Sean “Diddy” Combs is expected to complete his federal prison sentence in May 2028 unless he gets a pardon from President Donald Trump.
Bureau of Prisons online records show that the disgraced musician’s 50-month sentence for violating the Mann Act will end on May 8, 2028, according to a report by Complex.
The release date factors in the fact that Combs has already been in jail since September 2024 including federal sentencing guidelines that state that if he meets certain qualifications, he will serve only 85% of his time, the report added.
The 55-year-old music mogul has reportedly been looking to have his sentence pardoned by Trump.
Last week, the White House denied a report claiming that Trump was looking into Combs’ sentence. The response from the White House came after TMZ reported that a high-ranking White House official had informed them that Trump was “vacillating” on commuting the embattled music executive’s sentence. The source also reportedly said that Trump “will do what he wants,” and he could even commute Combs’ sentence before this week.
But, in a statement to USA TODAY last Tuesday, a White House spokesperson said there is “zero truth” to the claims in the story. “The president, not anonymous sources, is the final decider on pardons and commutations,” the official stated.
Though the White House moved to deny the report, TMZ, in an update, stated that they were standing by their initial story, and Trump was still looking into commuting Combs’ sentence.
As previously reported by Face2Face Africa, a federal judge sentenced Combs to 50 months in prison on prostitution-related charges. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian also fined him $500,000 and ordered five years of supervised release at a hearing in Manhattan federal court on October 3. Combs had faced up to 20 years behind bars.
The disgraced music executive and multi-millionaire was arrested by federal agents on September 16 last year and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has, however, maintained his innocence.
Following his conviction, Trump, 79, revealed that Combs asked him for a presidential pardon in his high-profile federal sex trafficking case.
