Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyer says food is ‘roughest part’ about rapper’s life behind bars

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attorney gave some insight into the rapper’s food struggles behind bars after his sex trafficking arrest.

“I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it,” Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told reporters outside of a federal courthouse in Manhattan on Thursday, People reported.

Combs — who has been locked up in Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center since being denied bail — starts his day at 6 a.m. with a breakfast consisting of cereal, fruit and a breakfast cake, according to the magazine.

Lunch is reportedly served at 11 a.m. and consists of main courses like hamburgers, baked fish or beef tacos, and on weekends they can opt for scrambled eggs and biscuits.

Inmates then eat dinner after a 4 p.m. headcount, with meals including chicken fajitas, pasta and roast beef as well as “heart-healthy” and vegetarian options like lentils, tofu and baked beans.

The Post also reported that Combs is served three meals a day that are delivered to his cell and that he dined on Swedish meatballs following his arraignment. He had the option for a black bean burger and could also choose a side of egg noodles, green beans, a garden salad with dressing and a 16 oz. beverage.

As for the rest of his federal jail experience, The Post reported that Combs is only allowed one hour of daily recreation and three showers a week.

Thursday marked the Bad Boy Records founder’s first court appearance since his arrest, during which his trial date was set for May 5, 2025.

During the appearance, Combs, 54, was joined by his mother, Janice Combs, 84, and six of his seven children: sons Quincy Brown, 33, Justin Combs, 30, and Christian “King” Combs, 26, daughter Chance Combs, 18, and twins Jessie and D’Lila Combs, 17.

Diddy was arrested by Homeland Security Investigations at a New York City hotel last month.

He was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. The “I’ll Be Missing You” artist pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The music mogul’s fall from grace unfolded in November 2023 when his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a lawsuit accusing him of raping, sex trafficking and physically abusing her throughout their 10-year relationship.

He settled the suit the next day and denied any wrongdoing at the time; however, a video of him brutally beating Ventura, 38, at a hotel in 2016 surfaced online in May, forcing him to issue a public apology.

Diddy, known for throwing star-studded parties, is facing an onslaught of abuse and rape accusations following his arrest.
