50 Cent Roasts Diddy’s Jail Fears with Viral Courtroom Sketches
The rapper behind 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'' turned courtroom sketches from Sean 'Diddy' Combs’s sentencing into Instagram jabs, following a hearing that featured his children’s touching appeals.
50 Cent has loaded his Instagram feed with drawings showing the Bad Boy founder in distress. Those posts earned thousands of interactions, highlighting 50 Cent’s social media savvy.
One sketch showed Combs with a strained expression and slumped shoulders, alongside the caption, “Damn them lawyers told puff he was coming home today. He paying all kinda money, they robbed him.” The image quickly made the rounds online.
He followed that with a post mocking Combs’s certainty about avoiding jail. “Hey to whoever was booking Diddy for speaking engagement. I heard he won’t be able to make it, 🤷🏽♂️ I’m available! 😆,” 50 Cent wrote, tagging a sketch of Combs dabbing tears from his eyes.
Another jab referenced one of the witnesses. “I think he dropped his pencil. I’m gonna send Jane to see him, to make sure he’s ok. How much you think she will charge for that? LOL,” he quipped, alluding to a woman who testified against Combs.
Inside the courtroom, Combs’s six children delivered heartfelt statements urging mercy. Christian 'King' Combs offered the most stirring appeal, calling his father both a hero and an example.
He declared, “He is the greatest in the world, he is my hero, has always been my hero, and always will be my hero; he always taught me to treat women with respect… I ask you with the utmost respect, please give us grace and please give him mercy to let him out and become the man we all know he is.”
50 Cent then shared a TMZ interview clip in which Combs discussed his odds of jail. The caption read, “Aww man he only got 2 years to do. The lawyer saying yes Sean is afraid someone’s gonna f### him. LOL.”
Judge Arun Subramanian handed a 50-month prison sentence—just over four years—alongside a $500,000 fine. Prosecutors had pushed for 11 years, while the defense argued for 14 months.
Combs’s conviction covers multiple counts of transporting people to engage in prostitution, each count punishable by up to 10 years. Before sentencing, he faced a maximum of 20 years behind bars.
Legal counsel will reconvene on Monday (October 6) to decide which facility Combs will report to for his term.
