US President Donald Trump is reportedly considering granting clemency to music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in the coming days as part of a broader round of pardons and clemency measures under review by the White House.

According to reports by CBS News, Trump is expected to issue pardons to several individuals convicted of emissions and clean air related offences, while also weighing clemency requests involving Diddy and other prominent figures. The president is said to be meeting advisers before making a final decision on the recommendations before him.

Among those also reportedly seeking presidential clemency is Prakazrel ‘Pras’ Michel, a member of The Fugees, who is serving a federal prison sentence after his conviction over an illegal foreign lobbying scheme linked to Malaysian financier Jho Low.

Combs stood trial in 2025 over allegations that he abused and coerced three alleged victims, including his former partner, Cassie Ventura. He also faced charges including kidnapping, arson and blackmail.

A jury in New York City returned a split verdict in July 2025, finding him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution while acquitting him of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges.

The founder of Bad Boy Records has also faced multiple civil lawsuits alleging sexual abuse involving more than 100 men and women.

Combs was arrested in Manhattan in September 2024 following an indictment by federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.

Trump had previously ruled out a pardon for Combs earlier this year after receiving a clemency request from the rapper’s legal team. However, the latest reports suggest the possibility remains under active consideration. (AriseNews TV)
