As we reported, Diddy is currently behind bars awaiting prosecution on federal sex crime charges. After spending Thanksgiving behind bars as well, this will be his second official holiday at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. A source close to Us Weekly explained in a new report that the rapper is “trying to stay positive” ahead of his first Christmas away from his family. “The holidays will be especially hard for the family without their father,” the source added, as his children Quincy (33), Justin (30), Christian (26), Chance (18), twins D’Lila and Jessie (18) and Love (2) will spend the holiday without him as well.
In the same report, federal prison consultant Sam Mangel shed light on what the holiday will entail for Diddy. Mangel explained that there are no decorations for the holiday, as “contraband and anything with sharp edges or pins are prohibited.” Visitors are allowed for the day but are limited to four people at a time, with stays lasting about 30 minutes to an hour. “When their family leaves, inmates become very solemn,” Mangel told the outlet. “It becomes very depressing.”
Earlier we reported that Combs will perhaps be able to get a few card games in on the 25th. Inmates will have an opportunity to “enter a Spades tournament and a dominos competition,” per TMZ , while outside of cards they will also be able to take part in a “3-on-3 basketball tournament and soccer tournament.” As for what meal Diddy can expect on the holiday? A baked Cornish hen, macaroni and cheese, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce and a holiday dessert.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested in Manhattan by federal authorities on Monday Sept. 16th on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and engaging in interstate transportation for prostitution. The arrest came six months after they raided his two homes in Los Angeles and Miami. He also faces various allegations against him, including sexual abuse, physical abuse, bribery and various drug offenses.
For his federal charges, Diddy has pleaded not guilty and was denied bail. His trial is set for May 2025.
