Sean "Diddy" Combs appeared in court Friday, months after he was convicted on federal prostitution charges.
The now gray-haired rapper walked into court wearing a white shirt with a cream sweater over it. Diddy hugged all of his lawyers before giving a lengthy handshake to his lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo. The rapper then gestured to his family and put on his glasses.
The hearing began with the prosecution noting Diddy's victim, "Mia," had chosen not to give a victim impact statement despite being granted permission, partly due to a defense letter submitted to court. Judge Arun Subramanian noted the tone of the defense's letter was inappropriate and should not be done again.
Diddy is expected to speak in open court before his sentence is handed down. Subramanian approved the disgraced music mogul's request to wear non-prison clothing for the somber occasion.
