Sean Combs, widely known as Puffy or P Diddy, remains at the center of one of the most dramatic ongoing sagas in music and entertainment. As of July 21, 2025, Combs is in federal custody in Brooklyn, awaiting sentencing after a partial jury verdict in his headline-grabbing sex trafficking trial. Combs was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges but was found guilty of two counts related to prostitution. Legal experts, including O.J. Simpson’s former defense lawyer Robert Shapiro, have predicted that Combs could face substantial prison time, estimating a possible range of two and a half to three and a half years, with sentencing set for October 3. The judge’s decision to keep Combs jailed without bail is seen as a sign he’s facing a serious sentence. Combs’ legal team, led by attorney Marc Agnifilo, vows to keep fighting, emphasizing they will not rest until he is a free man again.

The public trial drew intense attention, with harrowing testimony from Cassie Ventura, Combs’ former partner. She described disturbing details about so-called “Freak Off” parties, where she alleged Combs forced her to hire male escorts and participate in drug-fueled sexual encounters, sometimes involving other celebrities. The court also saw footage where Combs physically assaulted Ventura, a point his defense conceded, arguing there was mutual violence.

While all this unfolds, Combs’ business empire continues to make headlines. Despite his legal troubles, his fortune has skyrocketed—reports peg his net worth above a billion dollars, thanks largely to savvy partnerships, especially his longstanding collaboration with Diageo for Cîroc vodka and DeLeón Tequila. Over the past few years alone, his empire reportedly brought in over a billion dollars in revenue, a testament to his influence that goes well beyond music and fashion.

Meanwhile, the feud between Combs and 50 Cent is also back in the news. Over the weekend, 50 Cent posted a new AI-generated video mocking Diddy on Instagram, referencing some of the explicit details from the court case. The video, featuring Diddy walking a runway in an outlandish outfit, highlights how the public conversation around Combs remains fraught, and how closely his case is being watched—and lampooned—across the entertainment world.
