Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal prison release date has changed once again.
Diddy, 56, is now expected to leave prison Feb. 20, 2028, nearly one month after his previously scheduled release date, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Diddy’s release date has changed multiple times since he began serving his sentence.
According to multiple reports, the disgraced rap mogul was reportedly sent to solitary confinement last month after a prison fight with another inmate.

The incident began after a fellow inmate “made a remark to Combs, which instigated the event” at FCI Fort Dix, ABC News reported at the time.
Diddy was then reportedly sent to solitary confinement, the outlet noted. It’s unclear if his release date was delayed due to the reported fight.

Diddy’s representatives declined Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
In September 2024, the “Last Night” singer was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges after months of sexual misconduct allegations, lawsuits, investigations and the release of surveillance video that appeared to show the rapper severely beating then-girlfriend Cassie in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel.
He was sentenced to more than four years behind bars in October after being convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Diddy initially faced a maximum of life in prison if convicted on charges that included racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
A jury convicted Diddy on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution July 2, 2025. The “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper was acquitted of the most serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.
In addition to the 50-month sentence, Diddy was ordered to serve five years of supervised release and pay a $500,000 fine. The prosecution recommended 135 months (just over 11 years) for his sentencing.
