Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ prison release date pushed back after rapper allegedly violates multiple rules
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ prison release date has been bumped back an extra month.
The embattled music mogul was initially expected to finish serving time at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institute in New Jersey on May 8, 2028.
However, Page Six confirmed on Wednesday that his release has been pushed to June 4, 2028.
While the reason behind the adjusted date remains unclear, it comes on the heels of the rapper making headlines for allegedly violating multiple prison rules.
Combs’ rep and the Bureau of Federal Prisons have yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Last week, TMZ reported that Combs was in “trouble with prison officials” for consuming “homemade alcohol” made of fermented sugar, Fanta soda and apples.
Combs’ spokesperson told Page Six last week that the Grammy winner was “in his first week at FCI Fort Dix [after being transferred from Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center] and … focused on adjusting, working on himself and doing better each day.”
The rep continued, “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.”
On Friday, CBS News reported that Combs had been busted again for allegedly participating in a prohibited three-way phone call.
The alleged conversation reportedly took place on Nov. 3, four days before Combs was transferred to the low-security New Jersey prison, where he displayed gray hair in a new mug shot.
Combs claimed to have not known that “third party or three-way calls are not authorized” as he was not given the prison admission and orientation handbook.
His rep denied the “procedural call” was “improper” because it was “protected under attorney-client privilege.”
Combs has been behind bars since his September 2024 arrest when he was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The songwriter’s trial kicked off in May, with Combs being found guilty two months later on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution — but was acquitted of the more serious charges.
In October, he was sentenced to four years and two months in prison.
Additionally, Combs was ordered to pay a $500,000 court fine and participate in mental health and substance abuse programs.
