Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ prison release date has been moved up again, now set for February 5, 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The 56-year-old media mogul, serving a 50-month sentence at Fort Dix in New Jersey, has seen his projected discharge date shift multiple times since his sentencing. The latest adjustment comes weeks after he was released from solitary confinement following an inmate altercation in July.

What Diddy was convicted of

A jury convicted Combs in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of more serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. The convictions stem from accusations that he forced women to participate in sex parties called “freak offs.”

Why his release date keeps changing

The Bureau of Prisons does not explain specific date adjustments. However, participation in drug abuse rehabilitation programs can reduce sentences by several months. Combs is enrolled in such a program at Fort Dix. His release date may also shift if he serves final months at a residential reentry center, or halfway house.

Timeline of release date changes

Combs’ projected release has shifted six times since sentencing. It started at May 8, 2028, then moved to June 4 after reports he violated prison rules by making homemade alcohol. It was then moved to January 24, 2028, then February 20, and now February 5. No explanation has been provided for the multiple changes.

The July prison fight and solitary confinement

In July 2026, Combs was involved in a fight with another inmate at Fort Dix. He was placed in solitary confinement following the altercation. According to reports, he “held his own” during the scuffle. He was released from solitary confinement in August 2026.

Final Thoughts

Combs remains on track to serve roughly two years and four months of his 50-month sentence. The Bureau of Prisons has not disclosed why dates continue to shift, leaving his actual release date uncertain.
