Attorneys representing Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, a former cellmate of Sam Bankman-Fried, officially submitted a notice of appeal on Monday, aiming to challenge his lengthy prison sentence.
Diddy Seeks to Challenge His 4-Year Prison Sentence
As per a court filing dated October 20 in New York federal court, Combs intends to contest two prostitution-related convictions from July.
Combs, who received a 50-month prison sentence for these charges earlier this month, was also found not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking allegations.
The rapper-turned-business mogul has been mandated to pay a $500,000 fine and undergo five years of supervised release.
Currently, Combs is incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in New York City, where he previously shared a prison block with former crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried.
Sources informed NBC News in a September 2024 report that both Bankman-Fried and Combs were placed in a “barrack-style area” accommodating no more than 20 inmates who may have needed “special detention” due to their high-profile nature.
The facility is notorious for its harsh conditions and increased violence, particularly concerning stabbings.
