I’ve been closely following the legal saga surrounding music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. And on the occasion of his 55th birthday, I’ve obtained some exclusive details about how the disgraced rapper is spending his special day—behind bars.
Combs, who has been incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest in September, was recently heard on a call with his children, who wished him a happy birthday.
Despite the challenging circumstances, his son Justin Dior Combs shares a video in which the elder Combs expresses his love and pride for his large family.
“I love y’all so much. I can’t wait to see y’all. I just want to say I’m proud of y’all, especially the girls. I’m proud of all of you, but especially for your strength. Thank y’all for being strong, and thank y’all for being by my side, supporting me. I love y’all. I have the most amazing family in the world. My birthday. I’m happy. Thank y’all for giving me this call. I love y’all,” Combs told his children, including Quincy Brown, Christian Combs, and twins D’Lila and Jessie Combs.
A Far Cry From Lavish Celebrations
Gone are the days of Combs’ lavish, over-the-top birthday bashes. This year, the music mogul, who boasts a net worth close to $1 billion, will be dining on a decidedly more modest menu behind bars.
The Post can exclusively report that Combs’ birthday menu includes standard prison fare: breakfast items like cereal, fruit, and a breakfast cake, followed by a lunch of pasta with marinara sauce, meatballs, and a garden salad. His birthday dinner will be chicken or tofu fried rice with black beans and carrots.
“The food’s probably the roughest part” of Combs’ jail stint, according to his attorney, Marc Agnifilo.
Serious Charges And Mounting Lawsuits
Combs’ birthday celebration contrasts sharply with his previous lifestyle of luxury and excess. In September, authorities arrested the music mogul and indicted him on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
Prosecutors allege that Combs forced his victims to participate in “Freak” “Offs”—”elaborate and produced sex performances”—which he would record and use as “collateral” for blackmail. They also claim he used drugs and guns to “intimidate and threaten” his alleged victims.
Despite pleading not guilty, Combs faces further legal issues. He’s faced a flurry of lawsuits, including accusations that he raped a 10-year-old boy in 2005 and a 13-year-old girl in 2000.
Unwavering Support From Family
Through it all, Combs’ children have stood by him, calling the allegations “conspiracy theories” and vowing to support him “every step of the way.”
In a statement, his kids expressed their heartbreak over the situation, writing, “The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media. We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. We miss you and love you, Dad.”
A Long Road Ahead
As Combs spends his 55th birthday behind bars, it’s clear that his once-glittering career and lifestyle have taken a dramatic turn. With a trial set for May 2025, the music mogul faces an uphill battle to clear his name and regain his freedom.
But through it all, his family’s unwavering support and his own determination to fight the charges suggest that this may not be the end of the Diddy story. The road to redemption will undoubtedly be long and challenging, but for a man who has built an empire, it’s a battle he seems willing to take on.
