Diddy Release Date Moves to Jan. 24, 2028 After 50-Month Sentence and Prison Altercation

Summary
January 24, 2028 is now Sean "Diddy" Combs' projected release date, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, moving him up from prior dates that had stretched as late as June 4, 2028.
The latest shift surfaced after Combs was placed in solitary confinement at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey following a physical altercation with another inmate, reportedly triggered by a remark.
Federal prison officials declined to discuss the fight or any disciplinary details, citing privacy, safety and security rules for individual inmates.
Combs, 56, was sentenced in October 2025 to 50 months on interstate prostitution convictions and remains in a special drug program unit rather than the general population.
His legal fight is still active: lawyers argued in April 2026 that key "freak-off" tapes were amateur pornography rather than evidence of sex crimes, and an appeal decision is pending.
