Sean “Diddy” Combs' rapper son King Combs believes the disgraced star could be released from prison in time for the holidays.
The 56-year-old rap mogul is serving 50 months behind bars after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. It was previously revealed he is scheduled for release on June 4, 2028, after the date was pushed back by four weeks, but King, 27, is convinced his dad will be home very "soon".
King told TMZ.com: "He’s gonna be on the way home ... He’s doing good, everything is good. He’ll be home soon."
When asked if the shamed hip-hop mogul might get a pardon from the US government, King replied: "We'll see. Fingers crossed."
King was also asked how the family is doing as they prepare for the holiday season without the star, and he said: "Watch out, he might come home before then."
It comes after a representative for the shamed star insisted Combs is taking his sobriety "seriously" during his stint behind bars.

The spokesperson dismissed claims Combs had been caught drinking homemade alcohol behind bars - insisting his client is focusing on remaining clean and sober.
The representative told PEOPLE: "There have been several false and reckless reports circulating about Mr Combs. He has not violated any prison rules. His sobriety and self-discipline are priorities, and he is taking them seriously.
"This is only his first week at FCI Fort Dix, and unfortunately, rumours will surface throughout his time there. We ask the public and the press to give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth, and the grace to move forward in peace."
A statement denying the booze rumours was also posted on Combs' X account. It reads: "The rumours claiming Mr Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false. His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family."
Combs was transferred from the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, New York City, to the FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey on October 30.
FCI Fort Dix is a low-security facility and is 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 that he be moved to the facility in New Jersey because of its access to drug rehabilitation schemes.
