Sean "Diddy" Combs' release date from prison has been pushed back to June 4, 2028, according to the Bureau of Prisons. The change comes after reports surfaced that Combs allegedly violated multiple prison rules by making a homemade three-way phone call and possessing alcohol made from Fanta soda.
Combs was sentenced to four years in prison in July for federal prostitution charges, with an initial projected release date of May 8, 2028. However, the Bureau of Prisons has now revised his expected release date, citing calculations based on prisoner projections. The reason behind the change is unclear, as the Bureau typically releases updated dates after conducting regular reviews.
Combs' lawyers deny any wrongdoing in connection with the allegations. The singer's family also denied reports that he was found with homemade alcohol made from Fanta soda and sugar during his incarceration at a New Jersey federal correctional facility. A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on Combs' case, citing privacy and security concerns.
Combs was previously convicted on two lesser counts related to sex trafficking and racketeering charges, but acquitted of more serious charges that could have seen him sentenced to life in prison. He is currently appealing both his convictions and sentence, which could potentially result in an earlier release date if successful.
The Bureau's revised estimate suggests Combs will likely serve at least some time before the appeals process determines the outcome of his case. Additionally, Combs has sought a pardon from President Donald Trump, but the White House has denied any consideration for such a move.
