Sean "Diddy" Combs, a well-known figure in the music industry, is marking his 55th birthday behind bars at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. Facing serious charges, including racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, Combs has pleaded not guilty but remains in custody after being denied bail. His trial date is currently set for May 5, 2025.
Combs’ birthday, typically a celebration marked by lavish parties, will be a stark contrast this year. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' standard menu, breakfast at the Metropolitan Detention Center, served at 6 a.m., includes a simple selection of fruit, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, biscuits, oven-brown potatoes, and spreads like jelly and margarine. Inmates can also enjoy “breakfast cake,” a daily item on the menu, though not specific to birthdays.
Coffee is only available on weekends, so Combs won’t have it on his birthday. Options like pancakes and French toast are also served, but only on Wednesdays and Fridays, respectively.
Lunch, which begins at 11 a.m., offers a variety of items, with the main course on Mondays featuring options like Southwest chicken wraps, chicken tacos, cheese pizza, or three-bean chili. Sides include green beans, rice, salsa, or coleslaw, and the meal comes with fruit. Dessert is offered on some days, but Monday is not one of them, meaning Combs’ birthday meal will be devoid of any sweet treats.
The final meal of the day, dinner, follows a 4 p.m. headcount. Monday's dinner choices include options such as turkey roast with rice, green peas, and gravy, or chicken or tofu fried rice with black beans and carrots. Like lunch, dessert is not typically served with dinner on Mondays.
If Combs has funds in his commissary account, he can purchase items for an upgrade from the standard menu. Popular snacks available to inmates include Nutella, Snickers, macaroni and cheese, and hot chocolate.
Marc Agnifilo, Combs’ attorney, previously noted that food has been one of the more difficult aspects of his life in custody. “I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it,” Agnifilo remarked after a recent status conference at a federal courthouse in Manhattan, underscoring the challenges Combs faces adjusting to his new environment.
In the months ahead, Combs will continue his stay in Brooklyn’s detention facility as he awaits his May 2025 trial, a major event that has drawn attention nationwide.
