Sean «Diddy» Combs appeared in court Friday for sentencing after his conviction on federal prostitution charges, facing up to 20 years in prison.
Sean «Diddy» Combs appeared in court Friday, months after he was convicted on federal prostitution charges.
The now gray-haired rapper walked into court wearing a white shirt with a cream sweater over it. Diddy hugged all of his lawyers before giving a lengthy handshake to his lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo. The rapper then gestured to his family and put on his glasses.
Diddy is expected to speak in open court before his sentence is handed down. Judge Arun Subramanian approved the disgraced music mogul’s request to wear non-prison clothing for the somber occasion.
Diddy could spend a maximum of 20 years behind bars, 10 years for each count he was convicted of. The prosecution recommended 135 months (just over 11 years) for his sentencing.
Diddy’s family arrived in court ahead of the sentencing. The rapper’s mom, Janice Combs, arrived first around 9:00am ET. His kids Quincy, the twins Jesse and D’Lila, Christian and Justin all arrived around 9:45am.
Ahead of court Friday, Diddy’s legal team released a video to be played in court. The over 11-minute video features the rapper’s family as he pleads for release from prison.
