Sean "Diddy" Combs' release date from prison has once again been adjusted, much to the surprise of many. The rap mogul, who is currently serving a 50-month sentence for convictions on two prostitution-related charges, will now be released on April 15, 2028, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons records obtained by E! News.
Combs' new release date is 10 days earlier than his previously updated release date, which was moved from June 4, 2028, to April 25, 2028, earlier this month. He has been serving time at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution, a low-security prison located in New Jersey, since late October.
E! News has reached out to Combs' representatives and the Bureau of Prisons for comment but has not received a response.
In October, the Bad Boy Records founder, now 56 years old, was sentenced to over four years in prison with time served, plus five years of supervised release and a fine of $500,000. The judge presiding over the case explained the reasoning behind the sentence length at the time, stating that prosecutors' proposal of 135 months was more than what would be "necessary," but the defense's request of 14 months "would not be sufficient," per NBC News.
Before his sentencing, the rapper expressed his remorse for his past deeds. "My actions were disgusting, shameful, and sickening," Combs said in court, per NBC News. "I was sick from the drugs, I was out of control, I needed help and I didn't get it." He continued, "I lost my self-respect. I have been humbled and broken to my core. I hate myself right now; I've been stripped down to nothing. I am truly sorry for it all, no matter what they say."
In recent days, fellow musician Usher spoke about the "legacy" Combs has created in the music industry. "In many ways, I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer," the "Burn" singer told Forbes in an interview published on March 20. "I don't have anything negative to say about Sean Combs because my experience was not what the world has seen and how he's been misrepresented."
He added, "I'm not saying that all of us don't have flaws. But I can't with any sense of humanity not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made for us as Black entrepreneurs, for us as businessmen, for us as people who have transitioned culture and ideas into something tangible."
