AceShowbiz - Diddy has once again been excluded from the latest presidential pardon list announced by former President Donald Trump, dashing the music mogul’s hopes for early clemency.

On Friday afternoon, Trump revealed his newest round of clemency decisions, which notably omitted Diddy. Despite weeks of speculation and behind-the-scenes discussions, the former president chose not to grant a pardon to the artist, according to reports from CBS News.

Instead, Trump’s clemency focus was directed toward six individuals convicted of emissions violations, whom he claimed were unfairly targeted by the Biden administration for "fixing their car."

Leading up to the announcement, Trump had been privately considering Diddy’s case, meeting with advisers on Friday to finalize his decisions. While neither Diddy nor other prominent inmates seeking pardons were expected to be included, the ultimate choice rested with Trump himself.

The White House reiterated that "President Trump is the ultimate decider on any clemency related actions," leaving room for uncertainty until the official announcement. However, when Trump posted his list on Truth Social, Diddy’s name was absent, marking the second time the former president has declined his pardon request.

Earlier this year, in January, Trump disclosed that Diddy had sent him a handwritten letter appealing for clemency. After reading it, Trump decided against granting the pardon.

Although discussions reportedly continued privately, Trump ultimately proceeded without offering clemency to the music mogul. Diddy’s prison sentence is scheduled to conclude in February 2028, meaning he will serve the entirety of his term unless circumstances change.

Other notable figures who sought pardons were also left without relief. This includes Grammy-winning rapper Pras Michel of The Fugees, who is serving a 14-year sentence for foreign lobbying conspiracy linked to Malaysian financier Jho Low.
