Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ prison release date has been pushed back in the aftermath of a report alleging he had spent thousands of dollars in order to live a more pampered lifestyle behind bars.
Combs, who is currently incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, is now scheduled to be released on March 2, 2028, according to Bureau of Prisons (BOP) records.
The listed date had previously been Jan. 21, 2028.
“For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including reasons for a change in release date,” the BOP told PEOPLE on Wednesday, Oct. 7.
A source previously told PEOPLE that the Bad Boy Records founder had been moved to solitary confinement in response to an NBC News report, which alleged Combs had been seen with contraband items, including a cellphone, while in prison.
PEOPLE can confirm Combs remains in solitary confinement.
According to the NBC report, Combs had a “jailbroken” tablet, which he used to watch movies and documentaries, including Netflix’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
A source also confirmed to PEOPLE that Combs had been seen using a cell phone to look at Instagram and sexually explicit photos sent by a former girlfriend.
Combs reportedly also had special meals cooked for him and received massages, per NBC, which also reported he had been seen drinking cognac.

The music mogul was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of more serious charges, which could have landed him in prison for life, at the conclusion of a closely watched federal trial in New York City.
After his sentencing, Combs was transferred to Fort Dix, a low-security federal facility. During his trial, he had been incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
