Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs is due for release from prison in early May 2028 – and the disgraced rap mogul is currently on track for an early exit.
Combs, 55, should be a free man on May 8 that year.
The date shared by the Bureau of Prisons on Monday assumes his good behavior, which would see him released after completing 85 percent of his 50 month sentence.
Diddy will have the chance to shave a fraction of his sentence off for each of the three-and-a-half years he is behind bars as part of the First Step Act aimed at rehabilitating federal prisoners.
So far, there have been no reports of bad behavior behind bars.
Diddy could even be free in time for the start of the summer season.
His celebrity and debauchery-filled annual ‘white party’ was the stuff of legend during the late 90s and 2000s, but the star will likely find most of his powerful friends have deserted him by the time he is released.
Diddy, currently serving four years behind bars for two prostitution offenses, is currently housed at Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center.

He has been stuck there since shortly after his arrest in September 2024, with that 12 months in custody awaiting trial also taken off his sentence.
On Monday, it was also revealed that Combs could soon find himself moved to another prison – although it is unclear which federal lockup the star may find himself at next.
Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison earlier this month.
Prosecutors had wanted him jailed for 11 years. His defense team asked for time served.
Earlier this month, Combs’ plea to be transferred to Fort Dix Federal Prison in New Jersey was denied.
He asked for the transfer because it is closer to his family and because the lock-up has a drug rehabilitation program.
The depraved star’s life unraveled over a series of sex parties called ‘freak offs’, which saw him transport prostitutes to have sex with his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

Footage of Diddy beating Ventura in a hotel corridor in 2016 emerged in May 2024, a few months before he was arrested.
Diddy was never charged over that incident of domestic violence but faced very serious racketeering charges that could have seen him jailed for the rest of his life.
He was cleared of those after his lawyers successfully convinced jurors that his sex life was sordid and immoral, but not illegal.
Diddy issued a groveling, tearful apology at his sentencing earlier this month as he pleaded with Judge Arun Subramanian for mercy.
‘I want to personally apologize again to Cassie Ventura for any harm or hurt I’ve caused her emotionally or physically,’ he said. ‘I don’t take that lightly.’
The disgraced rap mogul also apologized to his unnamed victim, who only went by ‘Jane’ through his trial, as he said he ‘didn’t mean to hurt you.’
Combs referenced horrific footage that emerged shortly before his arrest in summer 2024, which showed him savagely beating Ventura in the lobby of a Los Angeles hotel.
‘Domestic violence will always be a heavy burden I will forever have to carry,’ he said. ‘My actions were disgusting, shameful, and sick.’
The producer said he was ‘sick from drugs’ at the time and was ‘out of control’, admitting he was ‘lost in excess… lost in my ego.’
The 55-year-old also addressed his mother Janice Combs in the gallery and said ‘mommy, I failed you as a son’ while beginning to weep in the courtroom.
Diddy’s famously immaculate looks have been badly-affected by his ear in prison.
His black hair has gone gray, with the rapper looking frightened and haunted in court sketches drawn at his sentencing.
