Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sentenced to four years and two months in prison, plus a $500,000 fine, after being convicted on prostitution-related charges.
The 55-year-old was found guilty under the Mann Act for transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution. Judge Arun Subramanian rejected pleas for leniency, saying: “The evidence of the abuse is massive.”
While prosecutors sought more than 11 years, the judge imposed a 50-month term, followed by five years of supervised release. Diddy has already served 13 months and is expected to spend roughly three more years behind bars.
He has vowed to appeal, but the case continues to spark attention as over 50 civil lawsuits still await him. “A history of good works can’t wash away the record in this case,” the judge said.
This ruling marks a dramatic fall for one of hip-hop’s biggest names—and leaves lingering questions about power, abuse, and accountability.
