Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, 55, was recently convicted on two prostitution-related counts following an acquittal on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

With sentencing due in October, former President Donald Trump is reportedly exploring a pardon.

Insiders told Deadline the clemency idea is now considered an “actionable event.”

Influential voices like Alice Marie Johnson—previously pardoned by Trump—and attorney Ed Martin are said to be championing the move.

Trump hinted earlier in May that he’d consider clemency for anyone he felt was “mistreated,” regardless of personal feelings.

That position has stirred division, especially after rapper 50 Cent publicly slammed the idea, saying Trump shouldn’t reward disrespect.
