Can ‘repulsive’ Diddy stage a career comeback after his bombshell verdict? Experts weigh in
NY Post
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ supporters chanted “Free Puff!” — and poured baby oil over themselves — outside Manhattan federal court Wednesday after the stunning verdict in his bombshell weekslong sex trafficking trial was revealed.
But could he really make a comeback?
A jury convicted the once-renowned music mogul, 55, of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted him of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have landed him in prison for the rest of his life.
Combs is now facing a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison on the two prostitution charges. His sentencing is scheduled for October 3.
Before he was arrested in September, the three-time Grammy Award winner was riding high as one of the most powerful men in music.
And while his career quickly came tumbling down, the jury’s shocking decision opens the door to the possibility that Combs will try to rejoin the industry and fix his battered reputation.
