The star's projected release is now months earlier than it was last year — and he's fighting an appeal that could move it up even further.

Sean “Diddy” Combs could be home from prison earlier than expected, according to federal inmate records that show his release date has been moved up.

Diddy, 56, is now expected to be set free on Feb. 5, 2028, according to records posted by the federal Bureau of Prisons reviewed by Billboard. That’s a few weeks earlier than recent projections, and months earlier than the June 2028 release date posted in November.
