Diddy’s Thanksgiving menu has been disclosed amid his legal troubles. The 55-year-old rapper, charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution—charges he denies—is making a third attempt to secure bail.

If denied, he will spend the holiday at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, dining on basic meals like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and potato chips.

According to People, Diddy’s Thanksgiving at the Metropolitan Detention Center will start with a 6 a.m. breakfast of fruit, cereal, and pastries on November 28.

Lunch at 11 a.m. will feature turkey roast or hot & sour tofu with sides such as mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, dinner rolls, and assorted holiday pie.

After a 4 p.m. headcount, dinner will include peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, potato chips, whole wheat bread, and fruit.

Combs was taken into custody on September 16 on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. The indictment alleges that since 2008, Combs has abused, threatened, and coerced women to fulfill his sexual desires and protect his reputation.

After his arrest, Diddy was denied bail, despite offering his and his mother’s Miami homes, valued at $50 million, as collateral. Diddy recently lost a second appeal to overturn his bail denial.

Last week, he filed a third bail application, arguing that his reputation has been destroyed by the sex trafficking charges and media tactics used by prosecutors.

The hip hop mogul claimed the allegations of running a decade-long criminal enterprise are fictional and that only an acquittal could restore his public image.

He accused prosecutors of putting a theatrical spin on the truth. Combs attempted to discredit his accusers, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, in his defense. He argued that a second alleged victim wasn’t actually a victim, as she had been “voluntarily intimate” with him for years.

Diddy was accused of organizing drug-fueled orgies, known as “Freak Offs,” where women were coerced into lengthy sex sessions, sometimes involving male prostitutes. He denied the allegations, including sex trafficking and racketeering, and is set to go on trial in May next year.

In his third bail application, Diddy’s lawyers wrote: “Mr Combs fully intends to face these charges.

“The prospect of a conviction does not materially change his incentives here, where his reputation has already been destroyed by the government’s allegations and aggressive and deceptive media tactics, and can only be rebuilt by winning at trial.”

He was recently been hit with five new civil lawsuits, adding to a growing number that is expected to exceed 100.

One of the new claims involves a woman alleging she was drugged and raped at one of Diddy’s infamous “White Parties” in the Hamptons, New York. Diddy’s lawyers have denied all civil allegations.
