Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has sold his house for US$55 million (approximately J$8.6 billion).
The shamed hip-hop mogul – who is currently behind bars serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted on two prostitution-related charges – has offloaded the six-bedroom, eight-and-a-half bathroom property on Miami’s Star Island, which is next door to his other home that was raided by federal agents in March 2024 while he was being investigated on allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering.
At the time, more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant were seized by authorities, as well as “various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics”.
It was revealed last month that the I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker has been given a new prison release date, having initially been due to walk free in mid-2028. It was recently stated to be June 4, 2028 before shifting to April 25, 2028. But now it has changed once again and Combs is now likely to be released even earlier, with February 23, 2028 currently standing as the date he’s due to regain his freedom.
Combs has been behind bars since his arrest in September 2024 and he was convicted last July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The rapper’s eight-week trial last year resulted in acquittals on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, but he was convicted on prostitution-related offences.
A representative for the shamed star previously insisted Combs is using his time behind bars to take his sobriety “seriously”. The spokesperson dismissed claims that Combs had been caught drinking homemade alcohol during his time in prison – insisting his client is focusing on remaining clean and sober.
Combs was transferred from Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York City, to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. FCI Fort Dix is a low-security facility and said to have better conditions than MDC Brooklyn, where Combs had been behind bars since his arrest on various sex crime charges in September 2024.
His legal team had requested he be moved to the facility in New Jersey because of its access to drug rehabilitation schemes.
