Reality is starting to set in for Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“He’s in total shock right now,” a source tells the National Enquirer of the music mogul, who was sentenced to 50 months — or more than four years — in prison on Friday, October 3 after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
“He really believed he’d get out with time served, his lawyers promised,” adds the source, noting that Combs, 55, was so confident “he’d be a free man again,” he booked a speaking gig for the week after his sentencing hearing.
“Now all his plans are in limbo,” continues the source, adding that his rumored “comeback tour” and all the other “deals he had in place are on hold.”
The rapper also still faces nearly 70 civil lawsuits, while his most recent criminal suit cost about $15 million in legal fees, the New York Post reported.
“He’s terrified of coming out of jail totally broke,” adds the source.

As the Enquirer previously reported, President Donald Trumprevealed that Combs asked him for a pardon — and the Bad Boy Records founder is “still clinging to that hope,” continues the source. “But everyone around him says it’s unrealistic, and each passing day is crushing him further.”
All the setbacks are taking a toll. “He’s anxious and depressed and out of shape. The bravado he was clinging to is gone,” reveals the source.
“His family is all very worried about him, there’s a growing sense that he has very little to live for right now.”
