Sean “Diddy” Combs will remain behind bars longer than expected after the Federal Bureau of Prisons quietly pushed his release date from May 8, 2028, to June 4, 2028, nearly a month later.

The update follows reports that the disgraced music mogul, 56, violated multiple prison rules while serving his 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security facility in New Jersey. Though no official reason has been given, the date change coincides with claims that Combs was caught consuming homemade alcohol and making an unauthorized three-way phone call, both infractions under Bureau policy.

According to TMZ, Combs was allegedly found with a fermented mixture of Fanta, sugar, and apples just days after arriving at the facility in late October. Prison officials reportedly considered moving him to another unit but ultimately decided against it. His spokesperson dismissed the claims as “false and reckless,” insisting the rapper “has not violated any prison rules” and remains focused on “sobriety and self-discipline.”

Days later, CBS News reported that Combs participated in a three-way call, a clear breach of prison communication rules. His team countered that the conversation was initiated by an attorney and thus protected under client privilege.

Combs’ representatives maintain he is adapting well to prison life, working in the chapel library and taking part in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), which could potentially reduce his sentence by up to a year. “He is fully engaged in his rehabilitation process and committed to personal growth,” his publicist Juda Engelmayer told PEOPLE.

Convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, Combs was sentenced in October after being acquitted of separate sex trafficking and racketeering charges. His attorneys plan to appeal, accusing Judge Arun Subramanian of “acting as a 13th juror.”

For now, the Bad Boy Records founder remains at Fort Dix, a man once defined by excess, now living under the rigid structure of federal confinement.
