Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal troubles took a significant turn last week when he was sentenced to four years in prison. While he’s expected to begin serving his sentence, his lawyers are preparing to appeal the decision. There’s also been speculation about a possible pardon from President Donald Trump, though it’s currently unknown if one will be granted. Many are now trying to predict whether he’ll receive clemency.
What Are The Current Odds Of Diddy Receiving A Pardon By The End Of The Year?
Sean Combs’ lawyers have given mixed signals about whether they’ll ask the President for a pardon. The President, in turn, has also expressed uncertainty about getting involved. It’s unclear if these developments are influencing betting on the possibility of a pardon, but you can see the latest odds from BetOnline in the chart below.
- Yes: 50/1 (+5000)
It seems people are willing to bet on just about anything these days. However, current betting patterns suggest many believe the artist known as “Show Me Your Soul” will likely receive a pardon soon. If that happens, it wouldn’t be the first time this year the President has granted clemency to someone well-known.
Earlier this year, President Trump granted pardons to several individuals, including reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley. However, his statements over the last few months make it hard to know what actions he might take in the future.
Donald Trump Made Comments About The Possibility Of Pardoning Diddy

O.J. Simpson’s lawyer reacted strongly to Diddy’s recent sentencing, calling it an incredibly foolish decision.
Back in June, the President was questioned about the legal issues facing Diddy, while the rapper’s sex-trafficking case was ongoing. Trump stated he wasn’t closely following the case but would “look into what’s happening.” Around the same time, 50 Cent publicly pledged to do everything he could to prevent the President from pardoning Diddy, whom he has criticized repeatedly.
Donald Trump recently revisited his relationship with Sean Combs, recalling their past friendliness. They moved in similar high-society circles in New York and, according to Trump, got along well. However, Trump also noted that Combs made negative comments about him during his presidential campaign. When initially asked about a potential pardon for Combs, Trump seemed opposed. This week, though, Trump revealed that Combs had actually requested a pardon, and shared his thoughts on the matter (as reported by ABC News).
I’ll take a look at it. I will speak to the Justice Department.
Sean “Diddy” Combs received a complicated verdict in his recent sex-trafficking trial. He was found not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking charges, but convicted of violating the Mann Act for transporting individuals for the purpose of prostitution. He is currently in jail in Brooklyn. Reports indicate Combs is seeking release, and a pardon from President Trump could make that possible. Now, those hoping for his release, like many others, will have to wait and see what the President decides.
