What Diddy Will Be Eating on His Birthday in Jail

Sean “Diddy” Combs turns 55 on Monday, Nov. 4, while in jail after being arrested on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The disgraced music mogul is at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center while he awaits trial after pleading not guilty but being denied bail. 

On his birthday, Combs will have access to fruit, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, biscuits, “oven brown potatoes” and spreads like jelly and margarine for breakfast, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ national menu. Every day at breakfast, which starts at 6 a.m., inmates can have “breakfast cake” but this is not specific to Combs’ birthday.

Coffee is only served on the weekend and options like pancakes or French toast with syrup are available on Wednesdays and Fridays, respectively. 

Lunch is served at 11 a.m. Per the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ national menu, Monday lunch mains can include Southwest chicken wraps, chicken tacos, cheese pizza or three-bean chili. Inmates also have access to several sides with the mains, like green beans, rice, salsa or cole slaw. Lunch comes with fruit every day and dessert on some days but Monday is not one of them.

Monday dinner menus include menus like turkey roast, rice, green peas, gravy, whole wheat bread and beverage, and chicken or tofu fried rice, black beans, carrots, whole wheat bread and beverage. Dessert is not served with dinners.

If Combs has funds in his commissary account then he has access to purchasing goods like Nutella, Snickers, macaroni and cheese and hot chocolate.

On Oct. 10, Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo said that the food options are one of the most difficult parts of his life behind bars

“I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it,” Agnifilo told reporters outside of a federal courthouse in Manhattan after a status conference. While in court, Combs’ trial date on sex crimes charges was set for May 5, 2025.
