Sean “Diddy” Combs is approaching Donald Trump looking for a presidential pardon, according to a Rolling Stone report.
The move was confirmed by multiple sources.
“He’s willing to do anything to get out of jail,” a source who has known Combs for a decade told the outlet. “He’s always been this way. He’s always going to do what he has to do to get out of a situation.”
“He doesn’t even like [President] Donald Trump,” they add.
According to the outlet, “The sources describe the conversations as ongoing and preliminary.” One source called the conversations as Diddy World, “making connections with the Trump team.”
Rolling Stone made clear, “There’s no evidence that Trump is personally aware of any of these conversations, and the president has not publicly weighed in on Combs’ criminal charges or prosecution.”
In 2012, Trump called Diddy his “friend” on an episode of “Celebrity Apprentice.” “I love Diddy,” Trump said. “You know he’s a good friend of mine; he’s a good guy.”

Representatives of Combs and the White House did not return Rolling Stone’s requests for comment.
Comb, 55, is currently on trial for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, and fraud.
His trial began earlier this week, and the prosecution alleges Diddy “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”
Combs turned down a plea deal. If convicted, he faces 15 years to life in prison.
Part of this conduct includes “elaborate and produced sex performances” known as “freak offs.”
Combs has denied the allegations.
