U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Sean "Diddy" Combs to 50 months in prison.

This sentence is just over four years, with Combs receiving credit for the 13 months he has already served in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center since September 2024.

This means he will serve approximately three years of his remaining sentence and Combs was also ordered to pay a fine of $500,000 USD.

After his release from prison, Combs will serve five years of supervised release, meaning he will remain under legal supervision.

Judge Subramanian emphasized that this lengthy sentence is necessary as a deterrent and he expressed doubt that Combs would not repeat similar crimes if released early.

The trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs revealed various aspects of Combs' life, including his drug addiction, incidents of domestic violence, and his habit of hosting drug-fueled sex parties.

A jury ultimately found Combs guilty of two counts of transporting people across state lines for the purpose of prostitution in July 2025.

Each count carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

Combs was charged under the Mann Act, a federal law prohibiting the transportation of individuals across state lines for the purpose of prostitution.

However, the jury acquitted Combs of the more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.

During the trial, prosecutors asked for a sentence of more than 11 years in prison, specifically 135 months.

However, Combs' defense team argued for a sentence of no more than 14 months, by arguing that Combs had been "sufficiently punished" for his crimes, given the 13 months he had already served behind bars.

Combs himself did not testify during the trial.

However, he wrote a letter to the judge before sentencing, in which he apologized and took full responsibility for his "past mistakes."

"My actions were disgusting, shameful, and sick," he said. "I got lost in excess, I got lost in my ego."

"I don't have nobody to blame but myself. I know that I've learned my lesson."

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian delivered a strong message, stated that Sean has "abused his power and control over the women with whom he had relationships."

The judge also noted that this sentence was a "difficult time" away from his family, but that Combs would have a life after prison.

Both women had trauma that will last a lifetime, the judge said. "You had the money and the power to keep it going," he said.

"This was subjugation."

Combs' ex-girlfriend, Casandra (Cassie) Ventura, was one of the key witnesses testifying against Combs.

She asked the judge to consider "fairness and accountability" when sentencing, stating that she still feared Combs' "malice" and potential retaliation.

Judge Subramanian also delivered a message of support to the victims, including Ms. Ventura.

"To Ms. Ventura and the other brave survivors who have come forward, I want to say first: We hear you," he said.
