. 'I would certainly look at the facts,' he said. 'If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact on me.'
After hearing the president's comments, rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, took to social media to tell the president that Diddy has voiced negative opinions about Trump. "I'm going to reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy," 50 Cent said, per Us Weekly.
50 Cent later shared a screenshot of an article with the headline, "50 Cent Plans to Nuke Diddy's Chances at a Pardon."
"I didn't say nuke anything," the rapper wrote. "I simply said I will make sure Trump is aware."
Jackson and Diddy have had a longstanding feud dating back to 2006 when 50 Cent released a Diddy diss track, claiming the rapper had knowledge about the murder of The Notorious B.I.G.
50 Cent called Diddy a liar when CNN obtained and released the now infamous Cassie Ventura assault video, saying, 'First, he denied that it even happened, and then the tape comes out – so that means everything that n---- says is a lie.'
"When someone watches that, if they have a daughter and they can imagine her being under those circumstances, that s-- is crazy,' he told The Hollywood Reporter at the time. 'Like, they let him get away with it. With all the influence and power you have, the person you're with is supposed to want to be a part of your life, not be forced."
