Rap Mogul Puff Daddy Faces 50-Month Sentence for Mann Act Conviction

About this episode

Sean Combs, known throughout his career as Puff Daddy, P Diddy, or simply Diddy, is currently facing one of the most challenging periods of his life. The music mogul and Bad Boy Records founder was sentenced on October 3rd to 50 months in prison after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution under the Mann Act. While he was acquitted of more serious charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking that could have resulted in a life sentence, the 55-year-old rapper is now beginning a four-year prison term that has left him and his family reeling.

According to the National Enquirer, Combs is reportedly in total shock and experiencing depression over his sentence. Sources close to him say he genuinely believed he would be released with time served and had even booked speaking engagements for the week after his sentencing hearing. Those plans are now in limbo, along with numerous business deals he had lined up.

The situation has been particularly difficult for his seven children. TMZ reports that his youngest daughter, two-year-old Love, recently spoke to her father by phone from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. During the call, Love told him she missed him, and Combs responded that he missed and loved her very much, promising to see her soon while explaining that daddy would be away for a little while.

Financial concerns are mounting as well. Combs has already spent 15 million dollars on legal fees and faces nearly 70 civil lawsuits. Insiders say he fears coming out of prison completely broke, unable to manage his business ventures while incarcerated.

His last hope may rest with President Trump. Combs' team has reportedly requested a pardon, though the president has not revealed whether he will grant one. Those close to Combs say expecting a pardon is unrealistic, but he continues to cling to that hope as he awaits transfer from the detention center to a federal prison facility.
