Taylor Swift released her 12th studio album on October 3, 2025, and Swifties immediately commenced their normal detective work in breaking down all the songs’ lyrics. From her collab with Sabrina Carpenter to other tracks like “Father Figure,” there’s one hit from The Life of A Showgirl that fans are buzzing about: “Cancelled.” Its lyrics point to a story about a friend who was apparently “cancelled” through a scandal, leading fans to assume the song is about Blake Lively and her legal dispute with Justin Baldoni.

Here, Hollywood Life breaks down the lyrics of “Cancelled” and the song’s meaning.

Are Taylor Swift & Blake Lively Still Friends?

The last time that Taylor and Blake were spotted out together was in 2024. Earlier this year, People reported that the actress and the pop singer weren’t speaking and that their friendship “halted.”

Taylor is the godmother of Blake and Ryan Reynolds‘ daughters.

Is ‘Cancelled’ About Blake Lively? Lyrics Explained

Taylor has not confirmed whether she wrote “Cancelled” about Blake, but Swifties think the lyrics point to the Gossip Girl alum.

In the pre-chorus of the track, Taylor asks if a friend “girl bossed” too much, seemingly nodding to a woman who was accused of acting too bossy.

“Did you girlboss too close to the sun? / Did they catch you having far too much fun?” Taylor sings in the pre-chorus. “Come with me, when they see us, they’ll run / Something wicked this way comes.”

In the chorus of the track, Taylor sings, “Good thing I like my friends cancelled / I like ’em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal / Like my whiskey sour / And poison thorny flowers / Welcome to my underworld / Where it gets quite dark / At least you know exactly who your friends are / They’re the ones with matching scars.”

In the past, Taylor has sung about being cancelled herself. Case in point: her hit single “Look What You Made Me Do.”

Is Taylor Swift Part of Blake Lively’s Lawsuit Against Justin Baldoni?

In May 2025, Justin’s legal team subpoenaed Taylor Swift in his lengthy court battle against Blake over their It Ends With Us feud. Despite crafting the song “My Tears Ricochet” for the film, Taylor was not directly involved in the production, her rep said.

“Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history,” the rep said, per People.

Justin’s legal team dropped their subpoena against Taylor shortly thereafter.

Diddy, born Sean Combs, has gone by many names throughout his career—Puff Daddy, Puffy, P. Diddy, and most recently, Love. But to his children, he has always been “Dad.” The “I Need a Girl” artist is the father of seven kids from four different relationships, including his longtime romance with the late Kim Porter, who passed away in 2018.

Over the course of the past year, Diddy has made headlines for far more troubling reasons. He was arrested on September 16, 2024, and later charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporing individuals to engage in prostitution. His trial began in New York on May 5, 2025, and despite the serious nature of the charges, including more than 100 claims since October 2024, with at least 25 involving minors, his children came to court to show their support. They were present when Combs’ verdict was reached in July and during his sentencing hearing that October.

Quincy Taylor Brown

Quincy Taylor Brown is Diddy’s eldest child. He is the biological son of Kim Porter and singer Al B. Sure, and was eventually adopted by Diddy after the rapper began his relationship with Kim when Quincy was just four years old. Diddy and Kim raised Quincy alongside their three other children, and when he turned 16, they threw him a lavish party in Atlanta that was featured on MTV’s My Super Sweet 16.

Quincy is an actor who has appeared in five films. He starred in the hit Fox show Star from 2016 to 2019 and is currently featured in the Starz drama series Power Book III: Raising Kanan, a spinoff of Power. In addition to his acting career, Quincy has released several singles, launched his own production company called FourXample, created a watch line named Chalk by Quincy, and developed a jeans collection in collaboration with Embellish.

Quincy lost his mother, Kim, in 2018 due to complications from pneumonia, and since then, he has been open about his grief following her tragic death. In March 2021, Quincy honored his mother for Women’s History Month and told PEOPLE, “She definitely was and still is the most important woman in my life. Any time something comes across my way and I think of her first, that means something, and this is one of those no-brainers. She’s had that much of an impact on me to where I can talk about her every day for the rest of my life.”

