Rapper 50 Cent submitted a public statement on Thursday urging the federal judge overseeing Sean Combs' case to impose the maximum sentence. The statement addressed Judge Arun Subramanian directly ahead of Friday's sentencing hearing for the disgraced music mogul.
50 Cent described Combs as dangerous and cited more than 20 years of conflict between them in his message. He told the judge he had feared for his life multiple times, and urged consideration of public safety before any potential release.
The statement came as Combs' legal team requested leniency based on time spent under suicide watch. Prosecutors rejected the defense arguments, and 50 Cent echoed their position in his social media post.
Combs faces sentencing after his July conviction on charges of transporting women across state lines for prostitution. Three additional lawsuits filed in June accused him of sex trafficking and sexual misconduct.
