Sean 'Diddy' Combs is in rehab behind bars, which could reduce his sentence by 1 year, his spokesman says

Sean Combs 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 is committed to sobriety, healing and trying to set an example for others, Engelmayer said.

“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.”

A federal inmate locator indicates Combs is expected to be released in May 2028. 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’s appealing.
