Diddy’s Prison Release Date Moved Up to April 2028

Sean “Diddy” Combs will be released from federal prison on April 25, 2028, over a month earlier than previously scheduled, according to a Federal Bureau of Prisons document obtained by XXL on Tuesday [1]. The change in his release date comes after he was accepted into a drug-abuse rehabilitation program.

Sentence and Incarceration

Combs is currently serving a 50-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey [3]. He was sentenced in October 2027 after being convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution [3]. He was acquitted on more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

Initial Release Date and Adjustments

Combs’ original release date was set for May 8, 2028, but was later pushed back to June 4, 2028, in November [2]. The extension was reportedly due to alleged rules violations while incarcerated [2].

Rehabilitation Program and Appeal

In November 2027, Combs was accepted into a drug-abuse rehabilitation program, which likely contributed to the shortened sentence [2]. His legal team filed an appeal in December, arguing that his sentence was too harsh considering his acquittal on the more serious charges and requesting his immediate release or a reduced sentence [3]. Prosecutors opposed the appeal in February [3].

Previous Request for Fort Dix Placement

Prior to his sentencing, Combs’ lawyers requested he serve his sentence at the low-security FCI Fort Dix, citing the facility’s drug treatment program, educational opportunities, and proximity to family [4].
