According to latest reports, former music mogul, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ four-year sentence will end early after being convicted on prostitution-related charges last year
Disgraced musician Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is currently serving a four-year sentence after being convicted on prostitution-related charges, will be released early, according to reports.
Amid his battle to appeal his four-year sentence, the rapper will reportedly walk free in April 2028, a month and a half earlier than his previous release date, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons records reportedly obtained by Page Six.
The 56-year-old is currently in a special drug treatment unit and is only eligible for release in 2028. Diddy was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking at a trial that ended in July. Combs was convicted under the Mann Act, which bans transporting people across state lines for any sexual crime.

The former music mogul, 56, is currently behind bars at FCI Fort Dix, having been transferred from MDC-Brooklyn in October. A representative for the rapper said at the time that Diddy ‘is an active participant in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP)’ and takes the process ‘seriously’.
They claimed: “He is fully engaged in his work, focused on growth, and committed to positive change”, reports The Sun.
This isn’t the first time that the disgraced musician’s release date has been allegedly changed, as his sentence was initially reported to end on May 8, 2028, before being moved to June last November after he allegedly broke prison rules.
It was alleged that Diddy drank homemade alcohol and took part in a forbidden three-way phone call, reports The Sun.
Diddy’s team quickly defended the phone call and claimed it was protected under attorney-client privilege and that Diddy was ‘working on himself, and doing better each day’.
His spokesperson told Page Six: “As with any high-profile individual in a new environment, there will be many rumors and exaggerated stories throughout his time there—most of them untrue. We ask that people give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth with grace and purpose.”
Ahead of his sentencing last year, Diddy wrote a four-page apology letter to the judge, where he claimed: “I literally lost my mind. I’m sorry for that and always will be… I lost my way. My downfall was rooted in my selfishness.
“I have been humbled and broken to my core… The old me died in jail and a new version of me was born. Prison will change you or kill you – I choose to live.”
In December, Diddy’s lawyers pleaded with an appeals court to release him from prison. The lawyers claimed in a filing with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan that Combs was treated harshly at sentencing by a federal judge who let evidence surrounding charges he was acquitted of unjustly influence the punishment.
At sentencing, Judge Arun Subramanian said that when calculating the prison term, he considered Combs’ treatment of two former girlfriends who testified that the Bad Boy Records founder beat them and coerced them into having sex with male sex workers while he watched and filmed the encounters, sometimes masturbating.
