Rap Mogul Diddy Sentenced to 50 Months, Release Date Set for 2028

According to the news, rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison earlier this month. Combs was found guilty of violating the Mann Act during his sensational summer trial, which ended in a split verdict.

If Combs serves his sentence without incident, he is expected to be released from federal lockup on May 8, 2028. This release date includes the time he has already spent in a Brooklyn federal prison while awaiting trial.

The headline-grabbing legal proceedings involved two of Combs' ex-girlfriends taking the stand and describing drug-fueled "freak-off" parties that could last for up to four days. Prosecutors accused Combs of coercing and manipulating the women into participating in these events and running his business as a criminal enterprise.

Despite his powerhouse legal team's attempts to have him released with time served, the judge overseeing the trial sentenced Combs to 4 years and 2 months in prison. The rapper's request to be housed in a New Jersey prison was also denied. Additionally, the White House has firmly denied rumors of a presidential pardon for Combs, stating there is "zero truth" to such reports.
