Sean “Diddy” Combs apologized and expressed “how sincerely sorry I am for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused” in a letter Thursday to the judge set to sentence the disgraced hip-hop mogul on two prostitution-related convictions Friday.

"I lost my way. I got lost in my journey. Lost in the drugs and the excess. My downfall was rooted in my selfishness," Combs wrote in the letter to U.S. District Court Judge Arun Subramanian.

The letter was dated Thursday, a day before Combs is to be sentenced in a Manhattan courtroom on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Combs was acquitted of the most serious counts, one count of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.

He faces up to 20 years in prison, 10 years on each count on which he was convicted.
