Sean "Diddy" Combs will remain behind bars until at least 2028, new court records show.
According to a report Complex published on Sunday, October 26, the imprisoned mogul is expected to complete his 50-month sentence on May 8, 2028. This timeframe includes time served for the year he was held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Federal rules state that Combs can qualify for supervised release if he completes specific requirements and at least 85 percent of his sentence. The date was revealed in records on the Federal Bureau of Prisons' website, however, the BOP has yet to confirm the information themselves.
The Bad Boy Records founder was sentenced to four years and two months in prison after he was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution involving his ex-girlfriends, Cassie and "Jane." His attorneys made several unsuccessful attempts to overturn his conviction before he was sentenced. They also requested for him to serve his sentence at a low-security facility in New Jersey. However, Judge Arun Subramanian recommended that Combs remain in New York. As of this report, the artist has not been assigned to a facility.
This all depends on whether President Donald Trump will pardon Combs. The 55-year-old artist has reportedly requested a presidential pardon. After Trump addressed the request in interviews, TMZ reported that POTUS considered commuting Combs' sentence against the wishes of several staff members.
"I got along with him great," Trump told Newsmax. "Seemed like a nice guy. I didn't know him well. But when I ran for office, he was very hostile. ... It's hard."
"We're human beings," he continued. "We don't like to have things cloud our judgment, right? But when you knew someone and you were fine and then you run for office and he made some terrible statements. So, I don't know. It's more difficult. Makes it more, I'm being honest, makes it more difficult to do."
The White House later shot down the report saying "The president, not anonymous sources, is the final decider on pardons and commutations." However, TMZ has stuck to its reporting.
