Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Prison Release Date Moved up Again to February 2028 Following Prison Brawl

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is set to serve less time in custody following another change to his projected prison release date.

The music mogul will now be released on 5 February 2028 from the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, according to the Bureau of Prisons.

The latest adjustment moves his projected release more than two weeks earlier than the most recent scheduled date, 20 February 2028.

The change marks another shift in the release timeline, which has been altered several times since Combs began serving his 50-month prison sentence.

His initial projected release date was June 2028. It was subsequently moved earlier to April 2028, then February 2028 and January 2028, before being pushed back to 20 February 2028.

The date has now been moved earlier again, to 5 February 2028. The reason for the repeated changes was not clear from the information provided.

The Changing Prison Release Timeline for Diddy

The latest adjustment follows a series of changes to Combs' projected release date. Last month, his release was reported as being scheduled for 20 February 2028.

The Bureau of Prisons has now moved that date forward to 5 February, meaning Combs is currently expected to leave prison more than two weeks earlier than previously scheduled.

TMZ previously reported that the music mogul was involved in a much-publicised fight with another inmate at the prison. Following the brawl, Combs was placed in solitary confinement for a short period.

Despite the incident, his projected release date had previously been moved to January 2028. That January date was later replaced by 20 February 2028. The latest Bureau of Prisons update has now moved the projected release date forward once again.

His expected release date has therefore changed several times, with the projected date moving between earlier and later points. However, the supplied reports do not explain why the dates have repeatedly changed. For now, 5 February 2028 is the latest release date reported by the Bureau of Prisons.

Why Diddy Is Serving A 50-Month Sentence

Combs' incarceration follows his 2025 federal trial, which resulted in a mixed verdict. A jury found him guilty of two counts of transporting prostitutes across state lines for the purposes of sex. The jury acquitted Combs of the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Following the federal trial, a judge sentenced Combs to four years and two months in prison, equivalent to 50 months. The sentence was to be served at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, beginning in October 2025.

The conviction followed a trial in which prosecutors accused Combs of engaging in what they described as 'freak offs.'

According to the supplied reports, prosecutors alleged that Combs would mostly watch and film his girlfriends having sex with male prostitutes, with the encounters taking place primarily in hotel rooms.

The allegations were part of the prosecution's case during the trial, which resulted in Combs' conviction on the transportation charges. The jury, however, acquitted him of racketeering and sex trafficking.

His sentence has been accompanied by a changing projected release schedule. The initial date of June 2028 was subsequently moved to earlier dates, including April, February and January, before being pushed back to 20 February 2028.

The latest adjustment has once again moved the projected release date forward, this time to 5 February 2028.

The current date remains subject to change, as Combs' projected release date has already been revised several times. However, based on the latest information from the Bureau of Prisons, 5 February 2028 is the projected release date for the music mogul.
