Diddy’s Prison Release Delayed Again After Reported Prison Fight Lands Him in Solitary Confinement

Sean “Diddy” Combs will reportedly remain behind bars longer than expected after federal prison records showed his projected release date has been pushed back by nearly a month.

According to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons, the music mogul is now scheduled to be released on February 20, 2028, instead of the previously listed January 24, 2028. The latest revision marks yet another change to Combs’ expected release date since he began serving his sentence.

The update comes just weeks after multiple reports claimed Combs was involved in a physical altercation with another inmate at FCI Fort Dix, the low-security federal prison in New Jersey where he is serving his sentence.

According to sources familiar with the incident, the fight reportedly began after another inmate made insulting remarks toward Combs. The confrontation was quickly broken up by prison staff, and Combs was subsequently placed in solitary confinement as part of the facility’s disciplinary procedures. Federal prison officials declined to comment on the specifics, citing privacy and security policies.

Although the Bureau of Prisons has not officially confirmed that the release date change was directly caused by the incident, the timing has fueled widespread speculation that the disciplinary action may have affected his projected release. Officials have not publicly explained the latest adjustment.

Combs is currently serving a 50-month federal sentence after being convicted in 2025 on two counts related to the transportation of individuals for prostitution. He was acquitted of the more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, which could have resulted in a life sentence. His legal team continues to appeal both the conviction and the sentence.

Since entering federal custody, Combs’ projected release date has changed multiple times. Earlier revisions had actually moved his release closer, partly due to sentence calculations and his participation in a prison drug rehabilitation program. The latest update, however, reverses that trend, pushing his expected release nearly four weeks later.
