While working tirelessly to make America great again there is no room for distraction. He would consider pardoning anyone who was being mistreated not Puffy Daddy." He went on to add, 'He said some really bad things about Trump, it's not ok. I'm gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy.' The statement quickly circulated online, with some outlets interpreting his remarks as a call for Trump to block a possible pardon for Diddy.

50 Cent vows to dissuade Trump from potential Diddy pardon
Rapper 50 Cent will contact President Trump to deter him from considering a pardon for disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, according to a social media post. Trump shockingly said Friday that he would be open to pardoning Combs if he is found guilty at his ongoing federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial. 'Nobody's asked. But I know people are thinking about it. I know they're thinking about it. I think some people have been very close to asking,' Trump, 78, said during an Oval Office press conference with Elon Musk.

He has since gleefully roasted Combs over the torrent of accusations that erupted after the 'Mo Money Mo Problems' singer's ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura dropped a bombshell lawsuit outlining alleged abuse and degrading 'freak-off' sex parties. The 'Candy Shop' hip-hop legend — besides razzing his rival's alleged love of lubricants — is producing an as-yet-unreleased Netflix documentary about the sexual assault accusations against Combs. He has said the proceeds will go toward victims of sexual assault and rape. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty.

50 Cent mocks Diddy after his name is mentioned during testimony in sex trafficking trial
50 Cent says he isn't scared of 'itty bitty Diddy,' following a day of court testimony about the feud between the two rappers. The 49-year-old rapper joked about being afraid of an incarcerated Sean 'Diddy' Combs , 55, on Tuesday after he was mentioned during Combs' sex trafficking trial. Capricorn Clark, a former assistant for Combs from 2004 to 2012, testified that the disgraced mogul once threatened 50 Cent after an MTV press event by telling his employees that he had guns. It didn't take long for the '9 Shots' rapper to respond. 'Cut, a minute PUFFY's got a gun, I can't believe this I don't feel 50 Cent captioned an AI photo of himself on a movie set on Instagram. Hours later, 50 Cent posted another dig at Combs, captioning another AI-generated photo of himself looking scared in a New York Yankees hat, 'Oh my goodness itty bitty Diddy wants me Dead, I have to lay low, I think I'm gonna hide out at the playoff game tonight. LOL.' The Independent has contacted a representative for 50 Cent for comment. Clark testified Tuesday that after a visit to MTV Studios, she entered an elevator with Combs and an 'entertainment manager' who worked with both rappers. 'They were having a back and forth,' Clark testified about Combs and the manager. Clark recalled Combs then saying, ''I don't like all the back and forth … I like guns,'' in a tone she perceived as 'very serious.' Elsewhere in her testimony on Tuesday, Clark claimed Combs threatened to kill her during her first day on the job and also kidnapped her at gunpoint to join him in an effort to kill rapper Kid Cudi, who Ventura was in a relationship with. 50 Cent is a longtime critic of Combs on social media, posting memes and comments about his legal troubles. His latest mockery comes more than two decades after the 'In Da Club' rapper was shot nine times outside of his grandmother's house in Queens. Despite injuries including broken legs and wounds to the face and hands, 50 Cent survived, which ultimately boosted his early music career. According to the New York Post, after Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura testified about being forced into "freak-off" sex sessions and detailed abuse she had suffered, 50 Cent took to Instagram, writing, 'Damn he did all that s*** to go out like this, [shaking my head]...This s*** crazier th[a]n regular crazy.' 50 Cent is also releasing a Netflix docuseries about Combs' alleged crimes titled Diddy Do It? with proceeds going to victims of the sexual assault and rape allegations against Combs. 50 Cent is executive producing the series alongside Alex Stapleton and David Karabinas. A release date for the project has yet to be announced. Combs, 55, is facing federal charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty and denies any wrongdoing.

