SENTENCE SLASHED

Diddy Receives New Prison Release Date

His initial release date was set for May 2028.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to be released from federal prison two months earlier than expected under a revised timeline. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the 56-year-old rapper is now scheduled to leave New Jersey’s FCI Fort Dix on Feb. 23, 2028. Combs is serving a 50-month sentence after a jury convicted him in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The Bureau of Prisons declined to provide the reason for the latest change, citing privacy rules. The agency noted that release dates can be adjusted because of good-conduct credits, participation in approved prison programs, or time served before sentencing. The latest reduction continues a series of changes to Combs’ sentence. His projected release date was initially set for May 2028 and later moved to April 2028. Combs continues to challenge his conviction through an ongoing appeal.
