Key Points:
- Diddy’s sentencing has been scheduled for October 3, 2025
- He was found guilty of transporting male prostitutes across state lines
- He remains in jail, and his time served will count toward his sentence
Diddy Awaits October Sentencing in Federal Prostitution Case
American music icon Sean “Diddy” Combs is now counting down the days to his sentencing. A federal judge has locked in October 3, 2025, as the date when Diddy will learn how long he’ll spend behind bars.
Judge Arun Subramanian, who oversaw the case, officially confirmed the date this week. This matches the same date the judge had suggested shortly after Diddy was found guilty.

What Was Diddy Convicted For?
Just last week, Diddy was convicted on two federal charges of transporting male prostitutes across state lines for sex. The case drew massive media attention due to the high-profile nature of the accused.
Since the verdict, the rapper and entrepreneur has stayed in jail. By the time sentencing comes, he’ll have spent over a year in custody, and that time will count as part of whatever sentence he receives.
How Much Time Could He Face?
Diddy is looking at a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison — 10 years for each charge. But according to experts, it’s not likely he’ll get the full time.
His defence team argues that the sentencing should start at 21 months. But prosecutors are pushing for a tougher range, saying 51 months should be the starting point.
So, what happens next? It’s all in the judge’s hands now. Judge Subramanian will have to decide which side’s argument holds more weight before handing out the final sentence in October.
What This Means for Diddy’s Future
This federal case has cast a big shadow over Diddy’s legacy in music and business. His long-running empire is now at a standstill as he waits behind bars.
With sentencing still months away, fans, critics, and the entire entertainment industry will be watching closely. October 3 might just mark a huge turning point in the star’s life.
