In July, Diddy’s federal trial concluded after a month of proceedings. The jury found him not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering, but convicted him on two counts of transportation for prostitution. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, meaning the Bad Boy Records founder could be facing up to 20 years in prison. His sentencing is set for October 3.

As the date approaches, several members of Diddy’s inner circle have written to the court pleading for leniency.

Among them is his son Christian “King” Combs, who delivered an emotional letter highlighting the toll his father’s absence has taken on their family.

“I’m asking you to please let my father out of jail! He does not deserve to be there and I know this from the bottom of my heart!! We have been through a year of lies and discrimination and dehumanization and loneliness and separation and extreme stress on the family,” he wrote.

“This is my dad and he is the best father in the whole world. He has never ever taught me anything but to treat people with the most respect possible… and to treat people with love and kindness most importantly!”

Diddy’s ex, Yung Miami, also showed support, describing him as a man who uplifts others rather than a threat to society.

“In my personal experience, Sean is not a danger or a threat to the community. He is a man of God, someone who uplifts, supports, and inspires those around him. But more than anything, he’s a father and his kids are the ones who look up to him the most. They need him,” she shared.

With sentencing only days away, the court will now weigh these pleas against the gravity of the charges as the hip-hop mogul awaits his fate.
