Rap music mogul Sean "Puffy" Combs has been sentenced to make amends for the April beating of a record company executive by spending a day in anger management counseling.

The sentence was handed down Wednesday (9/8) by a New York judge after Puff Daddy [ tickets ] pleaded guilty to harassment in the case.

Interscope Records executive Steven Stoute claimed he suffered a broken arm, a broken jaw and cuts to his head after Combs and two other men punched him, kicked him and hit him with a chair, a champagne bottle and a telephone. The dispute allegedly surrounded a depiction of Combs nailed to a cross in a video by rapper Nas. Combs, 29, was said to have sought out Stoute for producing the video, though Stoute claimed he was not the producer.

A charge of second-degree assault -- which carries a maximum sentence of seven years behind bars -- was originally filed against Puffy, but Stoute balked at pursuing the prosecution, according to the AP. One of Combs' bodyguards copped the same plea and received the same sentence Wednesday.

Combs, who recently released a highly-anticipated album titled ''Forever,'' is scheduled to perform at the NetAid benefit on Oct. 9 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Elsewhere on the New York court docket, rapper Busta Rhymes was sentenced Wednesday to five years of probation on a weapons charge, according to MTV News. Rhymes was arrested in December after police discovered he was carrying a loaded, unregistered handgun during a traffic stop.
