*Sean “Diddy” Combs is projected to remain in federal custody until 2028, according to court records.
The 55-year-old father of seven was convicted on October 3 of two counts related to transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution, charges connected to his infamous “freak-off” gatherings. Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Combs to 50 months in federal prison, noting that he had already served 13 months at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. With credit for time served and good behavior, Combs could potentially be released in roughly two years, though his legal team has also sought a presidential commutation that could shorten his sentence even further.
According to Complex, Combs’ anticipated release date is May 8, 2028. Federal Bureau of Prisons policy allows inmates to qualify for supervised release after serving 85 percent of their term, provided they meet behavioral and program requirements. The release date was listed in BOP records, though the agency has not yet officially confirmed it.
Diddy’s lawyers issued a letter to the court asking the judge to allow the music mogul to serve his sentence at a low-security facility in New Jersey that provides substance abuse treatment. According to NBC News, defense lawyer Teny Geragos has requested that Judge Arun Subramanian consider placing Combs at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix “to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts.” The attorney also highlighted the facility’s occupational and educational offerings. The judge, however, recommended that Combs remain in New York, and he has not yet been assigned to a permanent facility.

Speculation over a potential presidential pardon has continued since reports surfaced that Combs personally appealed to former President Donald Trump. “I got along with him great,” Trump told Newsmax. “Seemed like a nice guy. I didn’t know him well. But when I ran for office, he was very hostile. … It’s hard.”
“We’re human beings,” Trump added. “We don’t like to have things cloud our judgment, right? But when you knew someone and you were fine and then you run for office and he made some terrible statements. So, I don’t know. It’s more difficult. Makes it more, I’m being honest, makes it more difficult to do.”
Before sentencing, Combs submitted a letter to the court apologizing for his past conduct. “I want to apologize and say how sincerely sorry I am for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused others by my conduct,” he wrote.
