Suge Knight
, the former CEO of
Death Row Records
and one of Diddy’s party members, as mentioned by Cassie Ventura, suggested that Diddy might get a pardon as he owes government favours.
P. Diddy will be 'alright'
In an interview with NewNation’s CUOMO, Knight said, “I still feel that Puffy’s gonna be all right and have a fair shot at it, because Puffy didn’t — he’s not a dummy.” Additionally, the 60-year-old said that someone might influence the jurors of the ongoing trial, because all you need is one juror to talk with. “So, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a real exciting situation, but I think he’s going to be alright,” the former record executive added.
"Trump’s going to pardon him"
Suge said that the hip-hop music mogul has ‘influence’ and it does not seem like the prosecution is that bad against him. Furthermore, he said that the government owes him a lot of favours.
“I think he got some favours with the government. I think they’re going to show him a little leeway. It might not seem like it when it’s all said and done, but I don’t think he had nothing to worry about,” Suge said before adding, “I don’t think he’s worried, because he’s going to be federal. And if he gets convicted, Trump’s going to pardon him,” according to Y! Entertainment. Cuomo asked him whether President Donald J. Trump would pardon the disgraced musician even if he were convicted of sex trafficking. “S‑‑‑, he pardoned Michael Harris,” referring to a music executive who was sentenced in 1987 for crack dealing, kidnapping, and attempted murder. He received clemency in 2021 with the help of Trump and even promoted Trump for the presidency in 2024. “They don’t care about that. It’s all about, you know, what’s in it for the long run,” Knight added.
