Sean “Diddy” Combs has built a reputation for his lavish parties and over-the-top celebrations, so many people previously looked forward to seeing what the Bad Boy founder would do for his birthday every year. However, this year, Combs is spending his birthday (Nov. 4) behind bars, as he awaits his trial for his sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. He turns 55 today.
So, what is Diddy having as his birthday meal behind bars? The New York Post contacted the Federal Bureau of Prisons to confirm the meals that are served to inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where the father of seven is currently being held.
For breakfast, Diddy was likely served breakfast items like cereal, fruit and a breakfast cake, according to the outlet.
Then, around 11 a.m., Monday’s lunch at the prison includes “pasta with marinara sauce, meatballs and a garden salad.” For dinner, he will be able to have chicken or tofu fried rice with black beans and carrots at 4 p.m.
It may be safe to assume the “I Need A Girl” artist isn’t fully pleased with his food choices on his special day this year. Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, previously stated that “the food’s probably the roughest part” of his client’s time at the MDC Brooklyn.
This situation is a stark contrast to Diddy’s birthday festivities last year. The disgraced mogul had an upscale birthday celebration at LAVO in London, with the A-List roster of guests including Naomi Campbell, Janet Jackson, and Idris Elba.
On Sept. 16, 2024, the Love Album creator was arrested in NYC and charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. Disturbing details from the court documents accused Diddy of using his companies to fund and facilitate “Freak Offs,” where he’d allegedly drug his victims and put them in sexually abusive situations. He has been denied bail twice.
