King Combs Says Dad Diddy Might Come Home for the Holidays
Iconic mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has begun serving his 50-month federal prison sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security facility located in New Jersey. His legal team specifically lobbied for his placement at Fort Dix to access its Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) and to stay closer to family, highlighting the facility’s rehabilitative resources. Now, it looks like his son, Christian ‘King’ Combs, has high hopes that Diddy could come home for the 2025 holiday season.
Christian ‘King’ Combs says dad Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs could come over for the holidays in 2025
Sean “Diddy” Combs has officially begun a 50-month prison stretch at FCI Fort Dix. This follows his conviction on two counts of transporting individuals to engage in prostitution. The move to Fort Dix, a low-security facility, comes with strategic intent. Diddy’s legal team pushed for his placement there to tap into the prison’s Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). Additionally, the mogul can stay closer to family.
In November 2025, TMZ caught up with Diddy’s 27-year-old son, Christian “King” Combs, while King walked through the airport. Reporters asked King if he speaks to Diddy a lot. King verified that he does, adding, “he might be on the way home.” Then, when reporters asked King if Diddy would get pardoned in the new year, King replied, “We’ll see. Fingers crossed.”
In another moment with the reporters, King reiterated that fans might see Diddy get out of prison earlier than expected.
“We’re gonna play ‘Diddy Free’ the whole Christmas, whole Thanksgiving,” King added. “He coming home, though. Just watch out. He might come home before that. … You never know.”
The reporters asked if a presidential pardon is in the works. “Just stay tuned, ’cause he’s gonna be home soon,” King said, not offering further details.
President Donald Trump says the mogul asked him for a pardon
President Donald Trump recently confirmed that Sean “Diddy” Combs personally asked him for a presidential pardon following Combs’s 50-month prison sentence on prostitution-related convictions.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump referred to Combs by his former stage name, “Puff Daddy,” and said, “He has asked me for a pardon,” according to ABC News. While Trump did not commit to granting clemency, he suggested he would review the facts.
Trump has granted clemency to a wide swath of controversial figures both during his first term and since returning to office. His pardon of Todd and Julie Chrisley sparked major headlines. In May 2025, the former Chrisley Knows Best reality stars were granted full pardons after being convicted in 2022 of bank fraud and tax evasion. Prosecutors had alleged the couple used falsified documents to secure more than $30 million in fraudulent loans from community banks, while concealing income from the IRS.
Trump’s decision came after their daughter, Savannah, publicly lobbied for clemency. In a call made public by the White House, Trump told her, “Your parents are going to be free and clean,” and expressed hope that the pardon could happen “by tomorrow,” according to Collider.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ release date was recently pushed back
Initially, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ projected release date from prison was May 8, 2028, after serving a 50‑month federal sentence. However, recent updates from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) now list his release date as June 4, 2028.
While the BOP has provided no official explanation for the date shift, media outlets point to alleged rule violations during Diddy’s incarceration at Fort Dix. These alleged violations include consuming homemade alcohol and making an unauthorized three‑way phone call. Diddy’s representatives, however, have denied misconduct, asserting that his sobriety and discipline remain intact, according to E! News.
