Sean 'Diddy' Combs is spending his 55th birthday behind bars, far removed from his extravagant past celebrations. Once known for his opulent parties featuring Cristal, caviar, and VIP tables at the trendiest clubs alongside his celebrity friends, this year's festivities will be markedly different for the embattled rapper. However, at least he gets a pizza party!
The Post can exclusively reveal Diddy's birthday menu as he turns 55 today (Monday, November 4) at MDC Brooklyn, the federal lockup where he has been since his September arrest. The Bad Boy Records founder's day will begin with breakfast items such as biscuits and gravy, oven-browned potatoes, bread, and oatmeal; his choices improve as the day progresses.
Monday's lunch at Diddy's prison includes cheese pizza, Italian pasta salad, and green beans, confirmed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. His birthday dinner options are chicken or tofu fried rice with black beans and carrots.
Diddy was arrested on September 16 by Homeland Security Investigations at a New York City hotel on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He has been denied bail multiple times and ordered to remain in the high-profile prison while awaiting his trial set for May 5, 2025.
Prosecutors allege that Diddy forced his alleged victims to participate in 'Freak Offs,' elaborate sex performances that he arranged, directed, and often recorded. They accuse him of drugging his alleged victims to keep them obedient and compliant, sometimes for days at a time. Prosecutors claim Diddy would record these 'Freak Offs' and use the footage as collateral for blackmail, alleging he also used guns to intimidate and threaten them.
Diddy has denied the accusations and pleaded not guilty to the charges. His legal troubles began when his ex, Cassie Ventura, filed a civil suit against him in November 2023, alleging he raped and abused her during their 10-year relationship. They settled the suit quickly, with his lawyer insisting the settlement was 'in no way an admission of wrongdoing.'
A shocking 2016 hotel surveillance video surfaced in May, showing the hip-hop star stomping, dragging, and hitting Ventura. Diddy apologized for his actions in a since-deleted Instagram video. Months later, Diddy was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He accused the feds of leaking the Cassie fight video, with prosecutors calling the accusation a 'desperate' ploy to remove 'damning' evidence from his sex crimes case.
Since being in federal custody, Diddy has faced a barrage of lawsuits with horrifying accusations, including allegations that the rapper raped a 10-year-old boy in 2005 and drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000 with two celebrities at a VMAs afterparty. His lawyers claim the lawsuits are 'clear attempts to garner publicity.'
'Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process,' his legal team's statement read. Diddy's children have stood by him, calling the allegations 'conspiracy theories' and vowing, 'We stand united.'
