Music Mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs Sentenced to Four Years for Prostitution Offenses

Sean "Diddy" Combs was sentenced to four years and two months in prison after being convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution. The judge emphasized the seriousness of the crimes and the need for a deterrent sentence, also imposing a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release following imprisonment. Combs expressed remorse in court, acknowledging his actions as "disgusting, shameful and sick" and attributing some behavior to drug addiction, while his children pleaded for leniency. Aubrey O'Day, a former group member who accused Diddy of grooming, urged victims to protect themselves and praised Cassie Ventura, Diddy's ex-girlfriend, for her bravery in testifying against him.

The case drew widespread attention, including public reactions such as rapper 50 Cent's mocking comments on social media.
