Diddy Sentenced to 50 Months in Prison

Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced by a federal judge in Manhattan on Oct. 3 to four years and two months in prison following an emotional hearing where Combs’s attorneys, six of his seven children and the fallen music mogul himself tearfully pleaded with the judge to release him.

Combs’s defense sought a sentence of 14 months for his two prostitution-related convictions (he has already served 13 months), while the prosecution proposed more than 11 years.
