I was sick from the drugs. I was out of control. I needed help, and I didn\u2019t get the help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI lost all of my businesses and lost my career and destroyed my reputation, and most of all, I lost my self-respect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have been humbled and broken to my core. I hate myself right now. I\u2019ve been stripped down to nothing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combs broke down in tears as he addressed his mother, Janice Combs, who was seated in the courtroom. \u201cYou taught me better,\u201d he said. \u201cYou raised me better.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prosecutors are seeking more than 11 years in prison, arguing that Combs is \u201cunrepentant\u201d and poses a risk to others. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik told the court his behaviour is \u201csomething the public must be protected from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His lawyers painted a different picture, with attorney Nicole Westmoreland describing him as an entrepreneur who has supported social justice and the Black community. Lead counsel Marc Agnifilo said, \u201cI don\u2019t think he needs any more punishment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combs\u2019 children also spoke in his defence. Quincy Brown described him as a \u201cchanged man,\u201d while Christian Combs asked the judge to \u201cplease give us grace and please give him mercy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Federal prosecutors last year accused Combs of running a criminal enterprise and organising drug-fuelled events. He denied wrongdoing but was convicted in July on two prostitution charges after a seven-week trial. The jury cleared him of racketeering and sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His legal team argued that he never led a criminal scheme and that his accusers participated willingly in the events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/diddy-apologises-for-disgusting-shameful-actions\/\">(Punch)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs has apologised in court on Friday ahead of his sentencing on prostitution charges, telling a federal judge he has \u201cchanged for the better.\u201d \u201cI can\u2019t change the past, but I can change the future,\u201d Diddy apologised for his actions and told Judge Arun Subramanian at the U.S. District Courthouse in Manhattan.
