What is Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs eating in jail on Thanksgiving?

Sean “Diddy” Combs won’t miss out on turkey this Thanksgiving, even though his feast will look a bit different this year.

The embattled “It’s All About the Benjamins” rapper just turned 55 behind bars, and now he’ll be celebrating his first holiday in federal lockup after being arrested on charges related to racketeering, sex trafficking and more.

A representative from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where Combs has been living since September after being denied bail several times, told The Post that he’ll have a traditional-ish Thanksgiving meal for lunch.

However, his day will start with breakfast at 6 a.m., which includes fruit, cereal and breakfast pastries.

The Post is told that Combs and his fellow inmates will be served their choice of turkey roast or hot and sour tofu when lunch is served at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 28.

Their Thanksgiving feast will come with all the fixings, such as mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, two dinner rolls with margarine and even assorted holiday pies, which are all on the menu.

If Combs is still hungry come dinnertime at 4 p.m., he’ll get his choice of a chicken breast sandwich or a chickpea burger. Both meals come with steamed rice, pinto beans and corn as options for sides.

Additionally, the prison offers peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and potato chips.

Not only will the disgraced Bad Boy Records founder be served a special meal on Thanksgiving, but MDC’s spokesperson told The Post that the detention center’s recreation department “has a variety of events, activities and tournaments available to our incarcerated population,” including spades card games, dominos, three-on-three basketball and a soccer tournament.

“Those tournaments are available to our entire population,” they clarified.

Combs has been placed in the 4 North unit of MDC, a dorm facility, which has around 20 inmates with looser rules than the general population and diversions for prisoners, including things like air hockey, TV and video games.

Despite being accused of sex trafficking and drugging his alleged victims to perform sexual acts in “freak-offs,” the music mogul still has access to female inmates.

“There are grates in one of the rooms of 4 North,” Gene Borrello, a former mob enforcer who spent time in the unit, told The Post. “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.”

Combs celebrated his double nickel birthday on Nov. 4 with a mediocre prison meal and a call from his seven children, which they recorded and posted on social media for the world to see.

The prison call landed him in hot water, with prosecutors accusing Combs of obstructing justice by allegedly ordering his kids to execute a social media campaign around his 55th birthday to sway the jurors and tug on their heartstrings.

Prosecutors are fighting to keep Combs locked up as he awaits trial on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. They claim the businessman-turned-jailbird is a flight risk with unlimited resources and is a danger to the public due to his alleged history of violence and efforts to contact possible witnesses and victims.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges, with his attorney claiming that the star’s biggest gripe behind bars is the meals he’s being served.

“The food’s probably the roughest part,” Marc Agnifilo said last month of his client’s jail stint.

Combs’ sex trafficking trial is slated for May 5, 2025.
