About this episode
Hip hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs was due to be sentenced for two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution in a New York court on Friday (that's yesterday in our time zone).
Crowds began queuing and setting up camp more than 24 hours beforehand to secure a coveted spot to watch the sentencing live in the courtroom. Meanwhile, Diddy made a last-minute plea for mercy in a letter to the judge, claiming he was "sincerely sorry".
To get you across the case, today's bonus episode is Natarsha Belling's interview with music industry expert, Associate Professor Catherine Strong from RMIT University, after the verdict was delivered in July.