Justin Combs

Diddy’s eldest biological child, Justin Dior Combs, was born in 1993 to designer Misa Hilton-Brim. Justin attended UCLA on a football scholarship and played quarterback while studying Sociology. Justin is know for his affluent lifestyle, which he documents on his Instagram page that has racked up over 1.7 million followers.

Justin has been featured on reality television a few times, including on Nick Cannon‘s Wild ‘N Out, My Super Sweet 16, Hip Hop Square and Catfish. He’s been romantically linked to a few famous women in the past, such as Saweetie, Lori Harvey, Chantel Jeffries and India Westbrook, but the current status of Justin’s dating life is unclear. In June 2023, Justin was arrested after he failed a sobriety test after running a red light in Beverly Hills. He was reportedly released on a $5,000 bail.

Christian Combs

Christian Combs is the son of Diddy and Kim. Christian is a model and raps under the stage name King Combs. At age 16, he signed a record deal with Bad Boy Entertainment, which was founded by Diddy, and five years later he released his first EP, CYNCerely C3. In 2018, he dropped the hit song “Love You Better” which featured Chris Brown. Christian has nearly 2.5 million followers on Instagram, where he typically documents his music endeavors and modeling gigs. He was previously in a relationship with model Breah Hicks, but they reportedly split in April 2021 after six years of dating.

Chance Combs

Chance Combs is Diddy’s only child with his longtime associate, Sarah Chapman. Chance was born in July 2006, just five months before Diddy welcomed his twin daughters with Kim. Like her siblings, Chance has taken up modeling, and even recently appeared in the September 2021 issue of Vanity Fair with her father and twin sisters. Chance seems to have a very close bond with her sisters, as the three girls are constantly documenting their outings together on their social media pages. She’s also close with mom Sarah, as proven in Chance’s Mother’s Day tribute she shared to her parent back in May 2021.

D’Lila & Jessie Combs

Diddy and Kim’s youngest children, twins D’Lila Star and Jessie James Combs, were born in December 2006. Their mother sadly died when they were only 11 years old, and since then they’ve been raised by Diddy alongside their siblings. As mentioned before, the identical twins are very close to their sister Chance. And in typical Gen. Z fashion, D’Lila and Jessie are also extremely active on TikTok, where they boast over 37,000 followers on their joint account.

D’Lila and Jessie also have a lot of love for their dad. For Diddy’s 51st birthday in November 2020, the twins posted an amazing throwback photo as tribute on Instagram. “Happy birthday Daddy! We love you so so sooo much! Thank you for being a real king and raising us to be true queens!” they wrote.

Love Sean Combs

Diddy revealed to the world that he welcomed a baby girl in December 2022. “I’m so blessed to welcome my baby girl Love Sean Combs to the world,” he tweeted, sharing her name. “Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest!” he added. Love’s birth certificated was revealed on December 12, and it states that Love’s mother is a woman named Dana Tran.

On December 25, 2022, he shared a first look at little Love alongside his older children on Instagram, as they all wore matching Christmas pajamas. “Merry Christmas from my family to yours! LOVE,” he captioned the pic. Love wore what appeared to be green elf pajamas, while the older siblings and their famous dad wore red and green stripes with Santa hats for the family celebration at home.

Sean “Diddy Combs‘ highly publicized trial came to an end over the summer. Jury deliberations officially began on June 30, 2025, and the verdict was determined on July 2. With a jury of eight men and four women, they decided Combs’ fate against prosecutors, who accused Diddy of racketeering and sex trafficking. Meanwhile, his defense team argued that he did not sex-traffic anyone.

Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura took the stand at the beginning of his trial to deliver a chilling testimony of their former volatile relationship. Among Ventura’s claims were that her ex-boyfriend subjected her and others to “freak offs” and physically and sexually abused her while drugging her.

Now that Combs is facing his sentencing, find out what he was convicted of below.

What Was Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs on Trial For?

Combs was on trial because he was charged by the federal government with five counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Was the Verdict Announced in Diddy’s Trial?

Deliberations began at around 11:30 a.m. on June 30, according to the New York Post. On July 1, the jury sent a note to the judge at 4:05 p.m. ET, announcing they reached a verdict on some, but not all, of the counts that Diddy was charged with, per CNN.

