NEW YORK (AP) — On the eve of his sentencing, Sean “Diddy” Combs says he is a new man after realizing he was “broken to my core” and wondering if he was better off dead after his arrest last year. Combs wrote in a letter sent to the judge late Thursday that he is free of alcohol and drugs and with his nearly clear mind can see how rotten he had become before his September 2024 arrest on sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and prostitution-related charges. A jury in July acquitted him of the most serious charges, meaning that he can’t face a life sentence. His lawyers say he should go free this month. Prosecutors are seeking over 11 years.
