Diddy’s New Prison Release Date Revealed: Convicted Mogul Could Be Set Free Sooner

Sean “ Diddy ” Combs could be home from prison earlier than expected, according to federal inmate records that show his release date has been moved up.

Diddy, 56, is now expected to be set free on Feb.

5, 2028, according to records posted by the federal Bureau of Prisons reviewed by Billboard .

That’s a few weeks earlier than recent projections, and months earlier than the June 2028 release date posted in November.

Combs was already expected to serve less than the full term, thanks to a year of time served as he sat in jail awaiting his trial and verdict.

But the new release date would represent an even shorter sentence than previously thought — only roughly two years and four months after his date of sentencing.

Such dates are just estimates, reflecting the “inmate’s projected release date based on BOP calculations.” The earlier-than-expected date could reflect that Combs will serve the final few months of his sentence at a residential reentry center, or halfway house, or his participation in BOP’s drug abuse rehab program, which can sometimes shave months off an inmate’s sentence.

BOP does not comment on how specific projections are reached.

Diddy’s expected release has moved several times in the year since the star was sentenced.

It was initially May 5, 2028 , but was moved back to June 4 after media reports that he violated prison rules by drinking homemade alcohol.

It was then moved to January, then back to late February, before the most recent move to Feb.

5.

Once one of music’s most powerful men, Combs was arrested and charged in September 2024 with racketeering (RICO) and sex trafficking violations over claims that he ran a sprawling criminal operation aimed at facilitating the “freak-offs” — elaborate events at which he allegedly forced ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and others to have sex with male escorts while he watched and masturbated.