“We have reached a verdict on counts 2, 3, 4 and 5,” the jury’s note to the judge read, according to CNN. “We are unable to reach a verdict on count 1, as we have jurors with unpersuadable opinions on both sides.”

On July 2, the jury entered their third day of deliberations, and they were able to reach a verdict. Combs was found not guilty on count 1, racketeering conspiracy; not guilty on count 2, the sex trafficking of Ventura, guilty of count 3, the Mann Act transpiration of Ventura, not guilty of count 4, the sex trafficking of another former girlfriend and guilty of count 5, the Mann Act transportation of the unnamed girlfriend.

What Happens to Sean Combs for the Guilty Counts?

If Combs was found guilty on just one of the racketeering or sex trafficking charges, he would have faced up to life behind bars, according to multiple outlets. However, since he was only found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, he may not face up to life behind bars. According to Fox News, a charge of transportation to engage in prostitution could carry a sentence of about a decade.

Combs’ sentencing hearing is taking place on October 3, 2025.

How the Trial Could Impact Diddy’s Businesses

The founder of Bad Boy Records could see a severe decline for his businesses. As the boss of Combs Global (formerly known as Combs Enterprises), Diddy’s reputation affects his entire brand. While his net worth is still around $400 million, he could see that decrease if he’s found guilty on any charges.

Was Diddy’s Trial on TV?

No, Combs’ trial was not televised. Only those who were allowed in the courtroom have been able to view the case unfold.

5 Things About Diddy’s Son – Hollywood Life

Sean “Diddy” Combs has become a central figure in the news amid his high-profile federal trial on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering. The trial began on May 12, 2025, in Manhattan and drew widespread attention, with testimonies from multiple accusers, including singer Cassie Ventura. Diddy pleaded not guilty to all charges but was convicted of two of them — transportation to engage prostitution — and faces sentencing on October 3, 2025.

The spotlight has also turned to Diddy’s children, particularly Justin Dior Combs. The son of Diddy and designer Misa Hilton-Brim has been seen attending court proceedings alongside his siblings in support of their father. Outside of those appearances, Justin has kept a low public profile in recent months.

Here’s a closer look at Justin—one of Diddy’s seven kids.

Justin Was Facing a $190,000 Lawsuit

According to In Touch Weekly, court documents indicated that Porsche Leasing LTD served Justin with a lawsuit demanding payment of $190,226.25 on June 11, 2024. The suit was reportedly served at Diddy’s mansion in Beverly Hills, California.

In response to the lawsuit, Justin’s attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, stated, “Due to an address change, Justin did not receive his bill, which resulted in unintentionally missed payments. We are in touch with the creditor, and the matter is being settled. The outstanding balance will be paid, and the lawsuit will be dropped.”

Justin Attended UCLA

Justin attended the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology. He also played as a defensive back for the UCLA Bruins football team on a scholarship worth $54,000, which created some controversy in 2012 due to his family’s wealth.

When Justin committed to the university, his father shared in a statement released by DKC Public Relations, “As a parent, today is one of the proudest moments of my life. This is everything a father could want for his son, for him to excel at what he loves to do and is truly passionate about. Justin is a shining example of what hard work, determination and a strong mentality can achieve. I am honored to call him my son and am happy that he is fulfilling his dream.”

In 2016, Justin graduated from UCLA, becoming the first member of the Combs family to graduate college. “First Combs male to graduate from college… All praise to God & my parents!” he wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of himself in his cap and gown while posing with family, including Misa and Diddy.

Justin Was Arrested in 2023

In June 2023, Justin was arrested after failing a sobriety test for running a red light in Beverly Hills. He was reportedly released on a $5,000 bail.

Justin Is Diddy’s First Biological Child

Justin, born in 1993, is Diddy’s eldest biological child. His older brother, Quincy Taylor Brown, is the biological son of Kim Porter and singer Al B. Sure. He was eventually adopted by Diddy after the rapper began his relationship with Kim when Quincy was just four years old.

Justin’s five other siblings include Christian Combs, Chance Combs, twins D’Lila and Jessie Combs, and Love Sean Combs.

Justin Is an Aspiring Actor

After college, Justin ventured into entertainment, much like his brother Quincy. He most notably appeared in season three of Power Book II: Ghost as the character King and hosted the 2021 TV series Respectfully Justin, where he interviewed celebrity guests such as Saweetie, Chris Brown, and others.

