President Donald Trump may be giving Sean “Diddy” Combs a get out of jail free card.
An administration source told Deadline that a pardon for the “Act Bad” rapper is being “seriously considered” after Combs was found guilty of two counts of prostitution.
However, a source told Page Six: “The White House will not confirm or deny pardons that may or may not happen.”
Page Six has reached out to reps for both Trump and Combs for comment but did not immediately hear back.
In May, Trump, 79, first shared that he was willing to potentially pardon Combs amid the rapper’s sex-trafficking trial.
“I would certainly look at the facts if I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me,” the politician said in the Oval Office at the time.
“It wouldn’t have any impact on me,” he added.
Trump then shared details about his personal relationship with the disgraced emcee.
“He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics … that relationship busted up, from what I read,” he said.
“I don’t know — he didn’t tell me that, but I’d read some little bit nasty statements in the paper all of a sudden,” the president added.
On July 2, Combs, 55, was acquitted of his more serious charges in his sex-trafficking trial.
However, the Revolt co-founder was found guilty of two counts of prostitution — each carrying a maximum of 10 years in prison.
During the trial, jurors heard from a range of people, including Combs’ ex Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, who claimed she was raped and abused by the hip-hop mogul.
In one part of her grueling testimony, the “Me & U” singer, 38, claimed Combs forced a male escort to urinate in her mouth during a “Freak-Off” party.
The dad of seven is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, NY, as he awaits his sentencing.
While incarcerated, Combs reportedly enrolled in the STOP Program, a course focused on preventing sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, and is undergoing therapy.
The “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper is still facing dozens of lawsuits from men and women, accusing him of a range of sexual misconduct and other illegal activity. He has denied all wrongdoing.
