The Federal Bureau of Prisons has advanced Sean “Diddy” Combs's projected release date to April 25, 2028, from a previously delayed June 4, 2028, according to records reported by E! News. The adjustment follows an alleged prison rules violation.
Sean “Diddy” Combs, the 56-year-old hip-hop mogul convicted in July 2025 of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution under the Mann Act, was sentenced in October 2025 to 50 months in prison. He is currently incarcerated at the low-security Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey, after an initial stint at New York’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
His original projected release date was May 8, 2028. However, it was briefly extended to June 4, 2028, after Combs was accused of consuming homemade alcohol in violation of prison rules—a claim he denied. Federal Bureau of Prisons records, as reported by E! News on March 2, 2026, now list April 25, 2028, as his projected release.
Combs continues to pursue an appeal of his sentence, filed in December 2025, seeking immediate release, acquittal, or a reduced term. Reports have also mentioned discussions of a potential pardon.
