Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has officially been sentenced to 50 months in federal prison… just over four years… after being found guilty on prostitution-related charges.
Prison Term: 50 months (4 years + 2 months). Time Served: 13 months already credited. Supervised Release: 5 years after prison. Financial Penalty: $500,000 fine. When the judge read the sentence, Combs showed no visible reaction.
Federal prosecutors had pushed for a sentence of over 11 years, arguing that the severity of the crimes demanded a much harsher penalty. However, Combs’ defense team argued for just 14 months, citing his prior time served and other mitigating factors.
The final ruling landed in the middle, locking in more than four years behind bars for the music and business icon.
