Sean "Diddy" Combs' release date extended after prison violations and hospital visit

Sean "Diddy" Combs, founder of Bad Boy Records, will now leave the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix on March 2, 2028, after the Bureau of Prisons added more than 40 days to his sentence for multiple rule violations. The singer-songwriter was originally scheduled to be released on January 21, 2028 following a 50-month term imposed in September 2025 for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Bureau of Prisons officials said Combs faced disciplinary action after authorities discovered a smartphone, alcohol, and a paid staff of other inmates in his possession. He was placed in solitary confinement pending investigation, and the timing of his return to the general population has not been disclosed.

On October 10, Combs was transported from Fort Dix to a nearby hospital after sustaining a head injury. Details about the incident have not been released, and the Bureau of Prisons did not respond to inquiries about his medical condition.

"We are aware of the reports concerning Sean Combs and are working to confirm the circumstances," said spokesperson Juda Engelmayer. "Sean’s health and well-being are our immediate concern, and we appreciate everyone who has reached out."

The extension of his release date reflects the prison's disciplinary process and ongoing health concerns.
