As Diddy goes down, 50 Cent can’t help but add to the drama.
In a twist of fate yesterday (October 3), the once-untouchable rap icon Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was sentenced to a hefty 50 months behind bars for his involvement in prostitution crimes. His legal team, perhaps suffering from a touch of misplaced optimism, had requested the judge, Arun Subramanian, to grant him ‘time served.’ Diddy had even gone so far as to schedule public appearances for the coming week. Clearly, denial is not just a river in Egypt; it’s a strategy for some.
However, the judge, citing Diddy’s violent past and the ‘irreparable harm’ inflicted on his victims, decided otherwise. The verdict was unambiguous: more than four years in prison.
According to the Daily Mail, “Judge Arun Subramanian delivered the sentence in a Manhattan courtroom, also imposing a fine of $500,000. Following his term, Combs will endure another five years of supervised release.”
In the wake of this public humiliation, Cassie Ventura, Diddy’s most notable accuser, spoke out via her attorney, Douglas Wigdor. He emphasized that the trial’s progress was largely due to Cassie’s courage in bringing forth her civil suit in 2023, which sparked the criminal investigation.
“Although the jury didn’t categorically find Combs guilty of sex trafficking Cassie, she played a vital role in ensuring he was convicted for transportation with the intent to engage in prostitution,” Wigdor stated. “Cassie’s bravery has significantly impacted the entertainment world and the broader quest for justice. It’s crucial to emphasize our unwavering support for our client who demonstrated remarkable fortitude throughout this case. Her actions have illuminated the persistent misconduct of powerful figures and the silence that has long shielded them.”
Meanwhile, in typical 50 Cent fashion, the rapper seized the moment to mercilessly mock Diddy on social media. Perhaps as a form of catharsis for their longstanding feud, he took to X to declare:
“To whoever was booking Diddy for speaking engagements, I heard he won’t be able to make it. I’m available!” accompanied by a laughing emoji.

50 Cent further upped the ante just before sentencing with another post to the judge assigned to Combs’ case:
“I’ve had a long-standing conflict with Puffy for over 20 years. He’s very dangerous. I’ve feared for my life on multiple occasions,” — this from a man who boasts of surviving nine gunshots in 2000. He seemed to conclude on an oddly humorous note: “Diddy’s only going to return to hiring more male sex workers and keeping most of the baby oil away from the general public. And babies need it!”
