Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs now sober and humbled, his lawyers tell judge as they ask for lighter sentence

  • Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces sentencing on October 3 for two felony counts of transportation for prostitution following his July conviction in New York federal court.
  • His conviction came after he was found not guilty of the higher-level charges involving racketeering and trafficking, with prosecutors recommending a prison term of four to five years while the defense sought a sentence of no longer than 14 months.
  • Among about 75 letters filed in support, rapper Yung Miami, Combs' former partner for three years, described him as loving, genuine, supportive, and committed to helping others behind the scenes.
  • Miami wrote that Combs "belongs at home, with his family" and praised his influence on her growth and dedication to family, while acknowledging she cannot speak on events before meeting him.
  • The sentencing outcome will affect Combs, who has spent over a year in detention and pursued therapy and anger management, as supporters emphasize his positive community impact and family role.
