New York, USA – E be like say di courtroom dey shake well well as Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs wan see wetin go happen for im sentencing today. Inside di court, e get over 30 members of im entourage, plus im mama and pikin dem. Na wah! Even one ex-girlfriend dey for di back, wey don turn support for am after she done drag am for allegations, but na now she dey write letters to beg for am. Na only one pikin dey miss from di crowd (she dey enjoy her life far away from this wahala).
As di hearing begin, Diddy just dey there dey chill like say na ordinary gist wey dey happen. Di prosecutors don come out strong, dey accuse am say im don spoil di lives of plenty people. You fit see say di matter serious as di court dey break for lunch, everybodi dey wait for di next round at 14:00 local time. E be like say jollof go dey again for lunch, abeg.
After di break, Diddy’s pikin dem don come address di judge. Di whole place don turn emotional, as dem dey cry dey plead for di judge to send dia papa home. Quincy Brown, im adopted son come talk say, “Na changed man dey in front of you. E don mature, e different from wetin we don see for 15 years.” Justin, di first born, dey beg for second chance. Chae! Na family matter we dey here so, my broda! Every pikin dey try regain dia papa’s life as dem don sense say di courtroom dey di real wahala.
No be small commotion wey dey happen outside too! One alleged Diddy supporter don fresh handcuff collect for di NYPD. Dem say e don jam one laptop, but some people dey shout say di police dey unfair to am. As dem dey inside court, everywhere dey orderly, but outside na sharp contrast as di crowd dey scatter like say dem dey sell market. Some people dey protest, while some dey blast Diddy music, you fit imagine di gist wey dey go on.
Defense lawyer Nicole Westmoreland don dey shed tears dey talk about di good things wey Combs don do for society, like how e inspire people. Dem say he don make some mistakes (abeg! Who no go make mistakes for this life?), but wetin about di lives wey he don touch? Im don influence entrepreneurs and musicians, she dey talk with passion, even if she dey choke with tears. Na so di courtroom dey turned emotional pass! E fit just be say Diddy go finally get di chance wey im dey pray for!
Prosecutors dey yan say Diddy go face at least 11 years in jail. Dem gree say e don already serve 12 months, but e still dey look serious time ahead. E don good chance Dem dey hustle for di judge to see why all dis drama no fit end without proper accountability. One prosecutor don talk say, “Di violence wey Diddy don cause no be small matter, e get as e dey serious.” Na wah! Dis matter no be joke at all o!
People wey dey outside dey hope say dem no go hammer Diddy with di 11-year sentence. One level-headed guy named Zachary say he dey watch di trial, but not really for Diddy matter; he just wan make sure di sentencing fair. Another guy, Prince, come dey support di children, say no child deserve to grow up fatherless. E go right, we no go want any pikin suffer all dis wahala.
As di judge dem wan bust brain with di sentencing, Diddy don gear up to speak – no be to beg, but to do am in style. Na so dem dey talk say Judge Arun Subramanian go decide wetin go play out today, dem say na him dey slide with di sentences. Diddy dey show for court in white sweater, black pants, and e dey look sharp. But who e go convince today? Our fingers dey crossed, make e no be wahala for am.
