At a press conference at the press conference at the Department of Labor with Elon Musk on May 30, President Donald Trump answered questions about his previous friendship with Sean Combs (Diddy) and his ability to forgive the "boss" of hip hop.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, President Trump said that up to now, he has not received any request for an amnesty for Diddy.
Mr. Trump shared: "I have not seen or spoken to him for many years. He used to like me a lot, but since I started running for office, that relationship broke down. He didn't tell me about it, but I read some bad information in the media."
After that, Mr. Trump affirmed that he would consider the possibility of pardoning Diddy after following the case and affirmed that the decision was not affected by personal emotions.
"If I feel that someone is being treated unfairly, whether they like me or not, it does not affect my decision," he added.
President Donald Trump's statement became a hot topic in many major US newspapers.
At the same time, the audience also gave many mixed opinions, mostly opposing the pardon of rapper Diddy. The media and the public have questioned whether Diddy will be the next celebrity to be granted a presidential pardon.
In the past, Mr. Trump and Diddy had a relationship. The two attended the Art for Life Gala in 2005, held at Trump's private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, USA.
Diddy also took a photo with President Trump and his wife Melania at a United Nations event in 2008. However, they have not met for many years.
A few days ago, President Trump issued a pardon for Todd and Julie Chrisley - a famous couple on the reality show "Chrisley knows Best". Chrisley and his wife were previously convicted of tax evasion.
Both began serving their sentences in early 2023, with terms until 2032 and 2028. However, they were released on May 28 under an order from the US President.
