Sean “Diddy” Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges but convicted on two counts of transporting individuals across state lines for paid sex.

The trial featured disturbing testimony and surveillance footage of Diddy assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie, yet the jury found insufficient evidence of coercion.

Despite the partial acquittal, the judge denied bail due to public safety concerns, meaning Diddy will remain in custody until sentencing on October 3, 2025. The internet has exploded with mixed reactions—some see justice served, others call it a case of power and wealth shielding accountability.

00:00If you were on the internet at all this week, then I know you heard about this man. Yep, after several weeks of Diddy being on trial, after he was charged with engaging in the transportation of prostitution, trafficking, and racketeering, the jury finally came down with a verdict this week.
00:13And to say it set social media on fire would be an understatement. The jury actually came down with a split verdict. They found Diddy guilty on two of the five charges. He was found guilty on engaging in the transportation of prostitution, two counts total, but he was acquitted of the trafficking and racketeering charges.
00:29Now, the reason why a lot of people took to social media to react to this news is because if he would have been found guilty of racketeering or trafficking, Diddy would have had mandatory prison time.
00:37Racketeering comes with an automatic life sentence and trafficking is a minimum of at least 15 years.
00:42Meanwhile, the charges he was found guilty of carry a maximum of 10. However, it's already being reported that Diddy probably won't serve that long.
00:50It's also worth noting that the judge did deny Diddy bail while he awaits sentencing. So for now, he will remain behind bars.
00:56And yeah, let's just say this is one of the biggest stories this week. Now go ahead and let us know all of your Diddy thoughts.
