Life behind bars is proving tough for iconic music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, and one of the toughest things he’s had to get used to is the prison chow. Diddy is an inmate at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, and his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, says that he’s really struggling to adjust to the standard meals at the facility. After a Manhattan court appearance on October 10, 2024, Agnifilo underscored how the monotony and simplicity of prisoner meals have been the most challenging thing so far for Diddy to tolerate.
Diddy briefly interacted with his family, who were present in the fully packed Manhattan courtroom, including his mother, who came from Florida, and his children, who sat together in the gallery. Diddy, clad in a standard prison tan uniform, waved to his loved ones and hugged his legal team as he left the holding cell before court officers escorted him out of the courtroom.
Obviously, for Diddy, most people would dream of sumptuous feasts as a part of day-to-day life. Sure enough, reality between the bars is a little different. His breakfast daily meals include simple choices like cereal and fruit, hamburgers or baked fish for lunch, and chicken fajitas or pasta for dinner. Such a monotonous diet has caused discomfort for the mogul, who has been used to a very luxurious life style.
Below is a general idea of what the meal schedule may look like at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
| Meal | Time | Typical Menu |
|---|---|---|
| Breakfast | 6:00 AM | Cereal, Fruit, Breakfast Cake |
| Lunch | 11:00 AM | Hamburger, Baked Fish, or Beef Tacos |
| Dinner | 4:00 PM | Chicken Fajitas, Pasta, Roast Beef |
But aside from food woes, Diddy’s legal issues are stacking up. He faces serious charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and coercion stemming from incidents that prosecutors termed ‘Freak Offs, where women were compelled to perform sexual activities. These serious charges led to the denial of bail several times, with Diddy scheduled to go on trial starting May 5, 2025.
While the indictment is subject to a superseding indictment, which could add further charges, Diddy’s legal team-anchored by Agnifilo-is gearing up for a multifaceted fight, including a motion presently regarding footage of an altercation between Diddy and Cassie. The defense has requested a gag order, contending that release of the footage would unduly affect the case, while prosecutors say it is a crucial piece of evidence.
