Sean “Diddy” Combs’ projected federal prison release date has been moved up once again, according to records from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons. The adjustment shortens the music mogul’s expected time behind bars as he continues to appeal his conviction and sentence.
Sean “Diddy” Combs is serving a federal prison sentence with a projected release date of February 2028.6 lineup.c
Federal prison records now list Combs’ projected release date as Feb. 23, 2028, several weeks earlier than previous estimates. The 56-year-old is serving a 50-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, after being convicted in 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of more serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, following a closely watched federal trial. Prison officials have not publicly explained the latest adjustment to his release date.
The release date has changed multiple times since Combs began serving his sentence. Reports indicate earlier revisions moved his projected release from mid-2028 to spring 2028 before the latest reduction. Legal observers note that federal inmates may receive sentence reductions through participation in approved rehabilitation, education and treatment programs, although officials have not confirmed whether any specific program contributed to the most recent change.
