Diddy's Prison Release Pushed Back to March 2028

Bureau of Prisons records now list Diddy's Fort Dix release as March 2, 2028, pushed back from Jan. 21 after an NBC News report alleged he had contraband inside. The BOP won't say why; his team says they're never told.

Diddy is staying locked up longer than the last date said.

Federal Bureau of Prisons records now list Sean "Diddy" Combs' release from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey as March 2, 2028, according to People and Us Weekly. The date had been listed as Jan. 21, 2028.

The change comes after an NBC News report alleged Combs had contraband inside, including a cellphone he used for Instagram, a "jailbroken" tablet and premium cognac. Those are allegations. He has not been charged with anything new.

The BOP told People it does not comment on conditions of confinement, "including reasons for a change in release date." A Combs spokesperson told Us Weekly, "We are never given any explanation for how the BOP calculates or adjusts projected release dates, so we cannot speak to the reason for any change."

People says Combs remains in solitary confinement.

Combs is serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of the more serious charges at his New York trial and is appealing.

Do you think the date moves again?
