Diddy’s Family Prays for Christmas Early Release Despite Prison Setback

Updated :  Wednesday, November 26, 2025 7:22 AM

Sean “Diddy” Combs remains behind bars at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey, but his family is holding out hope for a holiday miracle. The music mogul’s projected release date is currently set for June 4, 2028, yet his son Christian “King” Combs has publicly expressed optimism for an early return home by Christmas.

Family’s Hope for Early Release

Speaking to media at LAX, King Combs said the family is keeping their fingers crossed for a holiday homecoming. Despite official denials of a presidential pardon, the Combs family continues to show unwavering support for Diddy.

Legal Sentence and Setbacks

Diddy was convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of more serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced him to just over four years.

His release date was recently extended from May to June 2028 after reported violations of prison rules. The Bureau of Prisons confirmed the change, complicating hopes for an early release.

Family’s Public Support

Throughout the legal process, the Combs family has stood firmly by Diddy. King Combs even wrote an emotional letter to the judge before sentencing, describing his father as “the best in the world” and pleading for leniency.

King continues to maintain regular contact with his father, assuring fans that Diddy remains in good spirits despite the circumstances. The family’s united front has become a focal point of public interest in the case.

What Lies Ahead

While the family hopes for a Christmas miracle, the final decision rests with the judicial system. For now, Diddy’s supporters remain vocal, and his family continues to highlight their resilience as they await further developments.
