Sean “Diddy” Combs’ prison release delayed to Feb 20 2028 after jail fight

Sean “Diddy” Combs is serving a 50‑month federal sentence for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He is incarcerated at the low‑security Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey. The Federal Bureau of Prisons has repeatedly adjusted his projected release date; the latest update moves it to February 20, 2028, after a reported altercation with another inmate that resulted in his placement in solitary confinement.

The fight, reported by TMZ and other outlets, occurred in July and prompted prison staff to separate the men. No official explanation has been given for the new delay, though the timing follows the disciplinary incident. In addition to the release‑date change, federal authorities have seized $9,000 in cash and multiple electronic devices from Combs during a 2024 raid on his Los Angeles residence, as ordered by Judge Arun Subramanian.

Combs’ legal team continues to appeal his conviction and sentence, arguing the punishment is excessive. He remains enrolled in a drug‑abuse rehabilitation program at FCI Fort Dix, which could potentially reduce his term.
