Rapper 50 Cent posted multiple Instagram sketches mocking Sean Combs after the Bad Boy mogul received his sentence on Friday. The posts featured courtroom drawings of Combs appearing emotional, and 50 Cent wrote that attorneys misled his rival about release prospects. He also referenced Combs' canceled speaking engagements, and he suggested availability as a replacement.
Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Combs to 50 months after prosecutors requested 11 years, and defense lawyers sought 14 months. Combs received the prison term on prostitution transportation convictions that carried potential 20-year maximum penalties. His son Christian testified that his father taught respect for women, but 50 Cent dismissed the family appeals through social media commentary.
The court also ordered Combs to pay a $500,000 fine. Defense attorneys plan to return on Monday to determine his custody location.
