As he awaits sentencing in federal custody, Sean "Diddy" Combs is taking steps that appear aimed at personal growth or strategic image repair, depending on who you ask. According to the sources, the music mogul has enrolled in two federal rehabilitation initiatives: the STOP Program, which focuses on preventing domestic and sexual violence, and a substance abuse recovery program led by renowned addiction specialist Dr. Harry K. Wexler.

In addition to these structured programs,

Diddy is reportedly receiving regular therapy sessions in an effort to confront long-standing personal issues.

Insiders close to the situation say the hip-hop icon is showing signs of genuine self-reflection. One source described it as “a step toward redemption,” adding that Diddy appears serious about changing the behavior that’s contributed to his fall from grace.

A Path to Change or a Legal Strategy?

Despite these efforts, not everyone believes Diddy’s transformation is entirely sincere. Critics argue that his participation in therapy and rehabilitation may be a calculated move intended to influence the outcome of his upcoming sentencing. This tactic isn’t uncommon among high-profile defendants, especially those facing serious allegations.

Diddy's recent trial saw him cleared of racketeering and sex trafficking charges but found guilty on two lesser counts linked to prostitution. Federal prosecutors have recommended a four-year prison sentence, though the final verdict rests in the hands of Judge Arun Subramanian, who is expected to rule on October 3.

Interestingly, sources reveal that Diddy had already begun drug counseling before his arrest and chose to continue treatment after entering custody. Whether this marks the beginning of sincere personal reform or is merely a strategic legal maneuver remains to be seen. In the coming months, the court and the public will decide which narrative holds weight.
