The president previously said it would be "difficult" to pardon Sean Combs due to the "terrible statements" the rapper made about him in the past

NBC News, citing sources, reports Tuesday night that Sean Combs, known as “Diddy,” has reached out to President Donald Trump for a pardon. The rap mogul has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fueled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them.

Sean "Diddy" Combs was convicted on two counts of interstate prostitution last month and faces up to 20 years in prison.
