Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has made it clear, he’s against President Donald Trump giving Sean “Diddy” Combs a get out of jail free card.
On Friday, May 30, Trump sent shockwaves through the pop culture world when he said he’d “look at the facts” and consider granting Diddy a pardon if the embattled music mogul is found guilty in his sex trafficking trial. But for now, Trump said “nobody’s asked.”
Diddy’s longtime rap rival, 50 Cent, was having none of it.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, the “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” star shared a clip of Trump’s comments, and added a caption noting that Diddy has “said some really bad things about Trump.” 50 Cent said he planned to “reach out so [Trump] knows how I feel about this guy.”

According to USA Today, 50 Cent shared, then deleted another post and doubled down, saying Diddy’s past comments about Trump might hurt has chances.
“Donald doesn’t take well to disrespect, and doesn’t forget who chooses to go against him,” he wrote.
Fifty uploaded one more post with a screenshot of a news article, insisting that he’s not trying to “nuke” the Bad Boy Records founder’s pardon chances, but he wants to make sure Trump is “aware” of all the facts.
In 2023, 50 Cent announced he was working on a documentary about Diddy, that will follow “decades” of alleged abuse, and he promised to bring “receipts.”
In September 2024, it was confirmed that Netflix secured the rights to the docuseries after a bidding war.
50 Cent will executive produce the project through his G-Unit Film & Television company, with Alexandria Stapleton on board for House of Nonfiction and Texas Crew Productions also producing.
