Diddy's prison release date moved up again amid appeal, prison fight

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ anticipated release date from federal prison has been pushed a month earlier, to Jan. 24, 2028, according to U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate records reviewed by ABC News. The date had previously stood at Feb. 23, 2028. The Bureau of Prisons has not publicly explained the latest revision, and the projected date remains subject to shift again due to behavior in prison and other factors. A representative for Combs declined to comment on the update, ABC News reported. The latest change is the fifth update to Combs’ projected release date since his October 2025 sentencing, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons records reviewed by E! News. His release date was initially projected for May 8, 2028, reflecting standard good-conduct-time credit, before shifting to June 4, 2028, then April 25, 2028, April 15, 2028, Feb. 23, 2028, and now Jan. 24, 2028. Combs, 56, is serving a 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal facility in New Jersey, after his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of more serious racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges and is appealing his conviction and sentence. The updated date comes days after Combs was placed in solitary confinement following a physical altercation with a fellow inmate. A source familiar with the incident told ABC News that another inmate made a remark to Combs, which instigated the confrontation.
