(NewsNation) — Sean “Diddy” Combs isn’t adjusting well to his new prison diet, his lawyer told reporters after a status conference at a federal courthouse in Manhattan Thursday.
“I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it,” Marc Agnifilo, who represents Combs, said
Throughout his nearly month-long prison stint, Diddy has been eating scrambled eggs and biscuits for breakfast, hamburgers and beef tacos for lunch and chicken fajitas and pasta for dinner, among other food items, PEOPLE reported.
The rap mogul faces multiple federal criminal charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking. Simultaneously, at least 120 people have contacted a Houston lawyer about filing charges relating to sexual misconduct allegations.
Diddy has been denied bail twice, so he remains in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center. A judge will review his lawyers’ third motion for release, which proposes a $50 million bail package.
Diddy’s lawyer previously described the prison’s conditions as “horrific” in his first bail proposal filed Sept. 17, one day after the arrest. Unless a judge grants him bail, Combs will have to await his May 5, 2025, trial behind bars.
In an FBI raid of Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles homes, authorities seized 1,000 bottles of baby oil, according to an indictment.
His lawyer explained the reason: “He has a big house. He buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place he has a home,” Agnifilo said to TMZ in a documentary titled “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment.”
A spokesperson for Costco said none of the company’s U.S. locations sell baby oil, TMZ reported. A lawyer representing one of Combs’ alleged victims has another explanation for the bottles.
“(Combs) takes what she believes is some type of liquid substance … and he squirts it at her, and she originally thought it was acid or something, but then she realized that it was some type of lubricant or oil,” said Ariel Mitchell-Kidd on NewsNation’s Banfield.
Her client, who accuses the 54-year-old musician of rape, claims her body began to go “limp” after the lubricant was on her body, Mitchell-Kidd said, then explaining how body oils can be used as a “conduit” to administer the sedative drug GHB during the alleged sexual assaults.
