Diddy’s Jail Release Date Officially Postponed After Brutal Prison Injury

Diddy was taken to the hospital this weekend after sustaining an injury at FCI Fort Dix, where he is currently serving time. According to Deadline, his release date has now been pushed back by almost two months. Federal prison records show (via the Los Angeles Times) that the disgraced music mogul was previously expected to get out by January 21, 2028.

However, following the latest sanction of over 40 days, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is now set to be released from prison on March 2, 2028. He was sentenced to a 50-month sentence in September 2025 after being convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The postponement comes after he recently faced solitary confinement for sneaking contraband.

According to TMZ, on October 10, Diddy was taken to a hospital near Fort Dix after sustaining a head injury. However, it has not been revealed how he was injured inside the prison. Deadline noted that the Bad Boy Records founder was returned to Fort Dix late on the same day. The Bureau of Prisons (BoP) refrained from sharing additional information, noting, “For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including quarters assignment or medical status.”

Meanwhile, a representative for P Diddy told Deadline, “We are aware of the reports concerning Sean Combs and are working to confirm the circumstances. Sean’s health and well-being are our immediate concern, and we appreciate everyone who has reached out.”

The BoP told the outlet in early October that the disgraced music producer would be facing “serious consequences” for sneaking a smartphone and fine liquor into Fort Dix, reportedly by paying staff or other inmates. He was subsequently placed in solitary confinement. However, it remains unclear whether he had returned to the general prison population when he sustained the head injury.

Diddy dramatically avoided conviction on the more serious charges prosecutors brought against him, including s*x trafficking and racketeering conspiracy linked to alleged freak-offs. He also faced allegations of assaulting Cassie Ventura and other misconduct. Had he been convicted of all the charges, he could have faced a life sentence.
