Diddy’s Mindset Before He Spends Christmas in Prison

Weeks ago, Sean “Diddy” Combs spent Thanksgiving in prison after his fourth bail attempt was denied.

Now, Combs is now preparing for his first Christmas behind bars at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

A source told Us Weekly, “He’s trying to stay positive.”

Referencing his kids — Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, Christian, 26, Chance, 18, twins D’Lila and Jessie, 17, and Love, 2 — the insider added, “The holidays will be especially hard for the family without their father.”

“The family will be honoring [Diddy] on Christmas,” the source emphasized. “They’re trying to speak to him as much as they can.”

Diddy’s mom Janice Combs has reportedly “been back and forth visiting” her grandkids, who are currently living in Florida with a family friend.

On Christmas, Combs will be given the opportunity to play card games, dominoes, soccer and a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, an MDC Brooklyn spokesperson recently told Fox News Digital.

It looks like Diddy has a good rapport with fellow inmates. An insider told People magazine, "He’s well-liked inside prison. People are getting along with him."

As for what’s on the menu that day, Combs’ meals will include baked Cornish hen, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, and a "holiday dessert."

Combs is awaiting a May 2025 trial after pleading not guilty to charges of racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. 

"Extra's" Billy Bush recently spoke with CNN correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister, who has been covering Diddy's case extensively.

Though Diddy's trial is supposed to start on the same day as the 2024 Met Gala, Wagmeister noted, "That date is set but it could be a moving target."

She explained, "The grand jury is constantly convening, hearing from other witnesses... if they add more defendants, they could need more time."
