Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ prison release date has been brought forward again.

The 56-year-old rapper is currently serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Including time served since his arrest in September 2024, he was initially due for release in June 2028, but that date changed multiple times to become as early as 21 January 2028.

It was later pushed back again to March 2, 2028, following a report from NBC News that alleged that Diddy spends thousands of dollars a month getting fellow inmates to give him massages, as well as cook, clean, and do his laundry. The report also stated that he has a contraband mobile phone and alcohol smuggled into the prison.

However, after he was recently transferred from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to the smaller FCI Allenwood in Pennsylvania, he will now be getting out almost a month earlier.

According to TMZ, the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) now lists the I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker’s date of release as February 6, 2028.

Combs was transferred to a new facility last month, and Jose Rojas, a union secretary representing Bureau of Prisons employees, told the outlet that he is among the general inmate population.

His representative said: “If this information is accurate, we’re pleased to hear that Sean has returned to general population. His safety and well-being are always important to us, but we have no specific reason to believe he is at risk. We hope he can continue serving his time safely and without unnecessary disruption.”

The Bad Boy Records founder had spent almost a year at Fort Dix, where he was said to have racked up a number of violations for allegedly using contraband mobile phones and fighting.

He was placed in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) for problem inmates, and sources told TMZ that he had lost 41 days of good time credit - which contributes to early release - as well as 400 days of commissary privileges.
