Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in federal prison after a New York jury found him guilty on two counts of transporting women across state lines for prostitution. The racketeering and sex-trafficking charges didn’t stick, but the judge still handed down prison time, a half-million-dollar fine, and five years of supervised release.
Combs has already spent a year behind bars since his 2024 arrest, so that counts toward his sentence—meaning he’s likely facing around three more years in custody. The verdict closes a high-profile trial that pulled back the curtain on the music mogul’s darker side and left his legacy in tatters.
