SEAN "Diddy" Combs' defence team has posted a bizarre video showcasing the music mogul as a "do-gooder" ahead of his sentencing.
The nearly 12-minute video features dozens of clips of a disgraced Combs playing with children, helping the elderly and handing out money.
The music mogul, 55, is facing a maximum of 20 years behind bars after he was found guilty on two prostitution charges in July.
His team have tried all they can to make sure he is let off with a lighter sentence – even campaigning for him to serve just two years in jail.
The video marks a last minute plea for freedom.
It is reportedly set to be played in court later today to help prove Combs' good nature despite his convictions.
The video starts with a black screen as the words "Sean Combs" flash up on the screen.
Several clips of the Bad Boy Records creator playing with his young children from past years are shown.
Combs is then pictured up posing for photos alongside firefighters, shopkeepers and up and coming music producers.
The footage quickly paints a picture of Combs – now a convicted criminal – as a beloved father and honourable member of the community.
All of the final four minutes are of Combs with his loved ones.
In one segment, the rapper is seen in tears across several videos as he speaks about his family.
Videos from his smiling children then appear as they thank Combs for "being so supportive".
The video ends with all his children saying: "I love you so much."
It comes as the music mogul begged Manhattan Judge Arun Subramanian for mercy in a four-page apology letter ahead of his sentencing.
He apologised "for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused".
Adding that he is now a reformed man following over a year of being incarcerated in a Brooklyn jail.
Combs wrote: "I literally lost my mind. I'm sorry for that and always will be.
"My domestic violence will always be a heavy burden that I will have to forever carry."
He was referencing an assault on his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, which formed part of the bombshell trial.
In his grovelling letter, Combs blamed his actions on drugs.
"I lost my way. My downfall was rooted in my selfishness. I have been humbled and broken to my core," he penned.
"The old me died in jail and a new version of me was born. Prison will change you or kill you – I choose to live."
His fellow inmates have even handed in glowing handwritten testimonials in favour of Combs after the rapper spent his time inside hosting classes.
The 55-year-old has reportedly been running a weekly session called "Free Game with Diddy."
Inmates say it covers everything from entrepreneurship to health advice, while also giving them a chance to "pick his brain" about fame and money.
Douglas Welch, 42, told Judge Subramanian that Combs "brings love into the Unit" and claimed the class pushed him to go "harder at my health journey".
Another inmate, Quinton Davis, said the sessions included "business Management, entrepreneurship and life skills," adding that Combs had even encouraged the group to use "AI and Chat GPT."
"It's a key factor and inside scoop on how Mr. Combs started from nothing and became the icon-business mogul he is today," Davis explained.
Back in July, Combs was the focus of a shocking near eight-week trial around his criminal actions across decades in the music industry.
He was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted of his most serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.
He now faces up to 20 years behind bars as the maximum sentence.
But prosecutors have only argued he should face up to 11 years in jail in total.
