Sean "Diddy" Combs is getting even closer to being a free man ... his prison release date was moved up again!
The music mogul will now be sprung on February 5, 2028, from the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, according to the Bureau of Prisons.
Last month, TMZ reported that Diddy was most recently scheduled for release on February 20, 2028, which means he's getting more than two weeks shaved off his release date.
Christian crossed paths with rapper DDGwhile he was livestreaming Saturday night, and the quick run-in turned into a show of support for the jailed music mogul.
DDG had the camera rolling as he greeted Christian, who appeared in good spirits and briefly chopped it up with the streamer. But when DDG turned the attention his way, Christian made sure to get one message out to the viewers watching live -- telling viewers “Free Pops, Free Diddy.”
Diddy is out of solitary confinement following his alleged prison brawl ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Diddy was released from the hole at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, where he'd been placed after getting into a fight with another inmate.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is lucky he's a wealthy music mogul ... 'cause TMZ has learned he coughed up somewhere between 7 to $8 million to his high-powered lawyers over the course of his nearly two year federal criminal case
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Diddy has paid the massive legal tab to his team of trial and appellate attorneys -- namely Marc Agnifilo, Teny Geragos, Brian Steel, Nicole Westmoreland and others -- dating back to his arrest in NYC in September 2024.
For most people, that would be a staggering amount of money to shell out ... but Diddy isn't most people, and he reportedly has hundreds of millions in the bank.
It looks like Diddy's out $9,000 and a whole Best Buy's worth of electronics ... because the judge in his criminal case just signed an order handing over a bunch of stuff confiscated during his arrest and raids on his homes.
Judge Arun Subramanian -- who you may remember from presiding over Diddy's criminal trial -- signed an order Tuesday officially forfeiting a bunch of property to Uncle Sam, authorizing the feds to take possession and dispose of the items in accordance with the law.
It's a long list of items ... multiple iPhones, iPads, hard drives -- and even $9K cash seized from the Park Hyatt Hotel on September 16, 2024 -- when Diddy was taken into custody.
The docs note no claims contesting the forfeiture had been filed in the 30 days since the forfeiture notice was published ... so the judge signed off on the order, and now it's a done deal.
Diddy's prison release date was just pushed back after the brawl he got in behind bars.

The scandalized music mogul's release date had been jumping around a bunch lately -- it was originally slated for summer before jumping up to April, then February, then January ... and now back to February.

The music producer and rapper will see the outside of his jail cell even quicker than anticipated, 'cause his new release date is January 24, 2028 ... according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website.
