Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ ex-protégé Aubrey O'Day breaks silence on rapper’s sentencing

Aubrey O'Day has reacted for the first time to the news of the latest verdict against her former mentor, Sean “Diddy” Combs.

On Friday, October 3, the music mogul was sentenced to 50 months in prison following a nearly two-month federal trial that concluded with his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in July.

His sentence also includes five years of supervised release and a $500,000 fine.

Shortly after the verdict made rounds on the internet, O'Day took to her X (formerly known as Twitter) handle to share her honest take on the court’s decision, while also offering a piece of advice to young artists and aspiring individuals.

"Let this serve as a cautionary reminder to young and aspiring individuals pursuing their dreams. The true warning is not that a jury may doubt your testimony, nor that a court’s sentencing guidelines may fail to reflect the years of suffering you endured," the 41-year-old American singer wrote.

She added, “The real warning is this: the moment someone in a position of power oversteps your boundaries or demands more than is legitimately required of you, walk away and do not look back."

It is worth noting that O'Day has been outspoken about the heinous allegations against Combs for several years.

In September 2023, she claimed that the Bad Boy Records founder asked her to sign an NDA to prevent her from speaking negatively about him or his label, a “deal” she said she encouraged her former bandmates to “not take.”
