Diddy Sentenced to 50 Months in Prison, Set for Release in May 2028

Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sentenced to 50 months in federal prison, with an official release date set for May 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The former Bad Boy Records CEO was convicted earlier this month on two prostitution-related charges, while being acquitted of more serious allegations including sex trafficking and racketeering.

Combs’ legal team has filed a notice of appeal, seeking to overturn both the convictions and the prison term. The appeal is now pending in the Federal District Court of New York. The case followed an eight-week trial that concluded in July, producing a mixed verdict from the jury.

The sentencing represents a major setback for Combs, whose career spans music, fashion, and television. Observers note that his incarceration is likely to have lasting implications for his business ventures and personal brand, marking a dramatic moment in the entertainment industry.
