Diddy faces possible life sentence in sex trafficking trial

Sean “Diddy” Combs won’t be popping any Cîroc vodka bottles this Memorial Day.

The fallen music mogul, who is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, New York, will be celebrating the US national holiday on Monday local time differently than he’s used to.

The disgraced hip-hop pioneer will spend the day engaging in friendly competition with his fellow inmates, playing 3-on-3 basketball, games of dominoes, spades and board games, according to the New York Post.

Combs, 55, will have various food items to choose from throughout the day, starting with fruit, cereal and a muffin for breakfast.

For lunch, the dad of seven will dine on BBQ chicken, kidney beans, macaroni and cheese, mixed veggies and a holiday dessert, while dinner will consist of chicken, tofu, rice, pinto beans, canned corn and whole wheat bread.

Page Six reached out to Combs’ representatives for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Combs is currently on trial, facing three charges: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The “I’ll Be Missing You” emcee has pleaded not guilty and denied all culpability.

Several witnesses have testified about Combs’ alleged physical abuse against his ex Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, including singer Dawn Richard and rapper Kid Cudi.

The former Danity Kane singer, 41, claimed she saw the Revolt co-founder get “violent or volatile” toward the “Me & U” songstress.

“He would drag her and kick her and punch her in the mouth,” she told the jury last Monday, alleging that Ventura, 38, would be attacked when she “would speak up for herself.”

The “Long Way 2 Go” singer testified as well, telling the jurors that she would get UTIs and sores in her mouth due to the sex- and drug-filled “freak-off” parties the rapper allegedly made her join.

Kid Cudi, who briefly dated Ventura, alleged that Diddy firebombed his Porsche to warn him away from Ventura.

Combs’ sex trafficking trial will continue Tuesday after the holiday break.
