Federal Bureau of Prisons records reviewed Monday show Sean “Diddy” Combs’ release date has been changed.
The new date is April 25, 2028, according to the records, which were cited by E! News.
New release date shortens time behind bars
That date moves Combs’ term earlier than some previous projections.
When he was sentenced in October, his projected release date was May 8, 2028. Officials later listed June 4, 2028, after a reported infraction.
Now the records show an April release next year.
Combs, the 56-year-old music executive, is serving a 50-month sentence. He was convicted on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution. Jurors acquitted him of racketeering and sex trafficking counts. A judge ordered a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release. Combs has appealed his conviction and sought other remedies.
The Bureau of Prisons review does not explain the change.
Prison officials and the U.S. Attorney’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Corrections calculations can change for several reasons. Good-conduct credits and program participation can shorten time served. Transfers between facilities and administrative adjustments can also alter dates.
Combs’ representatives have disputed some claims about his conduct behind bars. A spokesperson said in November, “He has not violated any prison rules.”
The rep added, “His sobriety and self-discipline are priorities, and he is taking them seriously.”
That statement asked for privacy while Combs focused on rehabilitation.
During his sentencing, Combs apologized in court.
“I am not this larger than life person — I am just a human being,” he told the judge. “I was trying my best, I got lost in my excess and lost in my ego,” he said.
“Because of my decision, I lost my freedom and the opportunity to raise my children.”
He spoke of being “humbled and broken to my core,” and said, “I hate myself right now.”
Defense lawyers have pursued a transfer for Combs to a program at Fort Dix.
A judge indicated willingness to recommend him for a drug-abuse treatment program. Completing that program could reduce his sentence further.
Victims’ attorneys and prosecutors say the conviction reflected the jury’s careful deliberation. A lawyer for Cassie Ventura said her client “had the courage” to bring issues forward. Prosecutors maintained the case showed how power and fear were used, a point they made at trial.
As of Monday, Combs remained at the Fort Dix facility, officials say.
