Diddy’s Prison Release Date Moves Back Again
Sean “Diddy” Combs will now remain behind bars a little longer.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the music mogul’s projected release date has been pushed back to Feb. 20, 2028, reversing a recent update that had moved his release to January 2028.
The latest change comes after Diddy was reportedly placed in solitary confinement following a fight with another inmate at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. Authorities have not publicly explained why his projected release date has shifted several times in recent weeks.
Since his sentencing, Diddy’s expected release has fluctuated from summer 2028 to April, then February, then January, before returning to February.

New Police Records Surface in Sidney Starr Case

According to Atlanta News First, investigators allege Starr, born Sidney Favors, admitted during questioning to engaging in sexual activity with a 14-year-old boy while claiming the encounter was consensual.
Following the report, Starr publicly denied sexually assaulting the minor.
Starr remains in custody at the Fulton County Jail while the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office handles the prosecution.
The former “Love & Hip Hop” personality has been charged with sexual battery against a child under 16, aggravated child molestation and sodomy.
The allegations remain pending, and Starr is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
