Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ prison release date is getting a little bit closer as it was moved up again.
According to official records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons viewed by Us Weekly on Monday, June 15, Combs, 56, will now be freed on February 23, 2028.
The rapper was originally scheduled to be released on June 4, 2028. But earlier this year, Us confirmed that his release was moved up a month-and-a-half earlier on April 25, 2028.
Combs’ team was not made aware of the date change. Us has reached out to a spokesperson for Fort Dix for comment.
Combs is currently behind bars at Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in southern New Jersey. He is serving a four-year sentence following his conviction on two counts of transportation for prostitution in July 2025. Combs began serving his 50-month sentence two months later. (During his highly-publicized trial, Combs maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty.)
Since his sentencing, Combs and his legal team have appealed the case. He remains behind bars as he awaits a decision. In a recent Us cover story, Combs’ lawyer Juda Engelmayer, shared that the music mogul has remained “remarkably positive” and “hopeful.”
“He’s focused on the appeal,” Engelmayer told Us. “And looking back at his life and trying to figure out ways to improve and be a better person.”
Engelmayer added that Combs has been hands on with the case amid the appeal process.
“He’s become like a paralegal, if not a lawyer already,” he shared. “My experience [is that] clients who are deeply involved in their cases are the ones who get further.”
