Sean Combs Trades Bling for Biscuits: What Really Went Down at His Thanksgiving Behind Bars?

Added on November 29, 2025 inMusic News Cards

If you’d predicted last Thanksgiving that Sean “Diddy” Combs would be swapping red carpets for prison commissary mashed potatoes, you’d probably have gotten some odd looks—unless you’re into astrology, in which case Mercury’s retrograde and Saturn’s irony might’ve tipped you off . Now, as Jupiter sashays through Pisces (not making this up, check your horoscope!), Combs is shaking up the universe behind bars at Fort Dix, cobbling together turkey roasts and a sense of family out of thin air and ID cards . Pause a second—doesn’t that photo look like a completely different energy from the dude now organizing a commissary potluck in federal prison? Maybe that’s just Neptune blurring the lines between our icons and their realities… or maybe it’s just the oddity of 2025 . Either way, Diddy’s pivot to a Thanksgiving MVP—while clad in correctional beige—is proof that the cosmos has a wild sense of humor . How do you create “home” when yours is now a cell block? Apparently, it takes teamwork, ingenuity, and a dash of defiant gratitude . LEARN MORE

Sean Combs says he helped to organize and pay for Thanksgiving meals for his fellow prison inmates.

Combs, who is serving a four-year sentence at the New Jersey-based federal correctional institution known as FCI Fort Dix, told TMZ through his rep that he worked with an internal group called Bankroll Bosses to make the meals happen. Combs and others bought food from the prison commissary, spent two days preparing the meals and then distributed them to every housing unit at Fort Dix. The meal consisted of turkey roast, mashed potatoes, corn and dessert. Given their limited resources, Combs and others used ID cards for cutting the food and had no access to stoves or microwaves.

“Thanksgiving, to me, is about making sure other people eat,” Combs told TMZ. “Everybody misses their family. People get depressed during the holidays. We just wanted to come together as a family and do our own thing.”

Combs was moved to Fort Dix in October following his sentence of four years and two months in prison after being found guilty this summer on two counts of violating the Mann Act, which involves transportation of individuals for the purpose of prostitution. He was also ordered to pay a $500,000 fine and undergo a five-year supervised release.

“There’s a lot of misinterpretations about prison,” he told TMZ. “There is a strong brotherhood. We all look out for each other. It’s nothing but a positive thing. It’s like a little bit of home in a dark place.”
