Diddy just got another chunk shaved off his federal prison stint. His release date moved up another month, and he could be a free man just three weeks into 2028. According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records, Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently scheduled to be released from FCI Fort Dix on Jan. 21, 2028. That’s a significant shift from his previous timeline, which had him set for release on Feb. 5, and before that, Feb. 20.
The shifting dates reflect ongoing adjustments to his sentence. His projected release has bounced around several times since initially being set for June 2028. Each adjustment chips away at his time, bringing his exit date closer to early 2028.
Combs was found guilty at his 2025 federal trial on two counts of transporting prostitutes across state lines. During the proceedings, prosecutors detailed allegations of “freak-offs,” events where Combs would predominantly watch and record his girlfriends having sex with male prostitutes, typically in upscale hotel rooms. He was acquitted on the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. The jury’s verdict resulted in a 50-month federal prison sentence. Diddy has been serving his time at Fort Dix since his conviction. His incarceration hasn’t been without incident. Reports emerged of a physical altercation between Combs and another inmate, after which he was briefly placed in solitary confinement, adding another layer to his prison experience. If the pattern of date adjustments continues, Combs could find himself released well before the end of 2027. At this trajectory, a holiday return home next year isn’t entirely out of the question.
