Sean “Diddy” Combs’ prison term cut again, moving release to early 2028
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sentence was reduced by another month, setting his new release date for January 24 2028.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Sean “Diddy” Combs will now be released on January 24 2028, after his sentence was shortened by an additional month. The rapper-entrepreneur was originally slated for release in June 2028 and had his date moved to February 2028 last month. He is serving a 50-month term imposed in October for two counts of transporting prostitutes for drug-fueled sex acts, though jurors acquitted him of racketeering and sex-trafficking charges.
While in custody, Combs participates in a drug-abuse rehabilitation program and his lawyers have advocated for him to serve time at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security facility in New Jersey, citing its treatment services and closeness to his family. A reported fight with another inmate resulted in staff separating the two men and placing Combs in solitary confinement. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office is re-examining sexual-assault cases linked to Combs, and his representatives have not commented on the recent developments.
