Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been sentenced to over four years behind bars for his prostitution conviction.

The music mogul, 55, reportedly hung his head as Judge Arun Subramanian handed down the sentence of 50 months in a Manhattan courtroom on Friday, as Diddy’s weeping family watched on from the gallery.

The judge also slapped him with a fine of $500,000 as he condemned him for his ‘savage’ abuse of his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, saying he was making an example of him because he caused ‘irreperable harm’ to his victims.

‘Deterrence requires a significant sentence’ he said, noting that Diddy held more ‘freak offs’ even after he had been subjected to search warrants and public shaming over his abuse of Ventura.

‘You abused the power and control you had over the lives of women you professed to love dearly,’ the judge said. ‘Why did it go on so long? Because you had the power and resources to keep it going.’

The decision came following a tumultuous sentencing hearing, with the judge deciding at the start of the day he would still consider evidence from s£x trafficking and racketeering charges that he was cleared of back in July.

Prosecutors then told the judge Diddy had arrogantly arranged speaking arrangements for Monday in Miami, suggesting he didn’t believe he was going to spend any more time behind bars at all.

Diddy’s attorney, Nicole Westmoreland, broke down in tears in her argument for a light sentence, claiming he deserved leniency because he was awarded Menswear Designer of the Year by the American Fashion Council in 2004.

‘It wasn’t just about an award, it was about breaking barriers,’ she said, as courtroom reporters said she appeared to start crying.

The sentence delivered on Friday marks a dramatic downfall for the 55-year-old, who was once among the most influential figures in the entertainment industry.
