Diddy's baby mama Dana Tran flees to LA after split trial verdict leaves him facing 20 years
The mother of Diddy 's youngest child immediately fled for Los Angeles after the jury's verdict in his New York City trial left him facing a jail term of up to 20 years. The rapper, 55, was acquitted on Wednesday of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges that could have put him behind bars for life. He was convicted of lesser prostitution-related offenses and was denied bail as he awaited sentencing. Shortly after the verdict was read out, Dana Tran, who gave birth to their two-year-old daughter Love Sean Combs in October 2022, rushed home to be with the toddler, who was ill with a cold, according to TMZ. Dana had attended Diddy's trial after traveling to New York City to show him her support in the final days of the case, but she quickly left after learning their daughter was sick. Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, and each count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. But jurors cleared him of three charges, two of which carried a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and a maximum sentence of life in prison. Despite sharing a child with her, Diddy has never confirmed a relationship with Dana. It has never been revealed how they met, and their connection has remained mysterious in the years since Love's birth. Now Dana is gone, Diddy will have to remain in jail as he awaits a sentencing hearing, which was initially scheduled for October 3. After hearing the verdict, the rapper dropped to his knees and prayed in the courtroom. His lawyer Marc Agnifilo called the verdict a great victory' and said the jury 'got the situation right — or certainly right enough' as he stood outside Manhattan federal court at a stand of microphones. 'Today is a victory of all victories.' 'I'll see you when I get out,' Combs told family members, including his mother and children, just before leaving the courtroom to return to jail. 'We´re going to get through this.' His attorney had first asked for him to be released on a $1million bond after the verdict, but the prosecution argued his convictions made him ineligible for bail because he was both a flight risk and considered potentially violent. Judge Arun Subramanian sided with prosecutors after previously denying Diddy bail before the start of the trial. Ironically, the judge cited Diddy's own defense at trial as part of the reason he would not receive bail, as his attorney had conceded Combs had engaged in domestic abuse in a disturbing video showing him shoving and kicking his then-girlfriend Cassie Venture before dragging her back to his hotel room after she tried to escape via an elevator. Judge Subramanian also cited the testimony of another of Diddy's ex-girlfriends — referred to in court only as 'Jane' — whom he was allegedly violent toward in June of last year, three months after the FBI raided his mansions. However, Diddy's attorney Marc Agnifilo pushed back and claimed that his client had only fought back against 'Jane' in self-defense. According to TMZ, he also cited the presence of Diddy's older children in court, but that didn't convince the judge to let him go free while he awaits sentencing. But the disgraced rapper will have another chance to plead his case sooner after Subramanian scheduled an expedited sentencing hearing for July 8. Although Diddy's six oldest children - Quincy Brown, 34; Justin Combs, 31; Christian 'King' Combs, 27; Chance Combs, 18; and twins D'Lila and Jessie Combs, 18 - all showed their support by attending court on Wednesday, most of them stayed silent on social media in the wake of the verdict. But Christian was the exception, taking to Instagram to cheer on his father's acquittal on the most severe charges, even though he could still face up to two decades behind bars. Later on Wednesday, he posted a snippet of his song Diddy Free — which features Kanye West — to his Instagram Stories, along with the single's photo of Diddy's Bad Boy Records headquarters.

Diddy's baby mama Dana Tran deserts him to fly off to LA after split trial verdict leaves him facing 20 years
The mother of Diddy 's youngest child had a surprising reaction to the split verdict in his trial on charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Dana Tran, who gave birth to their two-year-old daughter Love Sean Combs in December 2022, reportedly flew the coop and jetted off to Los Angeles on Wednesday, not long after the verdict was read in New York City. But sources told TMZ that she was heading back home as their daughter had fallen ill with a cold. Diddy was ultimately acquitted of the most serious charges on sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, but he was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The music mogul could spend up to 20 years in prison for those charges, even though he escaped a potential sentence of life in prison.
