Prosecutors argue Combs deserves at least 11 years in prison.
NEW YORK -- Rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs was sentenced on Friday to more than four years in prison after a jury found him guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in July.
He gets credit for time served since his arrest. Combs has already spent 12 months at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Before his sentence was handed down, Combs tearfully addressed the court and apologized to victims, his children and other domestic violence survivors and begged the judge for mercy.
Federal prosecutors argued Combs deserved at least 11 years in prison, while Combs' attorneys sought time served. Combs has been in custody since his September 2024 arrest.

Sean "Diddy" Combs was convicted of prostitution-related offenses but acquitted on the most serious charges at his New York trial in July.
The mixed result could still put Combs behind bars for up to a decade.