Los Angeles, CA - *EXCLUSIVE* - Sean Combs hosted a memorial gathering in memory of his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter where he was surrounded by friends and family after her sudden passing. The music mogul posted a tribute to the mother of his children who passed away suddenly this past week saying, "For the last three days I've been trying to wake up out of this nightmare. But I haven't. I don't know what I'm going to do without you baby. I miss you so much. Today I'm going to pay tribute to you, I'm going to try and find the words to explain our unexplainable relationship. We were more than best friends, we were more than soulmates.

Kim Porter passed away at the age of 47 in 2018, with initial reports citing cardiac arrest, according to TMZ. Nearly two months later, the Los Angeles coroner’s office confirmed that the model and actress had died from pneumonia.

However, the mother of four—sons Quincy Taylor Brown, Christian Combs, and twin daughters D’Lila Star and Jessie James Combs—has recently returned to the spotlight following the arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs, the biological father of three of her children. Diddy was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution in Manhattan on Monday, Sept. 16, 2024, according to a federal indictment. In light of his arrest, producer Chris Todd has published a 60-page book titled Kim’s Lost Words, which claims to be a collection of Porter’s diaries. “This is a dangerous situation, and I didn’t want to claim ownership of Kim’s words. But now I’m willing to come forward because of the recent arrest of Sean Combs,” Todd stated.

Here’s everything you need to know about Porter.

Who Was Kim Porter?

Born in Columbus, Georgia, Kim graduated from high school in 1988 and moved to Atlanta, according to her IMDb bio. In 1991, she had her first child, Quincy, with Al B. Sure. Quincy was named after his godfather, legendary musician and producer Quincy Jones. When Quincy was 3 years old, he was adopted by Diddy after Kim began dating the rapper and Bad Boy Records founder.

Throughout her career, Kim appeared in several films and TV shows, including Single Ladies, The Brothers, and Wicked Wicked Games.

How Was Porter and Diddy’s Relationship?

Kim and Diddy had an on-and-off relationship for years. Though they officially split in 2007, they reunited several times and were even pictured together on a Caribbean getaway in 2010, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Despite their split, Kim and Diddy remained close friends. In a 2007 interview with Essence, Kim explained, “You know how when two people go their separate ways, most of the time there’s animosity? It’s not like that with us. Sean and I have this bond, this friendship. It’s not about ‘if you’re faithful to me, if I’m being faithful to you.’ We’re friends. I’m the person he can tell his innermost thoughts to, and he’s that person for me.”

Combs praised Porter in an E! News interview, saying, “Kim is an incredible mother to our children. We’ve been part of each other’s lives for many years, and I have always admired her courage and strength. We’re the best of friends.”

Top 5 Deep Wrinkle Creams & Fillers That Are Worth A Try – Hollywood Life

by jummy84 October 3, 2025

written by jummy84

Clinical research reveals which formulations deliver measurable results for deep wrinkles and expression lines.

Stubborn, deep-set wrinkles represent a more complex skincare challenge compared to early fine lines or minor surface imperfections. Standard moisturizers and entry-level anti-aging products may address initial signs of aging but may be less effective against established wrinkles that have developed over time.

Deep wrinkles develop through multiple interconnected factors: diminished collagen support, habitual facial muscle movements, and decades of environmental exposure. These entrenched lines require multi-faceted treatment strategies that can simultaneously fill existing creases, relax underlying muscle activity, and stimulate structural repair.

Scientific research has validated several treatment methodologies that produce quantifiable improvements in deep wrinkle appearance. Some approaches may provide immediate smoothing effects through filling technology, while others focus on potential long-term benefits. Some formulations combine both immediate and progressive approaches.

Understanding wrinkle formation may help inform product selection, helping consumers identify treatments that target underlying causes rather than offering only superficial camouflage.

Understanding Deep Wrinkles: Beyond Surface Aging

Deep wrinkles form through distinct mechanisms that require specialized treatment approaches beyond standard anti-aging care.

The collagen connection: Collagen provides skin’s structural foundation, maintaining firmness and elasticity. Skin starts losing collagen from age 25, about 1-1.5% a year7. This structural loss causes skin to collapse into itself, forming the deep creases we recognize as wrinkles (1).

