‘Perversion of justice’: Diddy’s lawyers just filed an appeal
Sean “Diddy” Combs is not going quietly into his prison sentence.
Despite receiving the good news that his release date was pushed up, the fallen rapper’s lawyers filed an appeal on Friday, TMZ reports.
The music mogul was originally set to be sprung June 4, 2028. As per the Bureau of Prisons website, Inmate No: 37452-054 will walk out of FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey on April 25, 2028. The earlier release is reportedly due to his participatin in a drug-abuse rehabilitation program.
But Combs’ team of legal eagles want their client out sooner rather than later, arguing that the sentence on two prostitution-related charges is too harsh, calling it a “perversion of justice.”
They’re asking for the rapper’s “immediate release” or a judgment of acquittal or resentencing, the outlet adds.
Back in July, the 56-year-old Star Island homeowner was sentenced to roughly four years after being found not guilty of the most serious offenses, sex trafficking and racketeering, If he’d been convicted of those offenses, he was facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars.
