50 Cent Says He Will ‘Reach Out’ To Discourage Trump From Pardoning Diddy

Rapper 50 Cent said he would talk to President Donald Trump about the Sean “Diddy” Combs case after Trump did not rule out an executive pardon last week.

The recording artist, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, posted about the situation on his Instagram Reels on Friday. “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,” Jackson wrote, per the New York Post

“Donald doesn’t take well to disrespect, and doesn’t forget who chooses to go against him,” the rapper added in a follow-up.

“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,” Jackson said.

The “In Da Club” rapper also shared a screenshot of an article claiming he was trying to “nuke” Combs’ chances of pardon. “I didn’t say I would nuke anything, I simply said I will make sure Trump is aware,” Jackson wrote in the image caption.

Combs, 55, has been held without bail since his September arrest on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. If convicted, the Bad Boy Records founder could face life in prison.

Trump indicated that a pardon for Combs isn’t off the table during an Oval Office press conference alongside Elon Musk on Friday.

“Nobody’s asked. But I know people are thinking about it. I know they’re thinking about it. I think some people have been very close to asking,” the president said in response to Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

Trump said he hasn’t been following the case closely, but was aware how much attention it was getting in the news.

“I haven’t seen him, I haven’t spoken to him in years,” Trump added of Combs. “He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics … that relationship busted up, from what I read. I don’t know — he didn’t tell me that, but I’d read some little bit nasty statements.”

“I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact on me,” he added.

Male Dominates Girls’ Track At California State Finals Despite Trump Threat

A male athlete named AB Hernandez took home multiple state titles in girls’ track and field over the weekend in California, sparking protests on both sides of the issue after President Donald Trump threatened to cut off federal funding to the state if officials did not block Hernandez from competing.

Hernandez beat all female competitors in the high jump and triple jump, taking two golds. In the long jump, the athlete took the silver medal.

In response to the controversy surrounding Hernandez, the California Interscholastic Federation piloted a new policy at the state tournament to make sure that “any females who finished behind a biological male would be appropriately rewarded a medal based on where they placed among female competitors,” Fox News reported.

Demonstrators expressed themselves over the weekend, with people holding LGBT-themed material or “Save Girls Sports” signs. As highlighted by Fox News, an “LGBTQ protester” was arrested for allegedly attacking a pro-girls sports activist, according to the Clovis Police Department.

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has not commented on Hernandez beating the girls and winning two gold medals over the weekend, though he praised the state tournament policy change as “reasonable” and a “thoughtful approach.” The governor has recently acknowledged that males competing in female sports is “deeply unfair.”

Last week, President Donald Trump called out Newsom for allowing males in girls’ and women’s sports, despite Trump’s executive order to save girls’ sports and federal Title IX rules.

“California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow ‘MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SPORTS,'” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“This week a transitioned Male athlete, at a major event, won ‘everything,’ and is now qualified to compete in the ‘State Finals’ next weekend,” the president added, referring to Hernandez. “As a Male, he was a less than average competitor. As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable. THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS.”

“Please be hereby advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to,” the president said. “The Governor, himself, said it is ‘UNFAIR.’ I will speak to him today to find out which way he wants to go??? In the meantime I am ordering local authorities, if necessary, to not allow the transitioned person to compete in the State Finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation!!”
