Disgraced mogul is now scheduled for release on April 25, 2028. He’s currently serving a 50-month sentence for prostitution-related charges
Sean Combs’ release from prison has been bumped up by more than five weeks, with the music executive now expected to return home by April 25, 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ website.
The 56-year-old is currently serving out a 50-month sentence for his conviction on two counts of prostitution-related charges at Fort Dix, a low-security federal correctional facility in New Jersey.
Combs’ release date has fluctuated since his arrival at Fort Dix last October. It was initially set for May 8, 2028, but then in November 2025, the date was pushed back to June 4, 2028, according to the BOP’s website. (Around the time, CBS and TMZ reported that Combs had violated at least two prison rules, which his team denied. A representative for Combs declined to comment.)
The Bad Boy founder has been imprisoned since his September 2024 arrest. The music mogul was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The alleged offenses related to so-called “freak-offs” that he had with his girlfriends — including Casandra “Cassie” Ventura — and male escorts.
Last summer, following a seven-week high-profile trial where Combs maintained his innocence, the music mogul was acquitted of the most serious charges. He is currently appealing his sentencing, as well as challenging the very law that he was charged under. A hearing is scheduled for April.
In the interim, Combs spends his days working in the prison’s chapel library and has also enrolled in an intensive drug treatment program, RDAP, which upon completion, can shave up to one year off inmates’ prison sentences. “He’s taking his time there seriously and working every day toward healing and coming home,” a spokesperson previously told Rolling Stone.
