Sean “Diddy” Combs’ prison release date has changed again.
Just a week after Us reported that the disgraced music mogul was now scheduled to be released from federal prison on January 24, 2028, the Federal Bureau of Prisons pushed back the star’s release date by just under a month.
Online records viewed by Us on Wednesday, August 5, show that Diddy, 56, is now eligible for release on February 20, 2028.
Diddy was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison in October 2025 after being found guilty on two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. He is serving his sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey.
The Bad Boy Records founder was initially scheduled to be released on June 4, 2028, however, that date has changed multiple times. In March, Us reported that the star’s release was moved up to April 25, 2028. Two months later, it changed to February 23, 2028. As of July 29, he was due to be released in January 2028.
“At this point we do not have the necessary information to respond with any clarity,” a spokesperson for Diddy told Us last week.
The recent changes to Diddy’s release date come after multiple reports that the rapper was involved in an alleged altercation with another inmate at FCI Fort Dix. The fight was reportedly broken up by prison staff, and Diddy was apparently moved to solitary confinement.
Diddy’s reps did not respond to Us’ comment on the alleged fight at the time. FCI Fort Dix declined to confirm whether Diddy was moved to solitary confinement.

“We are not at liberty to disclose or provide internal information pertaining to any inmate in our custody,” a spokesperson for the facility told TMZ in a statement on July 24. “Such information would not be available for the public domain.”
Diddy was initially arrested on charges including sex trafficking in September 2024. The case went to trial in May 2025 and concluded in July 2025. He was convicted on two prostitution-related charges, however, he was cleared of two counts of trafficking and one count of racketeering conspiracy. The star has maintained his innocence and denied all of the charges against him.
During his October sentencing, Judge Arun Subramanian also ordered Diddy to pay a $500,000 fine and complete five years of supervised release when he leaves prison.
During the sentencing hearing, Subramanian encouraged Diddy to “make the most” of his “second chance,” telling the star, “There’s a true path to redemption here. What went wrong and what can be made right.”
