Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced to 50 months — four years and two months — in prison for his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The rapper’s highly publicized trial shocked the nation as some of Diddy’s ex-girlfriends, including Cassie Ventura, provided graphic and emotional testimony about his abuse. However, there is a slim chance that Combs could be granted a pardon by Donald Trump if the president agrees.

One member from Combs’ defense team previously told CNN that a person from his camp contacted the White House regarding a possible pardon. “It’s my understanding that we’ve reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon,” attorney Nicole Westmoreland said.

How Long Is Diddy in Jail for?

Will Trump Pardon Diddy?

At the time of publication, there is no guarantee that Combs will be pardoned by the president. However, Trump told reporters on October 6, 2025, that he could “look into” the possibility of pardoning both Combs and Ghislaine Maxwell.

“You know, I haven’t heard the name in so long,” Trump said about Maxwell. “I can say this, that I’d have to take a look at it. I would have to take a look. … I’ll look at it … a lot of people have asked me for pardons.” The Republican then noted that “Puff Daddy” had requested a pardon as well.

During a previous interview with Newsmax, Trump said he was not likely to pardon the rapper.

“I was very friendly with him,” Trump said, before adding, “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.”
