Sean 'Diddy' Combs won't be missing out on turkey this Thanksgiving, even though his feast will be a bit different this year. The 'It's All About the Benjamins' rapper, who just turned 55 while incarcerated, will be celebrating his first holiday in federal lockup following his arrest on charges related to racketeering, sex trafficking, and more.
A representative from the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, where Diddy has been residing since September after multiple bail denials, informed The Post that he will be having a somewhat traditional Thanksgiving meal for lunch. His day will begin with breakfast at 6 a.m., which includes fruit, cereal, and breakfast pastries.
Diddy and his fellow inmates will be served either turkey roast or hot and sour tofu for lunch at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 28. Their Thanksgiving feast will include all the trimmings: mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, two dinner rolls with margarine, and assorted holiday pies.
If Diddy is still hungry by dinner time at 4 p.m., he can choose between a chicken breast sandwich or a chickpea burger, both accompanied by steamed rice, pinto beans, and corn. Additionally, the prison offers peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and potato chips.
Not only will Diddy be served a special meal on Thanksgiving, but the MDC's recreation department has planned a variety of events and tournaments for the incarcerated population, including spades card games, dominos, three-on-three basketball, and a soccer tournament. Diddy is housed in the 4 North unit of MDC, a dorm facility with around 20 inmates, which has looser rules and diversions such as air hockey, TV, and video games.
Despite facing accusations of sex trafficking and drugging his alleged victims, Diddy still has access to female inmates. 'There are grates in one of the rooms of 4 North,' said Gene Borrello, a former mob enforcer who spent time in the unit. 'They have little holes. If you lay down, you can look through the holes and talk to the women one floor down and see them.'
Diddy celebrated his 55th birthday on Nov. 4 with a modest prison meal and a call from his seven children, which they recorded and shared online. The prison call led to further trouble, with prosecutors accusing Diddy of obstructing justice by orchestrating a social media campaign around his birthday to influence jurors.
Prosecutors are pushing to keep Diddy incarcerated as he awaits trial on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. They argue that he is a flight risk with extensive resources and poses a danger to the public due to his alleged history of violence and attempts to contact potential witnesses and victims.
Diddy pleaded not guilty to the charges, with his attorney stating that the toughest part of his jail stint is the food. 'The food's probably the roughest part,' said Marc Agnifilo last month.
Diddy's sex trafficking trial is scheduled for May 5, 2025.
