Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson reacted after Donald Trump confirmed Sean “Diddy” Combs’ reps asked him for a pardon.
The President made the statement to reporters on Monday (Oct. 6) after Combs was sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in prison on Friday, Oct. 3.
“A lot of people have asked me for pardons. I call him Puff Daddy,” Trump said in the Oval Office of the White House. “He has asked me for a pardon.”
On his Instagram page, 50 Cent seemed to remind the president of Combs’ negative remarks in the past.
50 shared a video of Combs saying, “White men like Trump need to be banished … the No. 1 priority is to get Trump out of office.”
“Man you can’t get No pardon running ya mouth like that! LOL Get Out of here,” 50 captioned his IG post on Monday.
Trump previously said he was disappointed by Combs’ comments, since the two men were once good friends.
“I was very friendly with him, I got along with him great and he seemed like a nice guy. I didn’t know him well. But when I ran for office, he was very hostile,” Trump said.
In May, Trump said he would “look at the facts” for a potential pardon for Combs, but he said Combs’ past comments would make pardoning him “more difficult to do.”
Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, asked the judge to send his client to Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey, where his legal team will have access to him.
The prison is located on the Fort Dix Army base.
In addition to his prison sentence, Judge Arun Subramanian fined Combs $500,000 to defray the costs of imprisonment.
