Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is now set to be released from federal prison on May 8, 2028, according to records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons and multiple news sources.
Combs, 55, is serving a 50-month sentence following his conviction for transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution-related offenses.
Under federal policy, inmates serving more than 12 months may earn up to 54 days off per year for “good conduct time.”
According to his legal team, that reduction appears to put his release roughly six months earlier than originally projected.
Diddy Sentence Details and Facility Status
Combs’ sentence stems from his July 2025 conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution; he was acquitted of more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
The judge also ordered a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release following Combs’ imprisonment.
He has been detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his September 2024 arrest.
His lawyers are requesting a transfer to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey so he might access a Residential Drug Abuse Program and reduce his sentence further.
While May 8, 2028 is the projected date, officials caution it remains subject to change based on behavior, program participation and bureau decisions.
“Time served and good behaviour have clearly factored into this calculation,” said one analyst familiar with the case.
Combs’ legal team emphasized they will pursue an appeal. “We are not done fighting,” declared defense attorney Marc Agnifilo during a prior hearing.
During sentencing, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian described the offenses as “exploitative” and underscored the bravery of the survivors who testified.
Combs in court acknowledged his behavior and apologized to his children and family, saying he had “lost my self-respect.”
The judge added: “You will have a life afterward. I’m counting on you to make the most of your second chance.”
What Happens Next
If Combs completes qualifying rehabilitation programs, his team hopes that further sentence credit could apply. Enrollment in substance-abuse and domestic-violence programs is expected to be mandatory during supervision.
Meanwhile, the supervised release portion will include strict conditions: drug and mental-health treatment, restricted travel and ongoing monitoring.
