Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison following his conviction on two counts of transporting people for prostitution – but this time could be reduced
It seems Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs is planning on turning a new leaf, and it could pay off massively.
The disgraced music mogul, who celebrated his birthday earlier this month, is participating in a drug rehabilitation program behind bars that could reduce his sentence by as much as a year, his spokesman Juda Engelmayer said. The founder of Bad Boy Entertainment, who was jailed for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, is committed to sobriety, healing, and trying to set an example for others.
“Mr. Combs is an active participant in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) and has taken his rehabilitation process seriously from the start,” Engelmayer said.

“He is fully engaged in his work, focused on growth, and committed to positive change,” he added. A federal inmate locator indicates Combs is expected to be released in May 2028.
However, successfully completing the rehab program could mean an earlier release, though he would still face five years of supervision, as well as drug testing and mental health meetings prescribed under his sentence, which he is currently appealing.
While prosecutors had sought a sentence of more than 11 years, he was instead sentenced to 50 months in prison on October 3. He received credit for 14 months of time served before sentencing.
The rehabilitation program is provided at Combs’ newest home, also known as the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix — a low-security federal prison in New Jersey, where he arrived on October 30th, Engelmayer said.
Combs has been accepted into the program and is working in the chapel library there, the spokesman went on. “He works in the chapel library, where he describes the environment as warm, respectful, and rewarding,” he added.
It comes after TMZ reported that the disgraced music mogul was allegedly drinking behind bars and got in trouble with prison officials.
Sources claim Combs’ alcohol was made of Fanta, sugar and apples, the last of which inmates give two weeks to ferment into an alcoholic substance.
This was shut down via a statement posted to Combs’ X account on Monday, which said, “The rumors claiming Mr. Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false. His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family.”
During the trial, ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura testified that Combs used violence to coerce her into participating in so-called freak-offs, drug-fueled sex parties with sex workers he hired. Afterward, she testified, she felt “disgusted” and “humiliated.”
At Combs’ sentencing, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said Combs “abused the power and control with women you professed to love.”
Combs apologized to Ventura and another former girlfriend, describing his actions as “disgusting, shameful and sick.”
