Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Lawyer Reveals ‘Hardest Part’ of Prison

Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was indicted last month on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, is reportedly having a hard time adjusting to his new diet behind bars.

“I think the food is probably the hardest part,” his lawyer Marc Agnifilo told the press on Thursday after a status conference on the case, which ended with a trial date set for May 5, 2025.

Combs was arrested in connection with an indictment from the Southern District of New York that accuses him of organizing secret “freaks” to drug, rape and coerce women into participating with male sex workers; his properties were raided by federal authorities in March.

The music producer, who founded Bad Boy Records in 1993 and launched late rapper The Notorious BIG to stardom, has pleaded not guilty and has remained in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his September 16 arrest. Bail was twice denied as prosecutors argued that Combs poses a flight risk with an apparent history of witness intimidation.

People previously reported that Combs starts his days in prison at 6 a.m. with cereal, fruit, and breakfast cake. Weekday lunches are served at 11 a.m. and alternate between burgers, fish tacos, and steak, but offerings can include scrambled eggs and biscuits on weekends.

Dinner is served daily at 4pm and includes a choice of chicken, pasta, or roast beef fajitas, with “heart-healthy” options including lentils, tofu, or baked beans. Despite his apparent complaints, it appears Combs will have to settle for these picks until May.

Allegations against Combs escalated after his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a lawsuit in late 2023. The singer-songwriter, who is already signed to the Bad Boy record label, accused Combs of drugging and raping her. it repeatedly. She and Combs settled the lawsuit for an undisclosed sum within 24 hours of when it was filed.

In May of this year, CNN obtained and released footage of Combs physically assaulting Ventura in 2016. Once the clip became public, Combs apologized for his actions in a controversial social media video.

In recent months, more than 3,000 people have reached out to lawyers with allegations about Combs. These complaints resulted in 120 additional lawsuits.
