Diddy's prison release date changed AGAIN just days after it was moved following prison brawl

Sean 'Diddy' Combs's prison release date has been changed once again, following his recent prison brawl.

The disgraced hip hop mogul, 56, is now set to get out of New Jersey's Federal Correctional Institution (FCI), Fort Dix on February 20, 2028 according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

The latest change comes just days after his release date was moved up from February to January.

Diddy's release date has moved a number of times since he started serving his 50-month sentence, after his conviction on two prostitution charges back in October 2025. 

He was originally set to be released in the summer before the date moved up to April, then February, then January and now back to February. 

The reason for the latest change is not clear as his January release was set after he was put into solitary confinement following his prison fight. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to Diddy's representatives for comment. 

Just days prior it was revealed that Diddy had his release date moved a month earlier, in spite of a prison brawl that landed him in solitary confinement.

After a hotly publicized trial, the rap mogul was acquitted last July of the most serious charges against him, sex trafficking and racketeering, but was found guilty on two lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Although his sentence was initially scheduled to end on May 8, 2028, his release was pushed back to June 4, 2028 over allegations denied by his attorney that Diddy drank moonshine and made an unauthorized three-way phone call.

He was granted a reprieve last October when the date was moved to April 25, 2028 owing to the FIRST STEP Act, a prison reform law from Donald Trump's first presidency that was famously championed by Kim Kardashian and has resulted in the early release of tens of thousands of criminals.

The date was later adjusted to April 15, 2028, and last month it emerged his sentence had been slashed again to conclude February 23, 2028.

Then another change had been made, and Diddy was slated to emerge from jail on January 24, 2028.

In response to an inquiry from the Daily Mail, the Federal Bureau of Prisons stated: 'For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including release plans or specifics regarding why a release date changes.'

News of the modification circulated a week after Diddy got into a fight with another inmate at Fort Dix.

Multiple sources claimed Diddy lashed out at the other inmate after he insulted the rap mogul, according to TMZ.

A spokesman for FCI Fort Dix declined to share information about the alleged incident.

'For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not release information regarding the conditions of confinement for any inmate, including housing assignments, nor do we discuss whether a particular inmate is the subject of allegations, investigations, or sanctions,' the representative told the Daily Mail.

Sources claimed that Diddy and the other inmate began pushing each other at first, before punches started flying between the two.

Diddy was said to have 'held his own' in the fight, though guards quickly separated the men and Diddy was reportedly sent to solitary confinement in response to the brawl.

Diddy has reportedly had several infractions at the New Jersey prison since he was transferred there on October 30.

Last year he was reportedly caught consuming a concoction of fermented Fanta, sugar and apples, sources told TMZ, though the rapper's representatives have denied the claims.

'The rumors claiming Mr. Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false,' a statement on the Bad Boy Entertainment founder's X account read.

'His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family.'

A spokesperson for the I'll Be Missing You artist also insisted to the Daily Mail that he 'has not violated any prison rules,' and is instead focused on keeping clean while serving his sentence.

'His sobriety and self-discipline are priorities,' the spokesperson said, 'and he is taking them seriously.'

Diddy's representative also noted that 'this is only his first week at FCI Fort Dix, and unfortunately, rumors will surface throughout his time there.'

'We ask the public and the press to give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth, and the grace to move forward in peace.'

Just a few days later, however, Combs reportedly got into trouble for making a three-way call in violation of prison rules.

But Diddy said he was simply speaking with his lawyer, who added the head of legal communications who was working on a statement for his approval to be sent to The New York Times.

Following his time in prison, the judge sentenced Combs to another five years of supervised release.

Judge Arun Subramanian said a lengthy sentence was needed for deterrence and that he was unconvinced that if Combs is released these crimes won't happen again.

The judge condemned Diddy for his 'savage' abuse of his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and said he was making an example of him because he caused 'irreparable harm' to his victims.
