Tony Yayo has shared that he believes Sean "Diddy" Combs will be just fine after being sentenced to 50 months in prison for two counts of violating the Mann Act.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Yayo and Uncle Murda at LAX earlier this week to get their thoughts on Combs' sentencing. "He still got money. That's the point," the G-Unit member said. "Some people go to jail, and don't have nothing. You got money, you're good. Two years, you good."

Yayo was told that Combs "might get out in two years." The disgraced mogul is expected to serve 37 months in prison after receiving credit for the last 13 months he has been behind bars.

When asked what Combs should do when he's completed his sentence, Yayo said: "I would just go chill on an island somewhere." Murda concurred, rejecting the notion that Diddy should get back into the studio, saying: "People wasn't really feeling Diddy's music like that no more."

A $500,000 fine was issued to Combs, who also received five years of supervised release.

Combs' former bodyguard Gene Deal delivered a searing response to Diddy's sentencing, especially the courtroom sketches depicting his emotional ex-boss.

"My heart goes out and it says, 'Fuck him and feed him beans,'" Deal said. "I can care less about his sadness. I can care less about him being in pain. I can care less about what he has to be faced with in court or in in jail. Now I don't have no remorseful feelings for him, bro. You understand."

Following his sentencing, Diddy's attorneys announced plans to appeal Judge Subramanian's decision.
