  • On October 27, the Bureau of Prisons updated Sean 'Diddy' Combs's file, revealing an expected release from the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn, NY, on May 8, 2028.

  • PEOPLE notes social-media commenters reacted with speculation that Diddy might be home sooner, with comments like 'home next year' and 'He'll Be Home Before Christmas.
