Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs’ lawyers asked the judge to give him a reduced sentence on September 22nd. As part of their request, they included a letter from his ex-girlfriend, Yung Miami, who pushed for his release.
Combs is asking for a maximum 14-month sentence after being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. With time served, this would see him released in 2025.
In the filing, the City Girls rapper told Judge Arun Subramanian that Combs is a “good man” based on her time with him.
“My name is Caresha Brownlee. I’m a mother, daughter, sister, and a hip-hop artist who has spent many years in the public eye,” she wrote. “I want to be clear that I cannot speak on or defend anything that may have happened before I met Sean Combs. I do not condone any wrongdoing. I can only speak from my personal experience and the man I’ve come to know over the past four years.”
She continued, “In my personal experience, Sean is not a danger or a threat to the community. He is a man of God, someone who uplifts, supports, and inspires those around him to be better mentally, physically and spiritually. But more than anything, he’s a father, and his kids are the ones who look up to him the most. They need him. His presence, love, and guidance matter deeply in their lives.”
Miami dated Combs between 2001 and 2023, appearing at the Met Gala together a couple of years ago. She later revealed they were “done” but were still “good friends.”
Combs is scheduled to be sentenced on October 3rd. He’s facing a maximum of 20 years behind bars, with the probation department recommending a maximum of seven and a quarter years.
