Music Mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs Set for May 8 2028 Release After Federal Prison Sentence
The renowned music executive and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs has been given an expected release date of May 8 2028, following his conviction and sentencing on federal charges linked to prostitution-related activity.
Combs, 55, was sentenced in early October 2025 to a prison term of 50 months (4 years and 2 months) after a jury found him guilty of two counts of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution purposes, while he was acquitted of more severe charges such as racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
The projected release date takes into account credit for time already served in custody since his arrest in September 2024, as well as “good-conduct time” reductions eligible under federal guidelines.
While the sentence represents significant accountability for the high-profile figure, his legal team has indicated an appeal of the conviction is in motion, and questions remain about the prison facility to which he will be assigned.
The release date of May 8 2028 thus marks a turning point in Combs’ legal journey — bringing into focus what will happen next for the once-dominant figure in the music industry as he serves his sentence and plans his post-incarceration path.