Muscle memory effects: Repeated facial expressions create muscle contractions that, over time, leave permanent impressions in the skin. Areas of frequent movement – around the eyes, mouth, and forehead – develop the deepest expression lines.

Environmental acceleration: UV exposure, pollution, and lifestyle factors accelerate collagen breakdown while reducing the skin’s natural repair capacity, making existing wrinkles deeper and more persistent (2).

Science-Backed Solutions for Stubborn Wrinkles

Research identifies three proven mechanisms for addressing deep wrinkles:

Immediate filling technology: Advanced polymer systems can fill wrinkle indentations on contact, creating smoother surface appearance within minutes. Research on elastomer-based formulations suggests potential improvements in wrinkle appearance (3).

Muscle relaxation: Synthetic peptides that mimic natural muscle-relaxing compounds can reduce the appearance of expression lines. Research on peptides like SYN-AKE demonstrates up to 52% reduction in muscle contractions in treated areas, potentially smoothing existing lines while supporting skin maintenance (4).

Collagen rebuilding: Advanced peptide complexes like Matrixyl 3000 stimulate fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis. The anti-wrinkle efficacy of Matrixyl 3000 has been measured as equivalent to an age gain by 2 years in 1 month, and up to 5.5 years after 2 months (5).

Enhanced penetration systems: Formulations designed for deeper penetration aim to deliver ingredients to skin layers where rebuilding processes may occur

The most effective treatments combine these approaches, potentially providing visible effects while supporting underlying skin structure over time.

Christian “King” Combs is one of Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ six children, and he’s remained supportive of his father during his 2025 sex trafficking trial. Along with his siblings, Christian attended the first day of Diddy’s trial in New York City, where the whole Combs family put on a united front through the end of the trial in July 2025. They also appeared during their father’s sentencing hearing that October.

Below, Hollywood Life has five facts about Christian.

Christian’s Parents are Diddy & Kim Porter

Christian is one of Diddy and Kim Porter‘s children. The former couple had two other kids together, Christian’s twin sisters D’Lila Star and Jessie James, before she died in 2018. To this day, Christian shares memories of him and his mother to Instagram in her honor.

Christian Always Honors Kim Porter

On his Instagram accounts, Christian regularly shares old photos of his mother, Kim, in her memory. Most of his posts are on Mother’s Day and her birthday. Just days before his father’s controversial trial began in New York City, Christian shared a Mother’s Day Instagram post for Kim, which featured a baby photo of himself in his mother’s arms.

“Happy mother’s Day Mommy!!!!” Christian wrote in the caption. “I love you so much words can’t express how much I wish I could call you right now!! Whenever I’m down i know that it’s you picking me up right when I need it !! I Love you, wish I could hug you, kiss you and just talk to you !! I love you so much and I know that you are with me still watching over every step I take and every choice I make I love you mommy!!!!”

Christian Goes by the Name of King Combs

Christian signed to his dad’s Bad Boy records label back in 2016 and has even performed with Diddy over the years. As of 2025, King has released his own music.

Christian Has a Girlfriend Named Raven Tracy

Christian has been dating model and social media star Raven Tracy since 2021. Raven has an Instagram following of more than 2 million people, and she and King occasionally share photos together. In 2024, King included Raven in his music video for “You Ready,” which they both shared with their online followers.

Who Is ‘Father Figure’ About by Taylor Swift? Breakdown of Lyrics – Hollywood Life

Leave it to Taylor Swift to turn us all into poetry experts. Any time the global super star releases a new album, Swifties pull apart the lyrics of her new songs. And with the October 3, 2025, release of The Life of a Showgirl, many are dissecting one track in particular: “Father Figure.”

Hollywood Life breaks down the lyrics of “Father Figure” and its meaning below.

Is Taylor Swift’s ‘Father Figure’ a Remix of the George Michael Song?

No, Taylor’s “Father Figure” is not a new version of George Michael‘s 1987 song of the same name, but hers is an interpolation of his. This means that Taylor included a portion of his composition into her new track.

George’s X team thanked Taylor in a public statement following the release of The Life of a Showgirl.

