Diddy’s Prison Release Date Moves Up Again to February 2028

Sean “Diddy” Combs’s release from federal prison has again been moved up, now listed as February 23, 2028, from a sentence of 50 months for Mann Act violations. The update, reflected on the Bureau of Prisons site, marks the second revision to his exit date; prosecutors previously failed to secure harsher charges and are appealing portions of the verdict. The Bureau wouldn’t comment on confinement or release reasons, but reductions can come from good-conduct time and credits from approved programs. Fort Dix was chosen for its proximity to his family, and while it's unclear whether he entered rehab, such programs can shorten time in custody. His lawyers are pursuing a conviction appeal, while his supporters have urged his release.

Diddy Appeals 50-Month Mann Act Sentence in High-Profile Case

Sean 'Diddy' Combs’ lawyers are appealing his 50‑month Mann Act sentence after a trial that cleared him of coercion/sex-trafficking; a Second Circuit panel questioned the district judge’s weighing of evidence and suggested it could remand for resentencing, though a reversal might still yield the same term. The case centers on whether jury findings should limit sentencing and could set a precedent for how much weight judges can give to alleged coercion. Combs remains imprisoned at Fort Dix, NJ, with an estimated release date of April 15, 2028.

Diddy appeals conviction, arguing his explicit encounters were protected by the First Amendment

Lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs went before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to overturn his 50‑month Mann Act sentence, arguing the trial judge erred by relying on evidence of fraud and sexual coercion that a jury had acquitted and by treating his ‘freak offs’ recordings as protected by the First Amendment. Prosecutors countered that the challenged conduct was still relevant to the prostitution counts for which Combs was convicted. The court could uphold, order a new sentencing hearing, or overturn the conviction entirely; Combs, who is imprisoned at Fort Dix, has had his release date shuffled and the appeal leaves his status unresolved.
