American rapper and producer Sean Combs, known as Diddy (also referred to as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy), seems to have decided to waste no time and immediately reached for the top in seeking a presidential pardon.
According to TMZ, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the artist had asked him for the pardon in person. During his talks with reporters, the president noted:
«I call him Puff Daddy; he has asked me for a pardon,» TMZ cited Trump as saying.
Combs’ team contacted the White House almost immediately after the court delivered the verdict. Sources claim that the request was delivered by someone close to the artist who has direct access to the administration.
Trump has not yet clarified whether he is ready to consider the request.
Combs was convicted on Oct. 3 and sentenced to four years and two months in prison on charges related to involving women in prostitution.
