Imprisoned rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs is cooking up a career comeback for when he's sprung from the slammer – which may result in a tour with R&B buddy Usher, sources told RadarOnline.com.
The fallen music mogul is slated for release in April 2028 after serving his sentence for prostitution-related charges.
Massive Comeback Plans
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is said to be planning a global comeback tour after prison, with Usher mentioned as a potential collaborator.

The concept is still just talk, but industry folks note that talk can turn into tickets – fast. "It would be huge – and hugely divisive," said the insider.
"Redemption to some. Outrage to others."
