Diddy, the legendary rapper and mogul, marked his 55th birthday in an unexpected setting this year—the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC). Away from his typical lavish parties, he spent the day in confinement, with only a call from his children to brighten his spirits.
Diddy’s day began with a simple meal: cereal, fruit, and pastries. Lunch consisted of pasta with marinara sauce, meatballs, and salad, while dinner offered a choice between chicken fried rice or beans with carrots.
A source described Diddy’s prison birthday as a far cry from the opulence he’s known for, calling it “a living hell.” Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, previously mentioned that the food quality in the facility has been one of the most challenging aspects of Diddy’s incarceration.
The only solace for Diddy came through a heartfelt phone call from his children. In a video posted by Justin Dior Combs on Instagram, Diddy’s emotional voice could be heard as his kids sang happy birthday over the phone. “I love you all so much,” Diddy expressed warmly.
He continued, “I can’t wait to see you all. I just want to say I’m proud of each of you, especially my girls. You’ve all been so strong. Thank you for standing by me.” Diddy also hinted at an upcoming visit from his family, saying, “Can’t wait to see you in a few days.”
Just last year, Diddy’s star-studded birthday celebrations, where he hosted icons like Janet Jackson and Naomi Campbell at LAVO in London. He also threw memorable parties at his Beverly Hills estate, inviting Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian, and other A-list celebrities to dance the night away. “All you needed was dancing shoes and good vibes to celebrate with Diddy,” said one attendee.
Meanwhile, as Western media continues to cover details of Diddy’s legal troubles, his team is actively working to secure his release ahead of his next hearing on December 18, hoping for his return to freedom before year-end.
