Trump May Commute Diddy’s Prison Sentence Following Appeal From Rapper’s Legal Team

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering commuting rapper and music mogul Diddy’s prison sentence, with a decision possibly coming as early as this week, according to a senior White House source.

The insider revealed that Trump has been “going back and forth” on the decision. While several members of his inner circle have advised against granting the commutation, the source noted that “Trump will do what he wants,” suggesting the move could still happen at any moment.

Diddy, currently serving a 50-month sentence for violating the Mann Act, has completed about 13 months. With credit for good behavior, he could be released in roughly two years — though that would become irrelevant if Trump decides to intervene.

Shortly after Diddy’s sentencing earlier this month, his legal team reportedly contacted a high-ranking White House official close to Trump to push for a possible commutation or pardon.

Trump later confirmed to reporters that he was aware of the request. Despite their rocky history — particularly after Diddy endorsed Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential race — Trump has not ruled out granting him clemency.
