Combs is serving a 50-month prison sentence after being convicted on two prostitution-related charges and was initially due to walk free in mid-2028.
The disgraced star's release date has been shifted by authorities several times. It was recently stated to be June 4, 2028 before shifting to April 25, 2028 but it has changed again and Combs is due for release on February 23, 2028, according to official records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, viewed by PEOPLE.com.
Combs, 56, has been behind bars since his arrest in September 2024 and was convicted in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
The rapper's eight-week trial last year resulted in acquittals on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, but he was convicted on prostitution-related offences.
A representative for the shamed star previously insisted Combs is using his time behind bars to take his sobriety "seriously".
The spokesperson dismissed claims Combs had been caught drinking homemade alcohol during his time in prison and insisted his client is focusing on remaining clean and sober.
Combs was transferred from Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, New York City to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey on October 30.
FCI Fort Dix is a low security facility and said to have better conditions than MDC Brooklyn, where Combs had been behind bars since his arrest on various sex crime charges in 2024.
Combs' legal team had requested he be moved to the facility in New Jersey because of its access to drug rehabilitation schemes.
US President Donald Trump previously acknowledged Combs had requested a pardon, but he is not considering granting it.
