Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sentenced to 50 months in federal prison after being found guilty in July 2025 on two counts under the Mann Act for transporting people to engage in prostitution.
The sentence was handed down on October 3, 2025, by Judge Arun Subramanian in Manhattan federal court.
Diddy will also serve five years of supervised release and pay a $500,000 fine. He will receive credit for the 13 months he has already spent in custody since his arrest in September 2024.
Prosecutors had asked for more than 11 years in prison, citing a pattern of coercion and violence.
The defense requested about 14 months, pointing to his struggles with substance abuse. Judge Subramanian said the evidence required a meaningful consequence despite Combs’s accomplishments.
In court, Combs apologized to those he harmed, including Cassie Ventura and another woman identified as Jane, admitting to abuse and describing his past conduct as “shameful.” His children also appealed for leniency.
Combs was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges but convicted on the prostitution-related counts.
He will remain at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and plans to appeal the conviction.
