Sean “Diddy” Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put him behind bars for life. The rapper was convicted of lesser prostitution-related offenses and denied bail as he awaits sentencing. The jury of eight men and four women acquitted Combs of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, which carried a mandatory 15 years and a maximum of life.

Outside the lower court in Manhattan, Combs' fans expressed enthusiasm by covering themselves in baby oil, a controversial item referenced during the sex-crimes case. Over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, among other items, were discovered during the raids of Combs' homes in March 2024.

The judge denied Combs’ request to be released on bond while he awaits his sentence, noting that evidence at trial pointed to Combs exhibiting a “yearslong pattern of violence.” 

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian set a July 8 hearing to discuss the sentencing process. Combs, 55, had earlier pleaded not guilty to all five charges against him. He started in the music industry scouting talent and eventually, he went on to found his own label, Bad Boy Records. He has been credited for discovering and grooming musical talents like Usher, The Notorious BIG and Justin Bieber among others.
