Diddy’s prison release date is May 8, 2028

May 2028 has just become a pivotal month for Sean “Diddy” Combs.

New records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons show the 55-year-old hip-hop mogul is scheduled to be released from behind bars several months early, on May 8, 2028.

Combs is serving a 50-month prison sentence after being convicted of federal prostitution-related charges for transporting male escorts across state lines for drug-fueled sex with ex-girlfriends.

The once-near-billionaire rapper has been locked up in a notorious federal prison in Brooklyn since his indictment in September 2024, and the time he served there counts toward his overall sentence.

Combs’ planned release date of May 2028 would see him released approximately six months earlier than expected.

A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson told Business Insider that inmates sentenced to more than 12 months and a day receive “good behavior time” at the rate of 54 days off for each year of sentence. The spokesperson added that May 8, 2028, is Combs’ “anticipated release date of the Good Conduct Hour.”

Combs’ defense attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment. His lawyers said they would appeal the music mogul’s conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and his sentence of more than four years in prison.

In the meantime, Combs is seeking a transfer to Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution, a low-security facility in New Jersey. The prison has what’s called a residential drug program, and a lawyer for Combs previously suggested in a letter to the sentencing judge that the program would be beneficial to the recovering addict.

The judge, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, moved to recommend that Combs be considered for any drug programs available while he is incarcerated.

Combs could be able to shave up to 12 additional months off his sentence if he completes the nine-month, 500-hour intensive drug treatment program, prison consultants told Business Insider.
