Will Trump pardon Diddy? Gene Deal doubts it: "He was going against Donald Trump"

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former bodyguard, Gene Deal, gave an interview on November 16 with The Art of Dialogue, discussing Diddy’s children allegedly being involved in his ‘Freak-Off’ parties, among other topics. Currently, Diddy remains incarcerated as he faces charges related to sex crimes.  

Gene Deal expressed his belief that Diddy is unlikely to receive a pardon in his legal case, which involves accusations of sex trafficking, prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy. 

Deal claimed that Diddy had previously spoken negatively about Donald Trump, making it improbable for Trump to intervene on his behalf. Deal remarked: “He [Diddy] was going at him, so why would he [Trump] help him?”  

Deal also recalled witnessing a past meeting between Combs and Trump. He recounted:  
“I’ve even seen them in a meeting together before. Al Sharpton, Wendy Williams, Puff Daddy and Donald Trump at the Four Season Hotel downtown. And I’m sure he [Trump] was telling him [Combs] because all of this sh*t is planned bro- ‘Yeah you know I’m going to be president one day. I’ma need y’all support.’ But they flipped. You understand what I’m saying?”  

Donald Trump, who has previously pardoned rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black for firearms-related offenses, has not extended pardons to individuals facing charges related to sex crimes.  

Discussing further why Trump would not pardon Diddy, Deal alleged that the music mogul had turned against Trump. Deal said: “Puff wasn’t even f**king with Trump like that no more. He was going against Donald Trump. Donald Trump is as petty as 50 Cent.”  

Deal referenced 50 Cent, one of Diddy’s most vocal critics, who recently announced plans to produce a Netflix docuseries exploring the allegations against Diddy. The rapper shared on X that the series might be titled Diddy Do It, though this has not yet been confirmed.
