Sean "Diddy" Combs' request for an acquittal or a new trial was denied on Tuesday, September 30, just days before his scheduled sentencing. Judge Arun Subramanian wrote in a judgment obtained by People and Deadline that the "government proved its case many times over" in its federal case against the star. "That by itself might be enough to dispose of Combs's challenge," the judge determined. Subramanian's decision comes after a Thursday, September 25, hearing in New York to consider the rapper's latest request.
