Sean “Diddy” Combs - who has made headlines for his infamous parties - is marking his 55th birthday in a significantly less glamorous fashion this year.

The music mogul, usually found surrounded by champagne and caviar at the swankiest venues, will instead be spending his "double nickel" birthday in federal lockup at MDC Brooklyn, where he has been since his arrest on September 16.
Diddy, the founder of Bad Boy Records, was arrested by Homeland Security Investigations at a New York City hotel.
Per BBC News, Diddy - real name Sean Combs - is currently facing federal criminal charges in an alleged sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

The rapper has been denied bail multiple times, awaiting his trial scheduled for May 5, 2025.
Additionally, as well as his arrest, more than two dozen lawsuits have been brought against Diddy over the last few months - detailing allegations of rape, underage assaults, intimidation, sexual extortion, and more.
Diddy vehemently denies any allegations against him and has pleaded not guilty. His reps have said that the rapper and his legal team "have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process".

The New York Post has exclusively learned that Diddy’s birthday menu starts with a simple breakfast of biscuits and gravy, "oven-browned potatoes", oatmeal, and bread, as well as spreads like jelly and margarine, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' national menu.
Coffee is only served on the weekend.
Lunch brings a small upgrade with cheese pizza, Italian pasta salad, and green beans on the tray. PEOPLE reports that inmates also have access to several sides with the mains, such as green beans, rice, salsa, or coleslaw.
On some days, lunch comes with dessert. Monday is not one of those days.
Dinner offers a choice of turkey roast, rice, green peas, gravy, whole wheat bread and chicken or tofu fried rice, black beans, and carrots.
There is no dessert served with dinner.
PEOPLE adds that Combs could treat himself to a snack like Nutella, Snickers, macaroni and cheese, and hot chocolate if he has enough in his commissary account.

While it’s a far cry from his usual star-studded bash, it’s a day marked by better food than usual in the mess hall of MDC Brooklyn.
If found guilty of racketeering, the rapper could face life in prison.
Prosecutors claim the rapper forced his alleged victims - some of whom were allegedly drugged and/or threatened with firearms - to participate in so-called "Freak Offs", described as: "Elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded."
Diddy is then accused of using this footage as "collateral" for blackmail, per The Post.
Per Reuters, one of the may lawsuits recently filed against Diddy claims he assaulted a child who was just 10 years old at the time back in 2005.
Combs has received support from his children, who have collectively labeled the allegations "conspiracy theories" and declared: "We stand united."
