Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs will mark Halloween this year with a prison meal featuring baked fish, spinach, and coleslaw. The 55-year-old musician, currently inmate #37452-054, is spending this October 31 in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, a stark contrast to his past celebrity celebrations.
The prison menu reveals that breakfast is served at 06:00, consisting of fruit, cereal, a pastry, and skim milk. For lunch, inmates can choose between baked fish or black beans served with rice pilaf, spinach, and coleslaw. Dinner follows the facility’s 16:00 headcount, offering a turkey roast accompanied by mashed potatoes, vegetables, and whole-wheat bread. Those opting out of meat receive two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead.
This Halloween comes nearly a year after Combs was arrested at a Manhattan hotel on September 16, 2024. His current circumstances sharply contrast with previous Halloweens. In 2023, he donned a Batman costume inspired by Christopher Nolan’s *The Dark Knight*, sharing videos of himself engaging with fans in full costume. The year before, he appeared as the Joker, showcasing the festive spirit he once enjoyed.
Combs’ legal troubles have led to a significant change in lifestyle. He was sentenced to 50 months in prison after being convicted on two counts related to transportation for prostitution. His trial in the Southern District of New York saw him acquitted of more severe charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. As a result, his sentence was considerably reduced.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Combs is projected for release on May 8, 2028, approximately 30 months from now. His legal team has requested a transfer to the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, a low-security facility that offers the Residential Drug Abuse Program. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian has also recommended that Combs be considered for a substance-abuse program.
Throughout his illustrious career, Combs founded Bad Boy Records in 1993, launching the careers of iconic artists such as The Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans, and Mase. He has sold over 35 million records worldwide and received three Grammy Awards for his contributions to hip-hop and R&B.
As he adjusts to life behind bars, the lessons from his earlier achievements stand in stark contrast to his current reality, reminding fans of the complexities of fame and its consequences.
