Diddy's Federal Prison Release Date Updated to April 15, 2028

Sean "Diddy" Combs' projected federal prison release date has been moved up by 10 days to April 15, 2028, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons records. The 56-year-old rap mogul is currently serving a 50-month sentence for convictions on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

The latest adjustment is the most recent in a string of changes to Combs' release timeline. He was first listed for release in May 2028, then moved to June 4, 2028, before the Bureau advanced the date to April 25, 2028, and now April 15, 2028. In December, his projected release date was pushed back from May 2028 to June 2028, and it was later moved up again to April 2028 in early March, before this most recent 10-day reduction.

Combs has been serving time at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution, a low-security prison in New Jersey, since late October. He was sentenced in October to over four years in prison with time served, plus five years of supervised release and a fine of $500,000. Before sentencing, Combs had already spent roughly a year in custody at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.

The Bureau of Prisons has not publicly explained the exact reason for the most recent change. Release dates can shift based on factors such as good behavior and time already served, while the federal system does not always provide a detailed public reason for individual sentence changes.

The administrative movement on the BOP website arrives at a critical legal moment. Combs has appealed his conviction and is scheduled to appear in court on April 9, 2026. Legal observers caution that a shift in a Bureau of Prisons projected release date carries no binding legal weight; the decisive outcome will hinge on what the appeals court rules and whether federal authorities take any further action on Combs' sentence.

E! News reached out to representatives for Combs and the Bureau of Prisons for comment but had not heard back. His legal team has previously stated that administrative changes to release dates are routine procedural matters and do not reflect judicial determinations. The pending April 9 appeal hearing will be the next significant marker in determining whether Combs' conviction and sentence hold.
