Sean 'Diddy' Combs will mark his 57th birthday with a different menu this year, trading the lavish parties and champagne of his former lifestyle for oatmeal, burgers, and a three-pack of cupcakes costing just $1.25 (£1).

The disgraced music mogul turns 57 on Wednesday, 4 November, but his celebrations will take place behind bars at FCI Allenwood Low in Pennsylvania. The prison's birthday menu, obtained exclusively by Us Weekly, reveals what the rapper can expect to eat throughout the day as he marks another year in federal custody.

Instead of an extravagant birthday feast, Combs will have three standard prison meals, with the option to buy inexpensive treats from the facility's commissary. The selection includes a choice of burgers for lunch, pork roast for dinner and a surprisingly affordable birthday treat.

According to the menu obtained by Us Weekly, Combs will start his birthday with hot oatmeal, scrambled eggs, fruit, wholemeal bread with jelly and whole milk. His breakfast will be followed by a choice of either a hamburger or a black bean burger for lunch, served on a bun with lettuce, tomato, sliced red onions, mustard and ketchup.

The lunchtime meal will also include oven-browned potatoes, fruit and a beverage. For dinner, the Bad Boy Records founder will be served pork roast, mashed potatoes with gravy, mixed vegetables and wholemeal bread.

However, the prison's commissary offers additional options for inmates who want something sweet to mark the occasion. According to the facility's commissary list reviewed by Us Weekly, a three-pack of birthday cupcakes costs $1.25, while a pack of six birthday cards is priced at $1.50.

The inexpensive birthday options are a far cry from the extravagant celebrations associated with the music mogul before his incarceration. Combs, who built a multimillion-dollar entertainment empire through Bad Boy Records and other business ventures, was once a fixture at celebrity parties attended by some of the biggest names in music and entertainment.

Diddy Was Moved to a New Prison Last Month

The birthday menu comes less than three weeks after Combs was transferred from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to FCI Allenwood Low in Pennsylvania on 16 October. The transfer came after NBC News reported allegations of special privileges at his previous facility, including access to contraband alcohol and a cellphone.

NBC News also reported that Combs had allegedly enjoyed a 'pampered' lifestyle at Fort Dix, with fellow inmates reportedly preparing meals, cleaning his living space and providing other services. The Bureau of Prisons confirmed his transfer but declined to explain the reason, citing privacy, safety and security concerns.

Combs's representative, Juda Engelmayer, welcomed the move in a statement to Us Weekly, saying it aligned with a decision made with safety and security in mind. He also said he hoped the rapper could continue serving his sentence without unnecessary disruption.

Diddy Is Serving a 50-Month Prison Sentence

Combs was convicted in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and sentenced to 50 months in prison on 3 October 2025. He was acquitted of two counts of sex trafficking and one count of racketeering conspiracy following a high-profile federal trial.

The rapper's legal team appealed his conviction and sentence, arguing that the punishment was excessive. The Second US Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on 9 April 2026, but the judges did not issue an immediate ruling.

For now, Combs will spend his 57th birthday at his new Pennsylvania facility, with a menu that includes three meals and the option of purchasing a $1.25 cupcake treat. It is a considerably more modest celebration than the lavish parties that once accompanied his life as one of hip-hop's most prominent business figures.
