Sean “Diddy” Combs’ prison release date has been moved up for a third time amid reports he was involved in a physical altercation with a fellow inmate.
According to records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons viewed by Us on Wednesday, July 29, Diddy, 56, is now eligible for release on January 24, 2028.
“At this point we do not have the necessary information to respond with any clarity,” a spokesperson for Diddy told Us on Wednesday of the rescheduled release date.
Diddy, who is currently serving a 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, was initially scheduled to be released on June 4, 2028. However his release date has changed multiple times. Us reported in March that the disgraced music mogul’s release was moved up a month-and-a-half earlier, to April 25, 2028. Two months later, the date was changed to February 23, 2028.
News of Diddy’s once-again updated release date comes less than a week after multiple outlets reported that the rapper was involved in an alleged altercation with another inmate. The alleged fight was reportedly broken up by prison staff. Diddy was reportedly moved to solitary confinement following the alleged incident.
Diddy’s spokesperson has not publicly addressed the incident. Us previously reached out for comment but did not hear back.
FCI Fort Dix declined to confirm Diddy’s reported stint in 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.”
In 2024, Diddy was arrested on multiple charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Diddy has vehemently denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty. After his highly publicized trial took place the following year, Diddy was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted on the remaining — and most serious — counts.
As part of his prison sentence, Diddy is participating in Fort Dix’s Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). When the musician was initially arrested, federal agents found ketamine, MDMA and prescription drugs in his New York City hotel room. During his trial, Diddy’s former employees testified that they were tasked with procuring illegal substances, including cocaine and marijuana, for him.
In a letter submitted to the judge before his sentencing, Diddy admitted he had “lost his way” in “drugs and excess.”
According to the United States Sentencing Commission, RDAP is a cognitive behavioral therapy program offered in some facilities. Inmates who comply with the program’s requirements may earn up to one year off of their terms of imprisonment.
