American music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sentenced to 50 months in prison after being found guilty of transporting individuals for sexual encounters.
The sentence was handed down by a federal judge in Manhattan on October 3, 2025. In addition to the prison term, Diddy was fined $500,000 and will serve five years of supervised release after completing his sentence.
During the court hearing, Diddy apologised for his actions, calling them “disgusting and shameful,” and expressed remorse to the victims.
He was convicted in July 2025 under the Mann Act, but was cleared of more serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering.
Diddy's lawyers have said they plan to appeal the ruling, arguing that the judge considered evidence from charges he was acquitted of.
The rapper and producer has already spent about a year in custody and could serve roughly three more years in prison.
The case marks a major fall from grace for one of hip-hop's biggest figures, once known for his business empire and chart-topping hits.
