Diddy has taken ownership of his actions, expressing remorse for the pain he has inflicted on others during his recent court proceedings.
The music mogul submitted a four-page letter to the judge on Thursday prior to his sentencing hearing for Friday, where he began with an apology and reflected on the past two challenging years, stating that he holds himself accountable for his current situation.
Diddy reflects on the lessons learned from his time in incarceration over the past year, crediting his pain as a crucial teacher and admitting that his downfall stemmed from his own selfishness.

In the letter, he addresses the video where he assaulted Cassie, acknowledging he was “dead wrong” for physically harming someone he loved and contemplating whether he could forgive someone for doing the same to his daughters.
Diddy further discusses his personal growth during his prison time, noting he is now sober for the first time in 25 years. He pleads with the judge for leniency, expressing his desire to be a better father and caretaker for his recently operated-on 84-year-old mother.
Diddy speaks out about the appalling conditions he faced in MDC Brooklyn, emphasizing he doesn’t seek pity but is genuinely fearful for his life, and he insists that his incarceration has made a significant impact on him.
Concluding his letter, Diddy requests the judge’s mercy as he seeks another opportunity to be a devoted son, father, and community figure while aspiring to live a more fulfilling life.

As a reminder, Diddy’s hearing begins at 10 AM ET tomorrow morning. Prosecutors are pushing for a harsh sentence of 11 years, while Diddy is advocating for a sentence closer to 14 months, accounting for the 12-plus months he’s already spent behind bars.
Diddy’s heartfelt letter clearly resonates with emotion, but only time will reveal if it will be sufficient to convince the judge to grant him the lighter sentence he seeks.
