Sean “Diddy” Combs New Prison Release Date Set For February 2028

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ prison release date has been updated again to February 2028.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been given a new prison release date.

The shamed hip-hop mogul is currently serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted on two prostitution-related charges and was initially due to be released in mid-2028, with the date being shifted by authorities several times. It was recently stated to be June 4, 2028, before shifting to April 25, 2028, but it has now changed once again. Combs is now likely to be released earlier, with February 23, 2028 currently standing as the date he is due to regain his freedom, according to PEOPLE.com.

Combs has been behind bars since his arrest in September 2024, and he was convicted in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

The rapper’s eight-week trial last year resulted in acquittals on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, but he was convicted on prostitution-related offenses.

A representative for the shamed star previously insisted Combs is using his time behind bars to take his sobriety “seriously.”

The spokesperson dismissed claims that Combs had been caught drinking homemade alcohol during his time in prison, insisting his client is focused on remaining clean and sober.

Combs was transferred from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York City, to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey on October 30.

FCI Fort Dix is a low-security facility and is said to have better conditions than MDC Brooklyn, where Combs had been held since his arrest on various sex crime charges in September 2024.

His legal team had requested that he be moved to the New Jersey facility because of its access to drug rehabilitation programs.

US President Donald Trump previously acknowledged that Combs had requested a pardon, but he is not currently considering granting it.

According to The New York Times, Trump said the rapper “asked me for a pardon … through a letter,” and then added, “Oh, would you like to see that letter?”

However, the publication reported the President did not produce the letter, but he did indicate he is not considering Combs’ request for a pardon.

Trump had previously suggested he was unsure about pardoning the “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker because Combs was “very hostile” toward him when he ran for the White House.
