Donald Trump has given a definitive answer on whether he’ll grant Diddy‘s request for a pardon — and it’s not good news<\/a> for the Bad Boy boss.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The New York Times<\/a><\/em> on Wednesday (January 7), President Trump revealed that Puffy had “asked me for a pardon … through a letter.”<\/p>\n

However, “Mr. Trump said he is not considering granting the request,” the publication reported. “Mr. Trump also indicated that he had no intention of pardoning several other high-profile people.”<\/p>\n

The existence of the letter has not been previously reported, but last summer one of Diddy’s attorneys, Nicole Westmoreland, told CNN<\/em> that “we\u2019ve reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon.”<\/p>\n

Months later, TMZ<\/a><\/em> reported that Trump was considering granting clemency to Diddy, who is serving a four-year prison sentence on prostition-related charges.<\/p>\n

“The President is ‘vacillating’ on a commutation. We’re told some of the W.H. staff are urging Trump not to commute the sentence,” the outlet reported. “But, our source states the obvious — ‘Trump will do what he wants,’ and we’re told Trump could set Diddy free as early as this week.”<\/p>\n

However, the White House denied this report, with an official telling the National News Desk<\/a><\/em> that it was “fake news” that Trump was considering commuting Diddy’s sentence.<\/p>\n

Despite once being social<\/a> acquaintances, Trump previously indicated that he would not grant Diddy any favors in relation to his legal problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very friendly with him. I got along with him great, and [he] seemed like a nice guy. I didn\u2019t know him well,\u201d the president told the cable network Newsmax<\/a> last year. “But when I ran for office, he was very hostile.”<\/p>\n

Trump added that the rap mogul’s criticism of his presidential campaign would make it “more difficult” for him to pardon him.<\/p>\n

In a 2020 interview with Charlamagne Tha God<\/a>, Diddy said he believed that a “race war” would erupt if Trump was voted back into office for a second term.<\/p>\n

He added: “White men like Trump need to be banished.”<\/p>\n