“We were delighted when Taylor Swift and her team approached us earlier this year about incorporating an interpolation of George Michael’s classic song ‘Father Figure’ into a brand new song of the same title to be featured on her forthcoming album,” George’s X account team tweeted. “When we heard the track, we had no hesitation in agreeing to this association between two great artists and we know George would have felt the same. George Michael Entertainment wishes Taylor every success with The Life of a Showgirl and ‘Father Figure.’”

What Is ‘Father Figure’ About?

According to its lyrics, “Father Figure” is a reflection of someone making Taylor their “protégé” during the early days of her career and expecting her “loyalty.” The track also seemingly includes a few references from The Godfather, with lyrics such as “You’ll be sleeping with the fishes” and “protecting the family” hinting at a mob boss archetype.

Who Is ‘Father Figure’ About?

Taylor doesn’t name any person in particular in “Father Figure,” but Swifties immediately thought about her falling out with Scooter Braun and Big Machine Records executive Scott Borchetta, who made Taylor the first signed artist with Big Machine. Scott met Taylor when she was a 14-year-old country music singer.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Father Figure’ Lyrics

In the chorus of “Father Figure,” Taylor sings from the perspective of a mafia-esque mentor who manipulates her.

“I was your father figure / We drank that brown liquor / You made a deal with this devil, turns out my d**k’s bigger,” she sings. “You want a fight, you found it / I got the place surrounded / You’ll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you’re drownin’ / Whose portrait’s on the mantle? / Who covered up your scandals? / Mistake my kindness for weakness and find your card cancelled / I was your father figure / You pulled the wrong trigger / This empire belongs to me.”

Some fans believe the lyric “empire” indicates Taylor’s successful career and that it “belongs” to the “father figure” who discovered her.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently on trial for sex trafficking-related charges. The record exec and rapper — who also went by the names P. Diddy, Puffy and Puff Daddy over the years of his music career — was indicted in September 2024 after feds commenced an investigation against him. So, how long could he serve time in prison now that he’s been found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy?

Hollywood Life has compiled all the details about Diddy’s possible prison sentence, below.

Did Diddy Get Released From Jail?

No, Diddy was not released from MDC Brooklyn. The judge denied his request for bail, and the music mogul has remained behind bars while awaiting his October 3, 2025, sentencing.

Diddy’s Prison Sentence Details

Diddy will officially be sentenced on October 3, 2025. His trial began on May 12, 2025. Former New York City prosecutor and criminal defense attorney Paul Callan told Us Weekly that a sentence “of 10 to 20 years” was “likely” if Diddy was convicted.

“Given the severity of the charges, a lengthy jail sentence is a virtual certainty if he is convicted,” Callan told the publication in September 2024. “If convicted, he can expect to spend most of his remaining life behind bars. Federal prosecutors generally obtain guilty pleas or convictions after trial in more than 90% of the cases they bring.”

Callan added that prosecutors “presented a strong case to both federal judges that Combs was likely to flee and/or threaten witnesses in the case if released.”

“In such cases, the federal courts will sustain pretrial incarceration,” he added. “The lower court decision can be appealed but I believe a reversal of the lower court order is unlikely.”

Why Was Diddy in Jail?

Diddy is behind bars at MDC Brooklyn because he was indicted for multiple charges related to racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Combs was accused of running a “criminal enterprise” to “facilitate his abuse and exploitation of women” from 2008 to the present. Furthermore, Diddy allegedly “committed crimes including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”

Diddy pleaded not guilty to the charges.

How Long Is Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Jail Sentence?

After being found guilty of transportation for prostitution and not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, Diddy’s prison sentence was not immediately determined, but prosecutors are reportedly hoping he gets at least 11 years behind bars.

Diddy’s sentencing is in the judge’s hands, who could issue the disgraced rapper consecutive sentences for each guilty count, according to Fox5. He could serve a sentence between 10 to 20 years.

When Is Diddy’s Sentencing Hearing?

The judge proposed a sentencing hearing for October 3, 2025, and noted that Combs would be credited for 10 months time served so far, according to CBS News.

What Did They Find in Diddy’s House Raids?

Diddy’s Miami and Los Angeles properties were raided by Homeland Security in mid-2024. Feds seized various items in both homes, including “Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.”
