Sean “Diddy” Combs has suffered another setback, or indignity, depending on how you look at it.

Documents filed Wednesday, Oct. 15, in Manhattan federal court show the music mogul will face strict conditions when he is released from prison, after his 50-month sentence for two prostitution-related counts.

On Oct. 3, a federal judge sentenced the Bad Boy Records founder and gave him five years of supervised probation. The mogul will get credit for the 13 months he’s spent in jail since his arrest in September 2024, and is expected to serve two to three years.

We now know what his supervised release will involve. According to the documents obtained by Urban Hollywood 411, Combs must stay away from his victims, avoid drugs and weapons, and keep his distance from anyone involved in criminal activity, or risk violating his probation and being sent back to prison.

Here are the probation terms the seven-page filing says the mogul must follow:

-Attend regular meetings with his probation officer and refrain from drug use.

-Submit to a drug test within 15 days after his release, and two periodic tests after that.

-Enroll in an approved outpatient treatment program that includes testing.

-Participate in an outpatient mental health treatment program.

-Participate in an approved program for domestic violence.

-Live at a location approved by the probation department, and he cannot move unless he gives the probation office advanced notice.

-Allow probation officer to visit him at any time.

-Submit to a “search of himself, his property, residence, office, vehicle, papers, computers,” as well as his cell phones — when there is a reasonable suspicion that he has violated a condition of his release.

-Cannot own, possess or get access to a firearm, ammunition, a destructive device or any dangerous weapon.

-Work full-time, at least 30 hours a week “at a lawful type of employment.”

-Provide the probation officer with access to any requested financial information.

-Cannot act as a “confidential human source or informant” to a law enforcement agency without first getting permission from the court.

-Must not have contact with the victim(s). “This includes any physical, visual, written, or telephonic contact
with such persons. Additionally, you must not directly cause or encourage anyone else to have such contact with the victim.”

The document was signed by U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, who oversaw the mogul’s trial and handed down his sentence.

On sentencing day, Combs’ attorneys noted that he is a philanthropist and devoted father to his children, and asked for time served.

Once the mogul was sentenced, his attorneys criticized the judge, said he had “acted as a 13th juror,” and vowed to appeal.

Wednesday’s filing comes after the mogul requested to be sent to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. Combs’ attorneys said the “low security” prison near New York City is the best place for him because it offers a residential drug abuse program (RDAP), “educational and occupational programs,” and would allow him to “maximize family visitation.”

The judge rejected the request and said Combs should serve his sentence “as close as possible to the New York metropolitan area,” at any facility that has an “available substance abuse program.” The specific facility will be determined by the Bureau of Prisons, the judge said.

Combs, 55, was convicted on July 2 under the Mann Act for transporting people across state lines for the purpose of prostitution, involving two of his ex-girlfriends.

Jurors found him not guilty of the most serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
