Inmates give Diddy a warm reception with a standing ovation
Sean 'Diddy' Combs, the renowned music mogul, has been acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges by a jury, but will remain in federal custody until his sentencing hearing on October 3, 2025. The sentencing hearing will determine the final sentence he receives.
Following his courtroom triumph, Combs received a standing ovation from his fellow inmates at a Brooklyn detention center, with some reportedly cheering him on for "beating" a high-profile federal case. However, his request for release on a $1 million bond was denied by authorities.
Marc Agnifilo, Combs' attorney, confirmed this information in an interview with The Associated Press, stating that the inmates at the detention center said they never get to see anyone who beats the government. The defense team has proposed a reduced sentence for Combs, but prosecutor Maurene Comey intends to seek a maximum 20-year sentence.
The government is pursuing charges of transportation to engage in prostitution against Combs. The defense team has requested a remote hearing on July 8, 2025, to discuss the sentencing schedule, with both prosecution and defense aiming for an expedited sentencing process.
The sentencing hearing, scheduled for 10 a.m. ET on October 3, 2025, will be a crucial moment for Combs, who has been ordered to remain in federal custody until then. The disgraced music mogul is currently serving time at a Brooklyn detention center following his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
