Six months after his federal conviction on two prostitution-related charges, the disgraced media mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, 56, sold his matte black Gulfstream G550 private jet. People recently confirmed that Combs sold the aircraft in October.

Silver Air Private Jets, which previously managed the aircraft’s charters, confirmed that their association with the aircraft ended in October 2025. This cessation followed a change in ownership, a representative for the private aviation company informed People.

The Gulfstream G550, previously owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs’ entity LoveAir LLC, now has a new registration. According to FAA registry records, the aircraft was formerly associated with the tail number N1969C. This tail number is no longer registered to the jet; it has been changed to T7-OKS, which indicates the aircraft is now registered in San Marino.

The 2015 jet, which can accommodate up to 14 passengers, was sold for an undisclosed amount, though comparable models typically fetch between $15 million and $30 million.

It features a distinctive matte black exterior, a beige interior, an entertainment system, and is designed to be pet-friendly.

In the months leading up to his arrest, Combs was often photographed as he prepared to board the custom matte black jet.

Federal agents raided Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes in March 2024. At the time of the raids, his private jet flew from California to Antigua, as confirmed by flight trackers reviewed by People. 

Combs was later seen boarding the jet in a clip he posted on his Instagram Stories in July. Combs recorded a first-person video showing him walking towards the plane, which had a “Combs Air” placemat at the base of the steps, as he exchanged greetings with the flight crew.

“No place like home,” he said at the end of the video.

Meanwhile, Rolling Out reports that while he was facing serious federal charges, Sean Combs reportedly generated significant income by renting out his $60 million private jet. Unaware of the aircraft’s owner, ultra-wealthy travelers unknowingly provided an unconventional revenue stream for the embattled music executive, keeping millions flowing into his accounts.

Silver Air managed the rental operations for Combs’ Gulfstream G550 after his arrest in Manhattan in September 2024. 

The 14-seat private jet became a key source of income for Combs as his other financial streams dried up due to mounting legal problems. From his arrest until May 2025, the aircraft was rented out frequently, completing 126 trips—nearly one every other day—and earning approximately $4.1 million in rental fees.

Sean “Diddy” Combs received a 50-month prison sentence, though he is expected to serve about three years due to credit for time already served. This comes after his two prostitution-related convictions in July 2025. 

Judge Arun Subramanian also ordered Combs to pay a $500,000 fine and undergo five years of supervised release.

During a recent two-hour interview with New York Times reporters, President Donald Trump, 79, discussed the criminal conviction of 56-year-old music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, as reported by USA Today.

When reporters presented Trump with the names of several imprisoned high-profile individuals and asked about potential pardons, Trump confirmed he is not considering clemency for Combs. 

The former president stated that Combs had “asked me for a pardon… through a letter.” When questioned about the timing of this alleged communication, Trump offered, “Oh, would you like to see that letter?” but ultimately did not produce the letter.
