Count 5: Transportation to engage in prostitution – pertains to Victim 2 (“Jane”) and commercial sex workers
Combs was found not guilty on all counts besides 2 and 5, however the length of time he will spend in jail because of these crimes is not yet known.

Yung Miami has since deleted the post but people throughout social media have continued to blast the star with many remarking it was a ‘weird’ and ‘gross’ comment in the first place.
One user commented: “Leave Justin out of this wtf.”
Another said: “Young Miami posting a clip of Justin Bieber to celebrate diddy trial is weird asf.”
A third commented: “Yung Miami has not said nothing all these months and now she’s saying something. I guess she’ll be back on DIDDY’s payroll.”
With another adding: “Crazy and disgusting how yung miami used justin bieber as a meme to flex about Diddy like srsly this ain’t the flex u think it is mama, sit down.”
While another person simply commented: “You're actually such a loser it's insane.”
