Sean 'Diddy' Combs seeks release after ‘heinous’ conviction

Published: Jul 30 2025

Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal representatives have firmly stood their ground in the ongoing legal saga, passionately appealing to the jury to contemplate his liberty pending sentencing. This iconic rapper, who has been confined to a cell since September 2024, was recently convicted of his entanglement in prostitution-linked enterprises. Diddy's legal advocates have submitted a heartfelt plea to the federal judge, requesting his release prior to the sentencing hearing scheduled in October 2025.

They vigorously contended that individuals who have committed comparable offenses have not faced similar incarceration, highlighting that Diddy has already served nearly ten months behind bars. Combs' legal counsel emphasized, "Sean Combs' detention for such conduct is unjustifiable. Indeed, he might be the sole individual currently incarcerated in the United States for engaging as a client in prostitution. Meanwhile, all other parties involved in these identical activities—his girlfriends, the prostitutes, the agency heads, porn stars, and other accomplices—remain at liberty, as their circumstances dictate."

They further proposed that, should the court grant their petition, the rapper would diligently adhere to the stipulated conditions, which encompass a $50 million bail bond and stringent travel restrictions, ensuring his cooperation and respect for the judicial process.
