Sean“Diddy”Combs turns 57 on Wednesday, November 4, and he’ll mark the day at FCI Allenwood Low in Pennsylvania. Us Weekly obtained the prison menu for the occasion: oatmeal, scrambled eggs, fruit, whole wheat bread and milk for breakfast; a hamburger or black bean burger with fixings and oven-browned potatoes for lunch; and pork roast, mashed potatoes with gravy, mixed vegetables and whole wheat bread for dinner. A three-pack of birthday cupcakes from the commissary goes for $1.25, and a six-pack of birthday cards costs $1.50.
The bigger story is how he got there. Combs was transferred from FCI Fort Dix to Allenwood on October 16 after a reported head injury. A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson declined to discuss the conditions of confinement for anyone in custody, including reasons for a transfer, while his representative, Juda Engelmayer, emphasized that moving from one low-security facility to another is an important distinction. Combs is serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution; he was acquitted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, is appealing, and has a projected release date of February 6, 2028.
The contrast is hard to miss. This is a man who built a career on champagne and velvet ropes, and his birthday dinner now comes with mashed potatoes and gravy on a tray. Whether or not you’re a fan, it’s a headline that practically writes its own conversation at the group chat. What would you pick off that menu if you had to choose a birthday dinner?
