Rapper Diddy, aka Sean Combs, will be released from prison earlier than he was originally sentenced, reports Daily Mail.
According to the media, Combs will be released from a New Jersey prison on February 23, 2028. This will put him out two months earlier than his original sentence.
This is already the third time that the man’s sentence has been shortened.
The US Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) declined to comment to the Daily Mail on the reasons behind his reduced sentence. However, the agency says that, on a general level, the sentence can be shortened, for example, due to good behavior.
USA Today According to the report, Combs had written a letter to the judge in which he said that he had survived prison for the first time in 25 years and that he had started therapy and a mentoring program for other inmates.
However, Combs’ prison life got off to an action-packed start, as it was alleged that he had been secretly enjoying pot in prison early in his sentence. Because of this, his sentence was initially extended until the beginning of June.
The rapper’s lawyers have considered the claims baseless.
A new challenge
Combs was summoned to court again at the beginning of June.
The lawsuit was filed by an anonymous former child actor who claimed Combs sexually assaulted her at an event in Hollywood in 2007.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced in October 2025 to prison for more than four years for prostitution crimes. The prosecutors had demanded a prison sentence of 11 to 14 years for him.
According to the indictments, Combs had transported sex workers across state lines to his parties, which is against US law. The so-called “Freak Offs” were also attended by Combs’ girlfriends, who, according to the defense, appeared at the party voluntarily.
Prosecutors also alleged that Combs had forced two of his ex-girlfriends to participate in sexual performances.
