Once known for throwing million-dollar birthday bashes filled with celebrities, champagne, and luxury, Sean “Diddy” Combs spent his 56th birthday in the stark confines of a federal prison dining hall. The former music mogul marked the day on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey — his new home since being transferred there on Oct. 30. Instead of caviar and Cristal, sources say Diddy’s prison birthday meal was painfully modest, reportedly featuring green beans, mashed potatoes, and a slice of plain cake.

Diddy, once one of the most powerful figures in hip-hop, is now serving a 50-month sentence handed down by U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian after his conviction on sex crime charges. The fall from fame has been swift and shocking — from chart-topping hits and global fame to the humbling reality of life behind bars. Prison officials say the star kept a low profile during the day, quietly eating his meal in the common area before returning to his assigned cell.

For a man who once celebrated his birthdays surrounded by A-listers and flashing lights, the silence of a prison cafeteria must have felt like a world away. Could this somber milestone mark the beginning of Diddy’s long road to redemption — or the final note in a career that once defined an era? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
