Sean “Diddy” Combs’ projected release date from federal prison has been moved up again, according to Bureau of Prisons records.
The hip-hop mogul is now scheduled to leave Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey on Feb. 5, 2028. His prior projected release date was Feb. 20, 2028.
The latest adjustment cuts more than two weeks from Combs’ projected federal incarceration. His release date has shifted several times since he entered custody.
A federal jury convicted Combs in July 2025 on two counts of transporting people across state lines for prostitution. The charges stemmed from allegations involving sexual encounters prosecutors described as “freak offs.”
Prosecutors alleged Combs arranged encounters involving his girlfriends and male sex workers. They also alleged he watched and recorded some of the encounters.
Jurors, however, acquitted Combs of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Those charges carried substantially greater potential penalties than the counts resulting in convictions.
U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Combs in October 2025 to four years and two months in federal prison. He began serving that sentence at FCI Fort Dix the same month.
Combs’ incarceration has included a reported altercation with another inmate. The incident allegedly led to a brief period in solitary confinement.
His projected release date initially stood in June 2028. It later shifted to January 2028 before moving to Feb. 20, 2028.
Federal records now list Feb. 5, 2028, as Combs’ projected release date. The Bureau of Prisons can revise projected release dates based on applicable custody and credit calculations.
Combs’ case followed a closely watched federal prosecution in New York. Prosecutors pursued allegations involving sex trafficking and racketeering, but jurors rejected those counts.
The defense argued prosecutors had overstated the evidence. The verdict ultimately separated the prostitution-related conduct from the government’s more serious allegations.
For now, Combs remains incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix. His projected release date is Feb. 5, 2028, although that date could change again.
