Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Attorney Reveals ‘Probably The Roughest Part’ Of Life Behind Bars

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

“I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it,” his attorney Marc Agnifilo told the press Thursday after a status conference on the case, which concluded with a trial date being set for May 5, 2025.

Combs was arrested in relation to an indictment from the Southern District of New York that accuses him of hosting secretive “freak-offs” 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 B.I.G. into superstardom, pleaded not guilty and has remained in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his Sept. 16 arrest. He has been denied bail twice, as prosecutors argued Combs is a flight risk with an apparent history of witness intimidation.

People previously reported that Combs begins his days in jail at 6 a.m. with cereal, fruit and a breakfast cake. Weekday lunches are served at 11 a.m. and rotate among hamburgers, fish and beef tacos, but offerings can include scrambled eggs and biscuits on weekends.

Dinner is served after a daily headcount at 4 p.m. and includes choices of chicken fajitas, pasta or roast beef, with “heart healthy” options including lentils, tofu or baked beans. Despite his apparent gripes, it appears Combs will have to make do with these choices until May.

Allegations against Combs ramped up after his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a lawsuit in late 2023. The singer-songwriter, who was once signed with the Bad Boy label, accused Combs of repeatedly drugging and raping her. She and Combs settled the suit 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 was public, Combs apologized for his actions in a controversial video on social media.

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