50 Cent to discuss Sean 'Diddy' Combs' pardon with US President Donald Trump: 'I would make sure he is aware...'

Rapper
50 Cent
has revealed plans to speak directly with US President
Donald Trump
regarding the possibility of a presidential pardon for music mogul Sean Diddy Combs, currently facing serious charges in a sex trafficking case.
The In Da Club rapper took to social media over the weekend to share his intentions following Trump's recent remarks in a televised interview, where he said that he would "consider" pardoning Diddy.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, took to his social media handle to post, "Donald doesn't take well to disrespect, and doesn't forget who chooses to go against him. While working tirelessly to make America great again there is no room for distraction.
He would consider pardoning anyone who was being mistreated not Puffy Daddy."
He went on to add, 'He said some really bad things about Trump, it's not ok. I'm gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy.'
The statement quickly circulated online, with some outlets interpreting his remarks as a call for Trump to block a possible pardon for Diddy. However, 50 cent clarified that he simply wants to express his personal views and "inform" the president.

Reposting a headline of an article claiming he 'plans to nuke' the musician's chances of getting pardoned, the rapper retorted, 'I didn't say I would nuke anything, I simply said I would make sure Trump is aware.
'
50 Cent has been openly critical of Diddy in recent months, especially following his arrest in September 2024 as part of an ongoing federal sex trafficking investigation. The case has seen multiple witnesses testify, including a former assistant adding to the mounting allegations.
Despite the charges, Trump hinted he may be open to pardoning Diddy, depending on how the case unfolds. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office this week, 'Nobody's asked, but I know people are thinking about it.' The president added: 'First of all, I'd look at what's happening, and I haven't been watching it too closely…I haven't seen him. I haven't spoken to him in years.'
Besides taking shots at Diddy, 50 Cent has also been taking to his handle to troll rapper Jay-Z for his association with the musician.

According to sources close to the development, the Ajay Devgn led family thriller is all set to go on floors on October 2, 2025.

It's a marathon schedule, spanning 3 months at real locations of Maharashtra, as also the studio set up. Ajay Devgn has already allotted his dates for the film,' revealed a source. The source further confirmed that Drishyam 3 will hit the big screen on October 2, 2026. 'It's a Gandhi Jayanti 2026 release.

Trump Says Spain Has to Pay as NATO Seeks Deal on Spending

NATO allies are pressing Spain to sign on to a stepped-up defense spending target and end a holdout that US President Donald Trump portrayed as unacceptable. Ahead of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit starting Tuesday that Trump is scheduled to attend, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is the only leader who's outright opposed to the proposal to raise outlays to 5% of gross domestic product. 'NATO's going to have to deal with Spain,' Trump told reporters during a trip to his New Jersey golf club on Friday. 'Spain's been a very low payer. I think Spain has to pay what everybody else has to pay.' Ambassadors of NATO member countries held inconclusive talks in Brussels on Friday and are expected to continue into the weekend, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked for anonymity to discuss private consultations. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is negotiating directly with Sanchez, the people said. Others among the alliance's lowest spenders, such as Italy and Belgium, have expressed doubt about the 5% goal and asked for flexibility but eventually came on board. The two-day NATO summit in The Hague begins on Tuesday. While Rutte initially proposed a 2032 target, the latest draft pushes the date back to 2035. His wish to see mandatory yearly increases has also been stripped, which should make the process easier for laggards. NATO's existing target calls for member countries to spend 2% of GDP on defense. Under the new target, 1.5% would go to broader defense-related spending such as cybersecurity as well as infrastructure for moving troops and military equipment. The agreed criteria are broad enough that all allies should be able meet that part of the plan quickly, according to the people. The increase in core defense spending from 2% to 3.5% will be much harder to deliver. What could help bring Spain on board is that NATO will review the equipment and troops it deems necessary in 2029. The price tag attached to its capabilities could be tweaked at that point, potentially providing some breathing room for countries, according to the people. With assistance from Skylar Woodhouse.
