Judge Mathis Weighs In on Diddy Verdict and Sentencing
Imagine a former jurist swapping courtroom drama for 18 holes while still delivering hot takes on RICO charges—welcome to Judge Greg Mathis’s latest appearance at Mountain Gate Golf Course. He didn’t bring a putter just for show; he was ready to slice through Puff Daddy’s legal defenses with his signature deadpan wit. After Diddy was found guilty on a couple of prostitution counts in his racketeering and sex trafficking trial, Mathis wasted no time critiquing both the federal prosecution’s overreach and the superstar’s own questionable choices.
The ex-judge admitted he never quite bought the racketeering charge—calling it a stretch longer than the fairway on the 12th hole—while labeling the sex trafficking counts as “debatable.” That caveat came before he paused to acknowledge Cassie’s suffering under Diddy’s alleged misconduct, offering a rare glimpse of solemnity before returning to his dry commentary. It’s tough to roast someone when you’re actually sympathetic, but Mathis made it look effortless.
Diddy’s not skateboarding off into the sunset, though—Judge Arun Subramanian denied him bail, leaving the Bad Boy founder behind bars as he awaits sentencing. Mathis urged Subramanian to treat Diddy no differently than any other first-time offender, recommending a prison term of 21 to 27 months. That’s not exactly a light jab; it’s more akin to a half-swing at justice, firmly hitting his point home without the theatrics of a courtroom monologue.
Asked whether Diddy poses a continued risk to society or the witnesses who testified, Mathis shrugged in his trademark stoicism, admitting uncertainty. The former judge then tossed out his punchiest line yet: unless Diddy receives real help, “he’s going to do it again.” A diagnosis so blunt it belongs on a golf scoreboard: Diddy at fault, therapy required, next move pending.
When probed about a possible presidential pardon from Donald Trump, Mathis sounded more incredulous than hopeful—suggesting clemency for someone convicted of infractions that once seemed reserved for mob bosses might just be the final plot twist nobody saw coming. And for celebs hovering on social media waiting to chime in? Mathis dismissed them as benchwarmers, offering little but empty commentary until the gavel falls.
With a verdict in the books and sentencing looming, Mathis’s take serves as both a reality check and a roast session for the ages. Stay tuned—because if there’s one thing more entertaining than celebrity trials, it’s seasoned judges dishing out no-nonsense critiques from the rough. Tune in next time for more bad decisions and questionable life choices.
