NEW YORK — A federal judge said Thursday he’ll rule “very shortly” whether to toss out two prostitution-related charges that Sean “Diddy” Combs was convicted of in July or to move forward with a sentencing planned for next week.

Judge Arun Subramanian listened to nearly 90 minutes of arguments by lawyers over whether the charges were properly brought against the Grammy-winning hip-hop producer.

Combs, 55, is scheduled to be sentenced next week in Manhattan federal court for his conviction on two counts alleging that he arranged interstate travel for people engaged in prostitution.

Defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro urged the judge to toss out two violations of the Mann Act that resulted in conviction. The jury acquitted him of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
