Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

There’s a line I keep coming back to: “I don’t know anyone who defends predators, other than predators.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs just filed his appeal — a desperate attempt to undo the 50-month federal sentence that ended his decades-long illusion of control. Convicted of violating the Mann Act for transporting women across state lines for prostitution, Combs isn’t claiming innocence. He’s arguing math. His lawyers say the judge used “acquitted conduct” to calculate the sentence — a technical loophole that might shave a few months off.
But this isn’t about law. It’s about ego. The same need to control every narrative, every room, every person who ever said no. For a man who once sold invincibility as a brand, an appeal is just another way to pretend he still holds the power.
The odds? Almost zero. Federal courts rarely overturn sentences like his. But while his lawyers argue decimal points and sentencing guidelines, the rest of the world remembers what really matters: the pattern of coercion, violence, and control that no appeal can erase.
Some called it ambition. Others called it genius. But history will remember it for what it was — domination dressed as entertainment. Fifty months isn’t redemption. It’s barely acknowledgment.
In this episode, we break down what this appeal actually means, what’s really behind it, and why it’s the final act of a man who still believes accountability is optional.
Because the truth doesn’t need a new trial.
And you can’t appeal your own nature.
