Sean “Diddy” Combs plans to challenge his federal conviction and consequent four-year prison term, as informed by his legal representatives to The Post.

The 55-year-old hip-hop mogul was sentenced on Friday to four years and two months, along with a $500,000 fine, after being found guilty of trafficking individuals across state lines for sexual purposes.

Combs successfully warded off the most serious allegations—such as sex trafficking and racketeering—that could have resulted in a life sentence.

Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo stated that the team expects to file a notice of appeal soon, arguing that both the trial and the sentencing were significantly flawed.

Agnifilo remarked, “Both the guidelines and the imposed sentence factored in behaviors he was acquitted of, which we believe constitutes a legal error.”

Having spent approximately a year in custody since his 2024 arrest, Combs could potentially secure his release in about three years, as federal inmates are ineligible for parole.

The conviction stemmed from a sensational trial in Manhattan, revealing alleged years of exploitation, manipulation, and violence. Jurors received disturbing testimonies from multiple women, detailing how Combs coerced them into humiliating “freak-off” sexual sessions driven by substances.

The defense claimed that the prosecution misapplied the Mann Act, a federal law forbidding the transportation of individuals across state lines for prostitution-related activities, labeling consensual practices as criminal.

Currently held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, it remains unclear where Combs will complete his sentence, although a transfer to a low-security facility near his Miami residence is still a possibility.

Even while incarcerated, more allegations have surfaced against Diddy.

On Friday, a new lawsuit submitted in Los Angeles added to the already extensive list of accusations.

Identified only as John Doe, the plaintiff alleged he was drugged at a 2014 after-party organized by Combs in California and subsequently tested positive for HIV, though Combs was not accused of directly assaulting him.

Key witnesses against Combs urged the judge to impose a harsher sentence, voicing concerns for their own safety should he be released.REUTERS

Combs’ lawyers dismissed the new lawsuit as “absurd” in a statement to TMZ, insisting their confidence lies in the eventual revelation of the truth.

Nash accused Combs of a decade-long spectrum of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse while working under him—claims that Combs’ attorney Erica Wolff referred to NBC News as the actions of “another opportunist seeking financial gain from his association with fame.”

The influx of filings has contributed to a staggering legal landscape.

Reportedly, Combs still contends with nearly 70 ongoing civil lawsuits nationwide, which encompass a variety of claims from sexual assault to emotional abuse.

The wave of lawsuits began in 2023 when R&B artist Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs for allegations of rape and abuse, claiming he physically assaulted her and coerced her into violent sexual situations.

This case was settled within hours for $20 million, a development that many attorneys believe empowered additional accusers to step forward.

Numerous others soon followed suit, including previous assistants, producers, and various insiders who assert that Combs manipulated his influence to intimidate and prey on those within his sphere.

While some cases have been dismissed—such as a lawsuit from a woman who withdrew her claims earlier this year—many lawsuits are poised to endure for years, even while Combs remains behind bars.

The escalating number of lawsuits could potentially cost Combs millions in legal fees, adding to an estimated $15 million he has already spent on his federal defense.
