Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to be released from prison earlier than expected, with his release date pushed forward by about six weeks as he continues to appeal his four-year sentence.
According to a report by Page sixThe Federal Bureau of Prisons has updated Combs’ release date from June 4, 2028, to April 25, 2028.
The change follows his acceptance into the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) in November, which could result in a reduced sentence for participants who fully engage.
It has not been a straightforward path to the earlier date.
Combs’ sentence had actually been extended in November 2025, pushed from May 8, 2028 to June 4, 2028, after he allegedly violated several prison rules.
He was also accused of engaging in a three-way phone call, which is prohibited in the facility.
The music mogul, who has been held at the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institute in New Jersey since his arrest in September 2024, is also fighting his sentence in the courts.
In December, his lawyers appealed for either his immediate release, overturning of the sentence or a reduced sentence.
The appeal argued that prosecutors failed to prove their case and that the sentencing judge imposed terms that violated his constitutional rights.
Prosecutors filed their opposition to the appeal in February.
Combs was charged with vandalism conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
After a two-month trial, he was found guilty of two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted of the remaining charges.
