Sean Combs, known as Diddy, is challenging his conviction in a US appeals court, claiming that his trial did not properly consider the evidence.
The artist's lawyers are expected to appear in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, where they will argue that the judge should not have included allegations of abuse and threats against former partners during the final decision.
The 56-year-old is currently serving a sentence of over four years at a low-security federal prison in Fort Dix, after being found guilty of charges related to promoting prostitution.
However, he was found not guilty of the most serious charges, including sex trafficking and criminal organization.
The defense claims that the conviction should be overturned, arguing that Sean Combs did not directly participate in the alleged acts, but was only a witness.
His lawyer, Alexandra Shapiro, is expected to point out that Judge Arun Subramanian has considered evidence related to charges for which he was acquitted.
Among the most controversial issues is the claim that he threatened to release a private video of Cassandra Ventura, as well as pressure on another woman identified as "Jane."
On the other hand, the prosecution insists that this evidence is essential for understanding the context of the events, even though it did not lead to a conviction for the most serious charges.
Sean Combs himself has admitted to abusive behavior on several occasions, but insists that the sexual acts were consensual.
Currently, his release is scheduled for April 15, 2028, but the appeal decision could change the course of the case and his future.
