Diddy marks 56th birthday behind bars with unglamorous prison meal

Not much celebrating when you’re in prison.

Diddy turned 56 on Tuesday, November 4, and celebrated his birthday at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix, part of his 50-month sentence following his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

The disgraced mogul had the same prison meal everyone else did on his birthday. According to a menu obtained by People, breakfast included fruit, a choice between bran flakes and breakfast cake or whole wheat bread and two jelly packets, with options of skim milk, margarine spread, and sugar-substitute packets.

Lunch included chicken parmesan or a chickpea burger, along with a beverage.

Dinner was just as simple, with the option of cheese pizza or navy beans, served along an Italian pasta salad, green beans and a garden salad, as well as a beverage.

A sweet snack can be purchased from the New Jersey correctional center’s commissary, which offers things like cheesecake squares, honey buns, Pop-Tarts, and a variety of cookies.

Diddy was transferred to FCI Fort Dix on October 30. The move came after his attorneys complained about the conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, where he had been incarcerated since his arrest in September 2024.

He is set to be released from prison on May 8, 2028, when he will have completed his sentence.

The Grammy-winner will be subject to strict conditions upon his release, including supervised release for five years and mandatory meetings with his probation officer. He is also required to refrain from using drugs and will be required to submit to regular drug testing, as well as mental health treatments and an outpatient program for domestic violence.

Diddy also cannot own a firearm or any other dangerous weapon and cannot communication with anyone else involved in criminal activities. He’ll also have to get a job, working a minimum of 30 hours a week, once he’s out.
