On October 3, he was sentenced to 50 months in prison, including the credit for over a year he had already spent behind bars.Now, the Federal Bureau of Prisons has confirmed that Diddy could be released on May 8, 2028, which will be around 85% of his total sentence.

However, the White House denied any such claims in a statement to NBC News on October 21. They stated:"There is zero truth to the TMZ report, which we would’ve gladly explained had they reached out before running their fake news. The President, not anonymous sources, is the final decider on pardons and commutations."TMZ, meanwhile, published another report that day, asserting that they stand by their original story. Donald Trump had told the reporters on October 6 that Combs had asked him for a pardon, saying:“A lot of people have asked me for pardons. I call him Puff Daddy; he has asked me for a pardon.”Meanwhile, in an interview with Newsmax, published on August 2 this year, Trump said that giving a pardon to Combs was difficult, explaining:“You know, I was very friendly with him [Sean Combs]. I got along with him great, and he seemed like a nice guy. I didn’t know him well. But when I ran for office, he was very hostile.”The rapper's team had also confirmed in August that they had approached the White House for a pardon.Also Read: How many years has Diddy been sentenced to?
