Diddy 'received standing ovation' on return to prison
The disgraced rap mogul's trial in New York ended last week when he was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering, but convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, and when he returned to Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, the other prisoners viewed the decision as a sign of hope.
His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, told People magazine: "They all said, 'We never get to see anyone who beats the government.'"
The lawyer - who speaks to the 56-year-old rapper four or five times a day - thinks Diddy's arrest and subsequent time behind bars has changed him.
"He's doing OK," Agnifilo said.
"(He) realises he has flaws like everyone else that he never worked on.
"He burns hot in all matters. I think what he has come to see is that he has these flaws and there's no amount of fame and no amount of fortune that can erase them. You can't cover them up."
The Bad Boy Records founder - who has been in jail since September 2024 - will stay behind bars until his sentencing on 3 October after once again being denied bail by Judge Arun Subramanian.
He could face a prison term of up to 20 years.
Denying bail, the judge noted that prosecutors were right to point out that a Mann Act violation means detention was "mandatory".
Combs was convicted of flying people around the country to engage in sexual encounters.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs received standing ovation from fellow inmates after partial conviction
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Sean 'Diddy' Combs received a standing ovation from his fellow inmates when he returned to jail after he was acquitted of sex trafficking charges in his trial. Marc Agnifilo, the lead lawyer for the Act Bad rapper, told People that his client's fellow inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, viewed the partial acquittal as a sign of hope.

Picture:In this courtroom sketch, Combs reacts after he was convicted of prostitution-related offences but acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Picture: Elizabeth Williams via AP 'They all said, 'We never get to see anyone who beats the government,'' Agnifilo said. The former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney went on to describe Combs' overall emotional and mental state, per Page Six. 'He's doing okay,' Agnifilo shared, adding that the Revolt co-founder, 55, 'realises he has flaws like everyone else that he never worked on.'

'I think what he has come to see is that he has these flaws and there's no amount of fame and no amount of fortune that can erase them. You can't cover them up.' Last Wednesday, Combs finally learned his fate in his eight-week sex-trafficking trial after a jury reached a verdict. People react outside Manhattan Federal Court after the verdict was handed down. Picture: Eduardo/AFP The disgraced rapper was found not guilty on two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and on racketeering conspiracy. However, he was convicted on two counts of prostitution, with each charge carrying a maximum of 10 years in prison. After the verdict was read, Combs' legal team urged Judge Arun Subramanian to release him on bail pending his sentencing. Subramanian denied the record producer's request because his attorneys failed to demonstrate that he posed 'no danger to any person.' Combs' sentencing hearing is set for October 3.
