Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to spend even less time in prison than expected after his release date was moved forward for the second time in a little over a month.

Last year, the 56-year-old music mogul was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

He escaped more serious charges, including a racketeering charge and two sex trafficking counts. He was sentenced to 50 months in prison and fined $500,000.

He was originally expected to be released in May 2028. Since then, Combs’s legal team has repeatedly challenged the conviction, claiming he was treated unfairly at trial and that the First Amendment should win his freedom.

According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website, Combs’s release date has since moved several times. Last month, his release date was moved to February 23, 2028. According to TMZ, it is now listed as January 24, 2028.

Combs is currently incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. Last month, he was reportedly involved in an altercation with another inmate and was subsequently placed in solitary confinement.

News of Combs’s release date change comes after it was claimed that President Donald Trump is considering pardoning the musician and businessman.

The president is also reportedly considering some kind of reprieve for Prakazrel "Pras" Michel of the hip-hop group The Fugees, who is imprisoned on foreign lobbying-related violations, sources told CBS News earlier this month.

The alleged clemency considerations may be part of a larger reported effort by the White House to issue ”250 pardons for 250 years” as part of Independence Day celebrations.

The White House referred The Independent to comments Trump made this January, in which the president claimed Combs wrote him a letter seeking a pardon. The Republican told The New York Times he is not considering granting the alleged request.

The denial joins comments from last year, when the White House batted down speculation a Diddy pardon was imminent.

The president and Combs, both New York City-based businessmen who had second careers in reality TV, previously knew each other socially, though Trump has said they lost touch after he entered politics.

“I haven't seen him. I haven't spoken to him in years,” Trump said last May. “He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics, that relationship busted up, from what I read.”

Combs is currently appealing his conviction and sentence.
