There’s been a significant development in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ incarceration, less than a year after his sentence was handed down.

Sean “Diddy” Combs will be released from prison a month and a half early amid his battle to appeal his four-year sentence.
Page Six can exclusively reveal that Combs’ prison release date has been pushed up from June 4, 2028, to April 25, 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
This comes after Combs was accepted into a drug-abuse rehabilitation program in November, which could help shorten his sentence.
A rep for Diddy explained in a statement at the time of the rapper’s acceptance to the program, “Mr. Combs is an active participant in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) and has taken his rehabilitation process seriously from the start. He is fully engaged in his work, focused on growth, and committed to positive change.”
A lawyer and rep for Diddy did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
This isn’t the first time Combs’ release date has been changed. The music executive — who has been serving time at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institute in New Jersey — initially had his sentence increased from May 8, 2028, to June 4, 2028 in November 2025.
The November 2025 sentence was adjusted after the I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker allegedly violated multiple prison rules.
TMZ reported that same month that Combs got in “trouble with prison officials” for consuming “homemade alcohol.”
CBS News reported that Combs had been busted again for allegedly participating in a three-way phone call, which is prohibited.
The disgraced music mogul claimed to have not known that “third party or three-way calls are not authorised.”
His rep denied the “procedural call” was “improper,” defending it as “protected under lawyer-client privilege.”
The new release date comes as Combs filed to appeal his four-year sentence in December.
Lawyers demanded his immediate release and either reversal of the conviction or a reduced sentence, according to appeal court papers.
In the court papers, Combs claims prosecutors failed to prove their case against him, while his lawyer claimed the judge in the case imposed a harsh sentence that violated his constitutional rights.
Prosecutors responded in February, opposing the appeal request.
Combs has been imprisoned since his September 2024 arrest.
He was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combs was found guilty after a two-month trial on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and was acquitted of the other charges.
