The music mogul was sentenced to 50 months in prison and is expected to be released in May 2028
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is reportedly participating in a drug rehabilitation program in prison which could reduce his sentence by as much as a year, his spokesman Juda Engelmayer stated.
The music mogul was sentenced to 50 months in prison for two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution on October 3. He is expected to be released in May 2028.
“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, adding that, “he is fully engaged in his work, focused on growth, and committed to positive change”.
A successful completion of the rehab program could mean an earlier release, though Diddy will still be subject to five years of supervision along with drug testing and mental health meetings prescribed under his sentence.
The program is offered at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix which is a low-security federal prison in New Jersey, where Diddy arrived on October 30th.
Engelmayer also revealed that the rapper has been working in the chapel library at the prison “where he describes the environment as warm, respectful, and rewarding”.
The news comes after TMZ reported that the Diddy got into ttrouble with authorities after allegedly drinking behind bars.
However, the rapper’s X account on Monday dismissed such reported as false adding that, “his only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family.”
