Sean “Diddy” Combs spent New Year’s Eve at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, where he is awaiting trial on May 5, 2025, after pleading not guilty to charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Every day this week, Diddy will be served the same breakfast at 6 a.m. The menu consists of fruit, cereal, breakfast cake and skim milk, per a prison menu obtained by PEOPLE, and prisoners have access to coffee on Saturday and Sunday.
Lunch, which is served around 11 a.m. daily, ranges from hamburgers, tater tots and fruit — which was Combs’ New Year’s Day meal — and scrambled eggs, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and “oven brown potatoes,” which is the menu on Saturday, Jan. 4.
Combs was served steak and cheese subs on hot dog buns, baked potatoes, green beans and margarine for dinner on New Year’s Eve. On New Year’s Day, dinner consisted of a chicken sandwich or chickpea burger, pinto beans and rice, corn and mayonnaise.
The rest of this week, dinner menus include chicken or tofu fried rice, black beans, carrots and whole wheat bread and chicken or chickpea tacos with cilantro rice, pinto beans, salsa and corn. Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center serves every dinner after 4 p.m.
On other holidays, like Thanksgiving and Christmas, Combs was offered two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on whole wheat bread, potato chips, fruit and a beverage.
The disgraced music mogul has been denied bail by three different judges. He first bid for pre-trial release was during his arraignment in federal court on Sept. 17, one day after his arrest in a Manhattan hotel room on federal sex crime charges. His second bail request was denied one day later, on Sept. 18, by a different judge, who cited concerns about witness tampering. His third and most recent request for bail was denied on Wednesday, Nov. 27.

Combs’ indictment centers around alleged “freak offs,” which prosecutors claim were elaborate sex performances involving male sex workers and women who were forced or coerced into participating. It accuses Combs of being the ringleader of a “criminal enterprise” that allowed him to sexually, physically, emotionally and verbally abuse his victims for years.
Combs will return to court on March 17. His federal trial is scheduled for May 5, 2025.
