Disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is hoping to make a comeback to music with a concert at Madison Square Garden, according to his lawyer.
Recently the rapper was denied bail ahead of his sentencing on October 3,2025, when he could face up to 20 years in prison after being convicted of prostitution-related offenses.
However, the sentence will likely be shorter than that, with prosecutors seeking 51 to 63 months and Combs’ defense team proposing 21 to 27 months.
Speaking to CBS News, Combs’ lawyer Marc Agnifilo said Combs told him “he’s going to be back at Madison Square Garden,” referring to the iconic arena in New York City.

In July, Combs was found guilty of two counts of transportation for prostitution but was cleared of more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, which carried potential life sentences.
As the co-founder of Bad Boy Records and the mentor who launched the career of the late Notorious BIG, Combs was a significant figure in pop culture for decades.
He’s also a Grammy-winning artiste and entrepreneur who built an empire spanning fashion and reality TV.
