CNN has learned about rapper P. Diddy's letter to the judge apologizing for his actions.

Rapper Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy, addressed the judge with a letter before sentencing, in which he apologized and stated that he "got lost in drugs and excesses." This was reported on October 3 by CNN.

"I've lost my way. I got lost on my way. I got lost in drugs and excess," the publication quotes the musician's letter.

According to the broadcaster, the rapper asked Judge Arun Subramanian to let him become "an example of what a person can do if they are given a second chance." It is noted that in his letter, P. Diddy also apologized for actions that caused others "pain and harm," and took full responsibility for "past mistakes."

The Reuters news agency reported on September 30 that the U.S. Federal Prosecutor's office called on the court to sentence Sean Combs to a minimum of 11 years in prison for sexual offenses. In addition, they want to fine him $ 500 thousand.

On August 5, P Diddy's lawyer Nicole Westmoreland, along with her client, appealed to US President Donald Trump with a request for clemency. Earlier, the American leader made it clear that, most likely, he would not pardon the perpetrator. At the same time, Westmoreland expressed hope for her client's optimistic attitude.

Prior to that, on July 3, a court in New York denied rapper Sean Combs bail until sentencing. The judge noted that the actor had not proved that he would not pose a danger outside of detention.

The New York Times reported on July 2 that a Manhattan court jury partially returned a verdict against P. Diddy, finding him guilty on two of the five counts, in particular of transporting people for prostitution. It was clarified that the discussions lasted 12 hours.
