Sean 'Diddy' Combs, known for his extravagant lifestyle and star-studded birthday bashes, finds himself spending his 55th birthday in the stark confinement of Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.

AceShowbiz - Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, once celebrated for his opulent parties and influential status in the music industry, is marking his 55th birthday behind bars. Arrested on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, the disgraced music mogul now finds his birthday celebrations relegated to the confines of Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.
Combs, who turned 55 on November 4, will start his day at 6 a.m. with a typical prison breakfast. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the menu includes items such as fruit, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, biscuits, and "oven brown potatoes." While inmates get a slice of "breakfast cake" daily, this is not a special treat for Combs' birthday. Contrary to his past birthday mornings, there's no coffee unless it's the weekend.
For lunch at 11 a.m., Combs can expect a choice of Southwest chicken wraps, chicken tacos, cheese pizza, or three-bean chili, paired with sides like green beans, rice, salsa, or cole slaw. Unfortunately for him, there won't be any birthday sweets as Monday lunches do not include dessert.
Dinner, which follows the 4 p.m. headcount, typically features either a turkey roast with rice and green peas or chicken/tofu fried rice with black beans and carrots. Though he can purchase comfort items like Nutella, Snickers, and hot chocolate if he has commissary funds, the former luxury lifestyle icon faces a harsh dietary contrast.
Last year, Combs celebrated his birthday with a lavish party at LAVO restaurant in London, joined by celebrities like Janet Jackson and Naomi Campbell. Flashback to 2019, his 50th birthday saw an extravagant celebration at his Beverly Hills mansion with an A-list guest list including Beyonce Knowles, Jay-Z, and Kim Kardashian. The contrast now could not be more stark.
In addition to grappling with the limited food options, Combs' attorney, Marc Agnifilo, revealed that his client finds prison food particularly challenging. "I think the food's probably the roughest part of it," Agnifilo stated.
Combs remains behind bars as he awaits his trial, set for May 5, 2025, after pleading not guilty to all charges. Accusations against him include organizing "Freak Off" parties where attendees reported being drugged and sexually assaulted. Despite the hefty charges and severe allegations, Combs maintains his innocence, with his legal team preparing for a strenuous battle ahead.
Regardless of the outcome, this birthday marks a significant low in Combs' once glittering life, underscoring a dramatic fall from grace for the former king of hip-hop.
