Mike Tyson discusses delivering a letter from Sean 'Diddy' Combs to Trump

Retired boxer Mike Tyson spoke about a letter he delivered to President Trump from Sean 'Diddy' Combs during an interview with Andy Cohen on SiriusXM's 'Andy Cohen Live,' released on October 6, 2026. Tyson, 60, confirmed his friendship with Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, and mentioned that he had spoken to him once while Combs was incarcerated at Fort Dix federal prison in New Jersey. Tyson stated that Diddy requested him to deliver a letter to the president, saying, 'I did what he told me to do,' but did not provide further details about the letter. Tyson's delivery of the letter first gained attention in January 2026 when sources indicated he was asked to personally hand it to Trump. According to these sources, the letter was a pardon request for Diddy. An attorney for Diddy confirmed in August 2025 that they had approached the Trump administration regarding a pardon, but Trump later stated he had no plans to grant the request. The New York Times reported that Trump acknowledged receiving a letter from Diddy asking for a pardon but was not considering it. In October 2026, the White House denied a TMZ report suggesting Trump might release Diddy from prison, stating, 'There is zero truth to the TMZ report.' Diddy was convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution in July 2025 and is serving a 50-month sentence, having been placed in solitary confinement after reports of his lifestyle in prison emerged. The Post reached out to the White House for comment.
