Sean 'Diddy' Combs will become a free man even sooner than expected as his prison release has been moved up yet again.

The 56-year-old disgraced hip hop mogul's new discharge date from New Jersey's Federal Correctional Institution (FCI), Fort Dix is now February 5, 2028 according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Just last month, the date had been changed once again, following his recent prison brawl as it was moved to February 20, 2028.

The date keeps fluctuating as that change came just days after his release date was moved up from February to January.

A jury found Diddy guilty of two counts of transporting prostitutes across state lines for the purpose of sex at his 2025 federal trial. He was acquitted by the jury on the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

A judge sentenced the rapper to four years and two months in prison as the sentence began in October 2025. 

Meanwhile, Diddy's release date has moved a number of times since he started serving his 50-month sentence, after his conviction on two prostitution charges back in October 2025. 

He was originally set to be released in the summer before the date moved up to April, then February, then January and now back to February. 

The reason for the changes have not been clear as his January release was set after he was put into solitary confinement following his prison fight. 

The Daily Mail reached out to Diddy's representatives for comment at the time. 

Just days prior it was revealed that Diddy had his release date moved a month earlier, in spite of a prison brawl that landed him in solitary confinement.

After a hotly publicized trial, the rap mogul was acquitted July 2025 of the most serious charges against him, sex trafficking and racketeering, but was found guilty on two lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Although his sentence was initially scheduled to end on May 8, 2028, his release was pushed back to June 4, 2028 over allegations denied by his attorney that Diddy drank moonshine and made an unauthorized three-way phone call.

He was granted a reprieve last October when the date was moved to April 25, 2028 owing to the FIRST STEP Act, a prison reform law from Donald Trump's first presidency that was famously championed by Kim Kardashian and has resulted in the early release of tens of thousands of criminals.
