Sean “Diddy” Combs recently had his projected prison release date moved up again. The scheduled date changed several times as the disgraced rapper and his legal team challenged his conviction. Combs was first arrested in 2024. His trial then lasted for around two months in mid 2025, followed by his conviction in the summer. He was subsequently sentenced three months later.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs gets February 2028 release projection
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ latest projected prison release date is February 23, 2028.
The Bad Boy Entertainment founder, currently incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution, Fort Dix, previously had his scheduled release dates changed. Earlier this year, his projected prison release date was April 15. Before this, it was April 25 and June 4.
The law enforcement agency did not disclose the reason for the latest change. They stressed that they do “not discuss the conditions of confinement for any individual, including release plans” (via The Hollywood Reporter). However, general reasons listed include “good conduct time” and credits from approved programs and activities.
Meanwhile, Combs has been involved in a drug rehabilitation program at Fort Dix. According to a statement, his attorneys requested his placement at the correctional facility. This was due to the treatment programs offered and its proximity to his family.
An October 2025 filing written by Teny Geragos confirmed this. It read, “In order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts, we request that the court strongly recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Combs be placed at FCI Fort Dix” (via People).
Combs was arrested in September 2024. This was after the grand jury indicted him on three felony counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force/fraud/coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. While arraigned, he pled not guilty. He was also reportedly denied bail thrice.
Later, in July 2025, the jury found him not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. However, it found him guilty on two counts of transportation for prostitution. Three months later, Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced him to four years and two months in prison and five years of supervised release, and he was also issued a $500,000 fine.
