Diddy鈥檚 leaked tape controversy and the appeal to overturn his sentence

An update on Diddy鈥檚 appeal to be released from prison and questions around a leaked sex tape

An alleged sex tape linked to Sean 鈥淒iddy鈥 Combs spread rapidly online as Diddy鈥檚 lawyers appeal his sentence.

Sean 鈥淒iddy鈥 Combs is asking the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan to overturn prostitution-related convictions, reduce his sentence or order his immediate release from prison.

Defence lawyers argue the jury acquitted him of the most serious allegations, while prosecutors continue to point to evidence of violence and coercion presented during the trial.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty and Shaun Kent discuss questions around leaked evidence, intimate recordings and the judge鈥檚 remarks at sentencing.
