🧵 [Update] Diddy Found Guilty on Two Charges, Cleared on Others – Here’s What We Know

Hey everyone,

Big update from the U.S. courts — music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been found guilty on two federal charges and not guilty on three others in a high-profile trial that’s been grabbing headlines for months.

Here’s a quick breakdown for anyone who’s been following the case:

✅ What Diddy Was Found Guilty Of:
He was convicted of two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution — one involving Cassie Ventura (his ex-girlfriend) and another involving a woman identified only as “Jane.”

This charge falls under the old Mann Act, which bans taking people across state lines for illegal sexual activity. In court, both women testified about being coerced into “freak-off” sex parties where escorts were hired and Diddy watched or recorded.

❌ What He Was Cleared Of:
Racketeering conspiracy (the most serious charge)
Two counts of sex trafficking
The racketeering charge needed the prosecution to prove that Diddy used a network of associates (like employees) to run a long-term criminal enterprise. But the defence argued no witness could say the employees knowingly helped or even witnessed anything illegal.

His lawyers went hard on that point, and apparently it worked — the jury wasn’t convinced.

🔒 Jail Time? What’s Next?
Each transportation charge carries a maximum of 10 years
Since he was convicted on two counts, he could face up to 20 years in prison
Prosecutors want him to serve the full 20 years
He’s currently in jail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center
The judge denied bail, calling him a “serious flight risk”
🗓️ A tentative sentencing date has been set for October 3, 2025, but the schedule will be discussed again on July 8

⚠️ Ongoing Allegations
Aside from this criminal case, Diddy is facing dozens of civil lawsuits across the U.S. — over 100 men and women have either filed or said they plan to file. Claims include rape, assault, and abuse going back to the 1990s.

One big moment that resurfaced this year: CCTV footage from 2016 leaked showing him kicking Cassie in a hotel hallway. He later apologized, saying he was “disgusted with himself.”

🧑‍⚖️ Quick Jury Facts:
Jurors were screened on their views about hip hop, sexual assault, and race
Some big names came up on the witness list: Kanye West, Kid Cudi, etc.
The judge stressed the importance of a neutral, unbiased jury

🎧 A Quick Look Back at His Career:
Known as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Love, etc.
Launched artists like Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans, 112, and more
Founded Bad Boy Records
Major business deals, including Cîroc vodka
Grammy-nominated again in 2023 for his album The Love Album: Off the Grid

What do you all think about the verdict? Was justice served? And how do you see this impacting the music industry and the legacy of someone like Diddy?
