TLDR: Sentencing for Diddy remains scheduled for October 3, 2025, following a one-minute court hearing that left the timeline unchanged.
We were back at the courthouse earlier this afternoon for what turned out to be an incredibly brief hearing on sentencing for Diddy. After eight weeks in court covering the trial for HipHopCanada, we’re now entering the next chapter: figuring out how much time he is expected to serve.
Today, myself and other media outlets descended upon the Southern District of New York courthouse just to find that the key documents had already been sent to the judge as well as appeared on the docket before any of us in the media even got there. By the time court was in session, the hearing itself barely lasted a minute.
In the end, nothing changed: October 3, 2025, continues to remain the official sentencing date for Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Here’s where things stand:
- Diddy was convicted last week on 2 out of 5 charges under the Mann Act, tied to transporting women for prostitution.
- He’s now facing anywhere from 21 to 64 months behind bars, depending on what the judge decides.
- Before sentencing, the Probation Office will prepare a Pre-Sentence Investigation Report (PSR) digging into Diddy’s background and the details of the case.
- Both sides will file arguments about how much time Diddy should serve.
- Any motions challenging the verdict have to be filed by July 30, 2025, with responses due by August 20, 2025.
- The government will submit a summary of Diddy’s alleged offence by July 11, 2025.
So while today’s hearing felt like a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, there’s still a lot of paperwork and legal work to be completed before Diddy’s actual sentence is handed down in the fall. We’ll keep you locked in as the countdown to sentencing continues.
