Diddy Pleads for Mercy, Blames Past on Drugs Ahead of Sentencing.

Rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has begged a U.S. judge for leniency ahead of his sentencing on Friday, saying his violent past was fuelled by drug addiction and insisting he has changed after 13 months in jail.

In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs apologised “for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused” and admitted: “I literally lost my mind. I’m sorry for that and always will be. My domestic violence will always be a heavy burden that I will have to forever carry.”

He also apologised to another woman, “Jane,” who testified against him, saying he had been “lost in the drugs and the excess. I lost my way. My downfall was rooted in my selfishness. I have been humbled and broken to my core.”

The 54-year-old, convicted in July of two prostitution charges, faces up to 20 years in prison. Prosecutors want at least 11 years, while his lawyers are pushing for his release this month.

Combs argued that “the old me died in jail and new version of me was reborn,” adding he is now sober “for the first time in 25 years” and teaches fellow inmates about business.

But his accusers urged a long sentence, with singer Cassie Ventura warning: “I am so scared that if he walks free, his first actions will be swift retribution towards me and others who spoke up. He has no interest in changing or becoming better. He will always be the same cruel, power-hungry, manipulative man that he is.”

Prosecutors echoed that view, writing: “The defendant tries to recast decades of abuse as simply the function of mutually toxic relationships. But there is nothing mutual about a relationship where one person holds all the power and the other ends up bloodied and bruised.”

Politics‘Peter Obi Is Our Product, We Want To Get Him Back’ PDP.

Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ibrahim Abdullahi, has stated that the party is implementing measures to bring the Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, back into its fold.

Naija News recalls that in the build-up to the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, a former vice presidential candidate of the PDP, left the party to join the Labour Party.

He secured the LP’s presidential ticket and contested the presidential election against Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Peter Obi won 12 states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, but came third behind Atiku and the subsequent winner, Tinubu, according to the final results declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Speaking on Arise Television on Thursday, Abdullahi described the former Governor of Anambra State as a product of the PDP and a great asset to any political party.

According to Abdullahi, despite rigging and various forms of electoral process manipulation in the 2023 election, Peter Obi still garnered over six million votes.

He said, “Peter Obi is our product, and the PDP indeed wants to get him back. He is a very great capital for any political party, and any political party that will have him will be to their advantage.

“The truth of the matter is if he had not gone the way he did in the last dispensation and proved that mettle to generate over six million in spite of the rigging and frustration of his chances in many of the states. Peter Obi is truly a political capital no doubt about it.”
