Diddy has prison release date moved forward
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is set to be released from prison a bit earlier than expected.
The disgraced music producer and rapper is currently serving a 50-month sentence for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution at New Jersey's FCI Fort Dix.
Combs, 56, was found guilty last year and was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force and fraud or coercion.
Page Six reports that the mogul's prison release date has been moved up from 4 June, 2028, to 25 April 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Prison release dates are sometimes moved forward due to capacity issues or as an incentive for individual rehabilitation.
Inmates can 'earn' their way to an earlier release date by completing education, training, or work assignments.
It comes after Combs' representatives denied rumours that he drank homemade alcohol in November.
"He has not violated any prison rules," his reps said.
"His sobriety and self-discipline are priorities, and he is taking them seriously.
"We ask the public and the press to give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth, and the grace to move forward in peace."
Combs apologised to domestic abuse victims Cassie Ventura and 'Jane' at his sentencing in October.
"Domestic violence will always be a heavy burden that I will have to forever carry," he said.
"My actions were disgusting, shameful and sick. I was sick, sick from the drugs, I was out of control, I needed help and I didn't get the help, and I cannot make no excuse."
“I am just a human being, I was trying my best, I got lost in my excess and lost in my ego," he continued. "Because of my decision, I lost my freedom and the opportunity to raise my children and be there for my mother," the father-of-seven added.
"I lost all of my businesses and lost my career and destroyed my reputation and, most of all, I lost my self-respect.
"I have been humbled and broken to my core. I hate myself right now. I’ve been stripped down to nothing."
Referring to his time in jail as a blessing, he said: "Over the past year, there have been so many times that I wanted to give up. There have been some days I thought I would be better off dead. The old me died in jail, and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you — I choose to live."
