Sean “Diddy” Combs’ release from prison is now set for February 2028, weeks earlier than his previously scheduled date.
Combs, 56, is serving a 50-month sentence for prostitution-related charges at the low-security Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, after he was found guilty in July 2025 of two counts of transportation to engage in pr0stitution following a federal s£x trafficking trial in New York.
His initial release date was set for June 4, 2028, but it was pushed up earlier this year to April 2028.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website, Diddy’s new release date is slated for February 23, 2028.
Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution following a seven-week trial that concluded in July 2025. He was acquitted of separate s£x-trafficking and racketeering charges that had carried potential life sentences.
His legal team has appealed the conviction and sentence before a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
The defense has argued the Mann Act was improperly applied and that U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian acted as a “13th juror” in imposing an abnormally long sentence for a Mann Act conviction.
The defense also contends the sentence was improperly enhanced using conduct tied to the charges of which Combs was acquitted — a practice known as acquitted conduct sentencing. The appeal remains pending.