50 Cent Mocks Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Tough Guy Talk As Ex-Aide Details Bad Blood Between Duo In Trial Testimony
50 Cent isn't scheduled to testify in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex-trafficking trial, but the Power franchise executive producer captured the courtroom spotlight today with a well executed swipe at his long time nemesis. Coming off the Memorial Day long weekend, Tuesday morning saw former Diddy aide Capricorn Clark on the stand for the prosecution with insider intel on the alleged violence, threats, polygraph tests, and dual kidnappings the witness said she experienced over her various stints working for the 'I'll Be Missing You' performer. More from Deadline Sean 'Diddy' Combs Sex-Trafficking Trial Updates: Cassie Ventura's Testimony, $10M Hotel Settlement, Drugs, Violence, & The Feds "What The F*ck": Kid Cudi Responds At Sean "Diddy" Combs Trial To Torched Porsche & Other Threats From "Supervillain" Over Dating Cassie Ventura Kid Cudi To Testify Thursday In Sean "Diddy" Combs' Sex-Trafficking Trial About Threats Against Him & Cassie Ventura Expected to last at least another six to seven weeks, the criminal trial of the much-accused and currently incarcerated Combs follows his arrest last September on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and more. The 55-year-old Combs faces the rest of his life behind bars in federal prison if found guilty by the jury in this case. Sometimes overcome with emotion and with a blue sweater wearing Combs sitting near-by in Judge Arun Subramanian's lower Manhattan courtroom, Clark also detailed for the jury the multiple beatings she says she saw Diddy unleash on his on-and-off girlfriend Cassie Ventura over the years. Additionally, in one more piece of the prosecution's often plodding building of the criminal case, Clark spoke of her then jealous boss Combs' car burning and home invading beef with Kid Cudi. More acutely she noted unfulfilled vows by Combs to 'kill' Kid Cudi at one point while the acclaimed rapper was briefly involved with Ventura in 2011. As anyone who knows hip hops knows, Kid Cudi wasn't the only rapper Combs and his firearm carrying posse had tensions with. Former personal assistant Clark told the 12-person jury Tuesday that Combs told her he 'had an issue with 50 Cent.' Now, with Combs and the 'In Da Club' performer born Curtis Jackson having tossed verbal and social media grenades at each other for years and years, any issue between the two is old news. What was revealed today was that Combs took those issues a little bit harder than was previously suggested. Under oath, Clark said Tuesday that after a MTV event with 50 Cent in attendance a few years back, she heard Combs tell his then manager, the now deceased Chris Lighty that he had problems with the often provocative Jackson. 'I don't like all the back and forth,' Clark said an irritated Combs remarked off the event with 50. 'I don't do that, I like guns,' she says Diddy went on to tell Lighty, in what Clark took as both a threat and a reference to the near fatal shooting (as dramatically depicted in the Jim Sheridan directed 2005 movie Get Rich or Die Tryin') the then unknown 50 suffered in May 2000 in Queens, NY over a drug deal. Never one to miss an opportunity to mock Diddy or produce a critical documentary about him, 50 Cent went online today not long after Clark, who worked for the Den of Thieves star too at one point, told the story on the stand. 'Wait a minute PUFFY's got a gun, I can't believe this I don't feel safe,' a sarcastic 50 posted on his Instagram Tuesday morning. 'LOL,' he added, sticking it to Diddy. Neither Combs nor his lawyers have addressed the 50 Cent story Clark told today, at least not yet. Entering a not guilty plea last year in this criminal trial, Combs, as he has in the dozens and dozens of cases against him, including the quickly settled ($20 million) civil abuse and assault action by Ventura in November 2023, says he did nothing wrong. In fact, as his defense pitched in their opening statement on May 12, while the baby oil lathered 'freak-offs' and more that were part of a swinger and voyeuristic fueled lifestyle may come across as unseemly to some, everything was consensual between adults. To that, Combs and his team basically assert the feds are simply prudes with subpoena powers. Going into explicit, often embarrassing and frequently harrowing recollections of her 2007 to 2018 relationship with the admitted domestic violence abuse Combs, a very very pregnant Ventura was the star witness for Week 1 of the May 12 starting trial. Amidst testimony from some male sex workers who participated for cash in the drug juiced and often filmed 'freak-offs' Combs supposedly strong-armed Ventura into under ultimatums of leaking those videos and more beatings, the 'Me & U' singer's mother also was in the witness box, as was Kid Cudi a.k.a. Scott Mescudi himself. Under concerns about safety, the feds are keeping their witness list close to the chest, but we know various LA and NYC law enforcement officials are anticipated to testify this week. One individual who will almost certainly not be testifying in the trial is the much-vaulted and much discussed Victim-3. A key component of the prosecution's case, the former Combs girlfriend going under the moniker 'Gina' was supposed to take the stand to go in-depth on the abuse and criminal activity she suffered and saw from Combs. Problem is about a week before the trial started, the prosecution admitted to Judge Subramanian and the defense team during jury selection that they were suddenly not able to get in touch with the out of state Victim-3 not her attorney. With a looming risk of the 10-lawyer deep Marc Agnifilo, Teny Geragos and Brian Steel-led defense maybe choosing to move for a mistrial, the government worked to get Victim-3/Gina in court. Put on the shelf for the judge, though not forgotten by the defense if needed for an appeal, the status of Victim-3 has now become clearer. At this point, she will not be a part of the prosecution's case – – which will cause fallout no matter what side of the matter you are on. Another potential problem for the prosecution is the convoluted realities of Combs' business world and personal life and the control the deep pocketed Bad Boy Records founder had over his employees, label signings and lovers – some of which like Ventura were the same people. As Clark made obvious today with her own settlement with her ex-boss and an attempt as recently as a year ago to work for him again, black and white moral judgements were rare in Diddyland. A fact that appears, at this stage, to hinder the government's intention to establish that Combs created a criminal racketeering enterprise and a conspiracy. Over the past two weeks, the prosecution has been laying a foundation for its case, but very slowly and meticulously – one could even say mind-numbing. If the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York really believes, as they indicated today, they'll wrap up their case a week early, they might want to step it up a notch or two to seal the deal with the jury. No matter the strategy, time is of the essence. Judge Subramanian has set court to run daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET. and promised jurors they will be done before the July 4th holiday.

