The rapper known as Diddy is asking an appeals court to free him from prison. His legal team filed a request with the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan. The artist, age fifty-six, is currently serving a four-year sentence at FCI Fort Dix in a special drug treatment unit, with a release date set for 2028.
