What is the current status of Sean "Diddy" Combs' prison sentence?

Combs was convicted in July 2025 on federal prostitution charges and is currently serving a 50-month sentence in federal prison. His initial release date was projected for May 2028, but has now been pushed back to June 4, 2028.

Why has Diddy's release date been delayed?

Combs allegedly faced potential disciplinary action for violating prison rules, including an unauthorized three-way phone call and being caught with homemade alcohol made from Fanta soda, sugar, and apples. The exact reasons for the updated release date are unclear.

Is Diddy taking any legal action to get out of prison early?

Yes, Combs is currently appealing both his convictions and 50-month sentence. If successful, he could potentially be released much earlier than the Bureau of Prisons' current estimates. Combs is also seeking a presidential pardon from Donald Trump, though the White House has denied considering that move.

Diddy's Prison Release Date Pushed Back Amid Alleged Misconduct

According to the latest information, Sean "Diddy" Combs' release date from federal prison has been pushed back to June 4, 2028, a move that comes after reports of the rapper violating prison rules.

Combs was convicted in July 2025 on federal prostitution charges and initially had a projected release date of May 8, 2028. However, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) records now show his release has been delayed by nearly a month, to June 4, 2028.

The reasons for the updated release date are unclear, but it follows allegations that Combs faced potential disciplinary action for an unauthorized three-way phone call and for being caught with homemade alcohol made from Fanta soda, sugar, and apples. Combs' representatives have denied any wrongdoing, stating there was "nothing improper" about the phone call and that the reports of the homemade alcohol were "completely false."