50 Cent trolls ‘Molotov' Sean Diddy with aged AI snap amid trial, blasts him for ‘traumatizing' Kid Cudi's dog
50 Cent circulated an AI image of rapper Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs, teasing how the music tycoon may look after 20 years in prison. The In Da Club musician, who has been an outspoken critic of the founder of Bad Boy Records since Diddy's alleged sex trafficking was made public, has been merciless with regard to the rapper's ongoing legal disputes. 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, has been making fun of his fellow rapper on social media. In his latest Instagram jibe against Diddy, 50 Cent shared an AI image of the rapper looking weathered and old during his appearances in court. 'What's the spread on this, I got Diddy doing 20. His friends just got the f-- away for him. SMH BadBoy Dangerous!' Also Read: 'Can't believe this is me'; Rosie O'Donnell stuns fans with drastic weight loss from Mounjaro, what is it? In a previous post, 50 Cent made fun of the claim that Diddy used a Molotov cocktail to destroy rapper Kid Cudi's car. In court, Cudi stated that Combs, who was seeing Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, broke into his house in 2012 and used the weapon to blow up his Porsche 911 convertible. Cudi went on to claim that Diddy traumatized his dog in the process. A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) 50 Cent quickly posted pictures of the burned-out car online, writing, 'Molotov Diddy was doing old school s--- out here. Old killer Rat Jimmy threw one them at us. LOL.' A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) Earlier this week, 50 Cent posted an image of Kid Cudi wearing what looked like a bridal gown. He added a scathing comment, saying, 'Cudi gonna testify like, I'm on your a-- now Diddy DON'T ACT LIKE YA DIDN'T DO IT NOW! YA DID IT! LOL.' The three federal indictments against Diddy included sex trafficking, conspiracy racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has proclaimed himself innocent on all counts. Earlier this month, the Queens rapper also posted a video of people alleging to have been given money for sporting 'Free Diddy' shirts. 50 stated in the caption, 'Diddy paying people to wear Free Diddy shirts is diabolical.' 'But $20 a hour ain't bad. I might go throw that on for a hour tomorrow,' he added.
