Diddy is facing fresh allegations on top of his four year prison term

DISGRACED rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs tasked Mike Tyson with giving his pardon letter to US President Donald Trump, The Sun can reveal.

President Trump confirmed last week that Diddy, 56, had asked for a Presidential pardon through a letter but did not say how he received it.

Diddy was jailed for four years in 2025 after being found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Now those close to Iron Man Mike claim he was given the pardon letter by one of Diddy’s inner circle and asked to deliver it by hand.

A source said: “Mike had a meeting with one of Diddy’s closest confidantes and he handed him a letter from Diddy.

“He asked what the letter was and was told it was Diddy asking for a pardon from Trump.

“Mike admitted he was feeling nervous about it, but agreed to take it to the White House when he visited.

“Mike said he had handed the letter to Trump and did exactly what Diddy’s lot had asked of him.

“It wasn’t something he was expecting when he met with them, but Mike did what he was asked.”

The Sun has contacted Mike’s representatives for comment.

The Sun first contacted the White House regarding Mike, 59, taking Diddy’s pardon letter to President Trump on December 9.

An official spokesperson did not deny Mike took the letter, but said that his position had not changed on a pardon for Diddy.

In a statement they said: “Any media reports on a Diddy pardon are not accurate. The President, not anonymous sources, is the final decider on all pardons.”

Last week, President Trump confirmed he had received a letter from Diddy and told the New York Times that he had “asked me for a pardon”.

When asked about the request he said it “came through a letter” and confirmed he was not considering the pardon.

Mike, who was the undisputed world heavyweight champion of the world from 1987 to 1990, previously said he wished Diddy “all the best” in an interview in 2024, prior to him being jailed.

When asked about him, Mike said: “I wish him the best. In life, I wish him the best.”

In the same year, a video of the pair from 1998 went viral on X after it resurfaced online.

The video was taken in that year, when Mike had been banned from boxing after his licence was rescinded when he bit Evander Holyfield during a fight.

The footage, taken on the Keenan Ivory Wayans Show in the US, showed Mike moving Diddy’s hand away from his leg after he appeared to get too close to him.

After Diddy was jailed, his legal team confirmed they were filing an appeal.

During the sentencing Diddy begged the judge for mercy and sobbed in the dock.

At the end of last year, Diddy was informed he was facing fresh sexual assault allegations.

The report was taken in September, from a man who says Combs sexually assaulted him in 2020.

The alleged victim identified himself as music producer Jonathan Hay in social media posts that have since been deleted.

He also said he was one of the John Does who filed a civil lawsuit against Combs in July.
