Yung Miami has written a letter to the federal judge in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ criminal case, asking him to release the music mogul on time served at his sentencing in next month.
The rapper, born Caresha Brownlee, insists Diddy “belongs at home, with his family,” in the document obtained by New York radio station Power 105.1.
The mogul has been jailed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, since he was arrested in September 2024.
The letter to Judge Arun Subramanian begins with Yung Miami noting that she “cannot speak on or defend anything that may have happened” before she met Diddy.

The former City Girls member says she doesn’t “condone any wrongdoing,” and says the mogul has been “loving” and “supportive” in the four years since they met.
“For three of those years, I was in a public relationship with Sean, and during that time, I witnessed — and came to know — a different person than the one often portrayed,” the letter states. “Behind the scenes, he was loving, genuine, supportive, and always encouraging.”
She says the Bad Boy Records founder gave her a platform on the Revolt cable network, which he founded in 2013.
“He motivated me, believed in me, and helped me grow both personally and professionally,” the letter says.
Yung Miami still hosts her “Caresha Please” podcast for Revolt. Although the company cut ties with Diddy in June 2024.
In another part of her two-page letter, Yung Miami describes Diddy taking her to the Met Gala and elevating her profile. She cites the event as an example that he “made it a priority to open doors for Black people, to make sure we are seen, heard, and valued in spaces where we were historically excluded.”
The rapper insists Diddy is dedicated to his family and calls him “a good man.”
Others who sent in letters include Diddy’s mother Janice Combs, his children, singer-songwriter Dallas Austin, former BET executive Stephen Hill, and music producer Stevie J.
Janice Combs, 84, admitted her son “has made some terrible mistakes in his life, which I know he recognizes.”
“On December 21, I will be 85 years old,” she wrote. “This separation for the past year while Sean has been incarcerated has been excruciatingly difficult and painful for me and his children. I would like to spend the last few years of my life with my son, Sean.”
On July 2, a federal jury in Manhattan acquitted Diddy of racketeering and sex trafficking, but found him guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution involving his ex-girlfriends Cassie Ventura and a woman using the pseudonym “Jane Doe.”
That same day, the judge denied the mogul’s $1 million bail request after receiving letters from government witnesses, including Diddy’s former chef, saying he is a danger to the community.
Chef Jourdan Cha’Taun Atkinson wrote in her letter, “There has been a clear pattern of physical, sexual and financial abuse on his part for years. Releasing him now would be unjust.”
Combs is due in court this Thursday, Sept. 25, for a hearing in his case. He will be sentenced on Oct. 3, for the two prostitution-related counts.
