Diddy's prison release date moved up to February 23, 2028, shaving two months off his sentence due to good conduct and program credits.
- June 17, 2026
AceShowbiz - Sean Combs, widely known as Diddy, has received another favorable update regarding his prison release date, which has been moved earlier to February 23, 2028. This adjustment shortens his sentence by two months from the previously scheduled April 25, 2028 date.
Diddy is currently serving a 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey following his conviction last July on two counts related to transportation to engage in prostitution. This marks the third revision of his release date since the conviction.
Initially, his release was set for May 8, 2028. However, in November 2025, the date was pushed back to June 4, 2028 after reports emerged about alleged alcohol use while incarcerated. The date was then moved forward to April 25, 2028 before this latest update from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
The Bureau attributed the new release date to good conduct time, program credits, and time served, though they did not specify which factors applied directly to Diddy's case. Despite the current February 2028 date, there remains the possibility of an even earlier release depending on ongoing legal efforts.
Diddy's legal team continues to push an appeal to overturn his conviction entirely. The case is now under review by judges at the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which could impact his incarceration timeline further.
In addition to his prison sentence, Diddy recently achieved a significant legal victory when a federal judge dismissed most claims in a civil lawsuit filed by former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard. The suit involved allegations of emotional abuse and breach of contract, but the judge ruled that the statute of limitations had expired on most of the claims, allowing only one to potentially be refiled.
Despite facing over 70 civil lawsuits nationwide, Diddy's current legal momentum appears favorable, with multiple developments working in his favor across different cases.
