What is Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ new release date?
According to Page Six, Combs’ projected release date changed from Feb. 23, 2028 to Jan. 24, 2028. That is a one-month move earlier, not later, after the reported prison fight.
Combs, 56, is serving a four-year term at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey. In October 2025, he was sentenced to 50 months on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. His representative had no comment for Page Six on the revised date.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmation is what locked in the public Jan. 24, 2028 figure after the fight reports circulated.
Why was Combs placed in solitary confinement?
Page Six reported that Combs was recently put in solitary confinement after an altercation with another inmate. TMZ previously reported that the fight followed a heated exchange after he was dissed, and that prison staff separated the men during the clash.
An insider claimed Combs "held his own" in the incident. An FCI Fort Dix representative told TMZ the facility would not disclose internal inmate information for the public domain.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons also declined to comment on disciplinary matters involving individual inmates, citing privacy, safety, and security concerns.
How has Combs’ release date changed before?
His release calendar has not stayed fixed. An initial May 8, 2028 date was pushed to June 4, 2028 in November 2025 after he allegedly violated multiple prison rules, including reports of consuming homemade alcohol and taking part in a prohibited three-way phone call.
Combs claimed he did not know third-party or three-way calls were unauthorized. The date later moved forward again to Feb. 23, 2028 before the latest change to Jan. 24, 2028 after the fight coverage.
Combs has been imprisoned since his September 2024 arrest. A jury found him guilty on two prostitution-transportation counts and acquitted him of racketeering and sex-trafficking charges. He filed to appeal the four-year sentence in December, seeking release or a reduced term; prosecutors opposed that request in February.
