An update has emerged regarding the sentencing of Sean “Diddy” Combs, months after he received a prison term of more than four years last October.
Combs was arrested in September 2024 and faced multiple allegations, including sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, as well as racketeering conspiracy.
In the end, he was convicted on two counts of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution, while being cleared of the remaining charges.
Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced him to 50 months in prison. Combs has been serving the term at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Facility in New Jersey, a facility reported to hold around 4,000 inmates.
According to an updated listing on the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ public website, Combs is now expected to leave custody more than a month earlier than previously scheduled, as first reported by Page Six.
His release had been set for June 4, 2028, but it is now listed as April 25, 2028, according to the Bureau of Prisons.
The 56-year-old entered a drug-abuse rehabilitation program in November, a move that can sometimes reduce the amount of time an inmate spends in prison.
“Mr. Combs is an active participant in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) and has taken his rehabilitation process seriously from the start. He is fully engaged in his work, focused on growth, and committed to positive change.”
Elsewhere, Donald Trump has previously been asked whether he would consider granting Combs a pardon, after Combs reportedly sent the president a personal letter requesting one.
“I haven’t seen him, I haven’t spoken to him for years… I don’t know. I would certainly look at the facts.
“If I think somebody was mistreated it wouldn’t matter whether they like me or don’t.
“I got along with him great. Seemed like a nice guy. I didn’t know him well. But when I ran for office, he was very hostile. … It’s hard.”
“We’re human beings. We don’t like to have things cloud our judgment, right? But when you knew someone and you were fine and then you run for office and he made some terrible statements.
“So, I don’t know. It’s more difficult. Makes it more, I’m being honest, makes it more difficult to do.”
Combs is said to have sent the letter less than three months after beginning his prison sentence.
