AceShowbiz - Sean "Diddy" Combs is set to be released from prison earlier than originally scheduled as he pursues an appeal against his four-year sentence.

According to information obtained from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Sean "Diddy" Combs's release date has been moved forward from June 4, 2028, to April 25, 2028. This adjustment follows his enrollment in a drug-abuse rehabilitation program last November, which may contribute to a reduced sentence.

A representative for Sean "Diddy" Combs stated at the time of his acceptance into the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), "Mr. Combs is an active participant in the Residential Drug Abuse Program 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."

Requests for further comments from Sean "Diddy" Combs's lawyer and representatives were not immediately returned by Page Six.

This is not the first modification to Sean "Diddy" Combs's prison release timeline. While serving his sentence at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institute in New Jersey, his release date was previously extended from May 8, 2028, to June 4, 2028, following reported violations of prison rules.

Reports from TMZ in November 2025 revealed that Sean "Diddy" Combs had run afoul of prison officials due to the consumption of "homemade alcohol." Further CBS News coverage noted an additional infraction involving an unauthorized three-way phone call, which is prohibited by prison regulations.

The music mogul claimed he was unaware that "third party or three-way calls are not authorized." His representative defended the call as a "procedural call" protected under attorney-client privilege, denying any misconduct.

The updated release date coincides with legal moves by Sean "Diddy" Combs, who filed an appeal against his four-year sentence in December. The appeal requests his immediate release and either a reversal of the conviction or a reduction of the sentence, as outlined in court documents.

In these filings, Sean "Diddy" Combs and his legal team argue that prosecutors failed to sufficiently prove their case. Additionally, his lawyer contends that the judge imposed a sentence that violates constitutional rights by being excessively harsh.

Prosecutors responded to the appeal in February, opposing the request for release and sentence reconsideration.

Sean "Diddy" Combs has been in custody since his arrest in September 2024. He faced charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

After a two-month trial, Sean "Diddy" Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but was acquitted of the other charges.
