  • Diddy’s lawyers seek lighter sentence as prosecutors push

    Diddy’s lawyers seek lighter sentence as prosecutors push

    Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyers expect him to receive a two-year prison sentence for his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

    This is significantly less than the 51 to 63 months recommended by prosecutors. Combs’ attorneys have asked for his release on a $1 million bond, co-signed by his mother, sister, and the mother of his oldest daughter, Chance.

    The judge overseeing the case, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, will determine Combs’ sentence. Combs has already spent 10 months in custody and will receive credit for time served. Prosecutors argue that Combs remains a danger to the community, citing allegations of a brutal assault on a woman known as “Jane” in June 2024 and possession of drugs and materials associated with “Freak offs” while awaiting arrest.

    Combs’ lawyers dispute these claims, stating that there’s no evidence to support the government’s suggestion that he could still commit prostitution crimes.

    They point out that Combs never contacted potential escorts or prostitutes during the investigation. The sentencing is set for October 3, with Combs facing up to 2 years in prison for the two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

    Buchi Solomon reacts as American rapper wins best gospel artiste award

    Solomon Buchi, a Nigerian social commentator has condemned organisers of the British Entertainment Television (BET) awards for awarding an American rapper and songwriter, Glorilla, best gospel artiste.

    TheNewsGuru reports that Glorilla took home the award for best gospel artiste

    Reacting, Buchi argued that Glorilla’s music collaboration with a gospel artist does not mean she is a gospel singer and therefore does not deserve the award.

    According to him, Glorilla, who dresses seductively and opens sensitive parts of her body, does not deserve to win the award.

    Buchi Solomon added that the gospel became a scam since it stopped being a ministry.

    He said, “So naked, profane-singing, seductively pop stars are now winning gospel awards? Shame on all involved to make this happen. Again, gospel industry is a scam. It became a scam ever since it stopped being ministry.”
