Judge Sentences Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to 50 Months in Federal Prison

Prosecutors argued for more than 11 years, citing booked Miami speaking gigs as evidence of hubris.

Overview

  • Judge Arun Subramanian imposed a 50-month term, a $500,000 fine, and mandated mental health and substance-abuse programs, with roughly a year credited as time served.
  • Prosecutor Mary Slavick told the Manhattan court that CombsMiami speaking plans showed he had not fully grappled with his conduct.
  • Defense lawyers sought 14 months as Combs’ six children delivered emotional pleas for leniency, including testimony from Christian “King” Combs.
  • 50 Cent mocked Combs’ outcome on X and Instagram, offering to take his speaking slot and sharing a satirical “letter to the judge” about public safety.
  • Combs was convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted on racketeering and sex-trafficking charges, with lawyers due back in court Monday to address where he will serve his sentence.
