Diddy funded, prepped Thanksgiving dinner for 1,000 fellow inmates: report

Sean “Diddy” Combs reportedly organized and funded an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner — at least by prison standards — for 1,000 of his fellow inmates at New Jersey’s FCI Fort Dix.

A rep for the Bad Boy Records founder, who’s currently serving a 50-month term for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, told TMZ that he worked with an internal group called Bankroll Bosses to purchase the provisions from the commissary and spent two days preparing the food.

They then distributed the food to every housing unit at Fort Dix, “enough for about 200 people [in] each building,” according to former gang leader B.I., who helped organize the dinner.

The traditional menu is said to have included turkey roast and trimmings, mashed potatoes, corn and a holiday dessert.

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

He added that despite certain beliefs about prison, there’s “a strong brotherhood. We all look out for each other. … It’s like a little bit of home in a dark place.”

Thursday marked Combs’ second Turkey Day behind bars following his arrest in September 2024. He spent more than 13 months in custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center before, during and after his trial for charges connected to the “elaborate sex performances” dubbed “freak-offs.”

He avoided a potential life sentence when he was acquitted in July of sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

On Oct. 30, he was transferred to the low-security Fort Dix, located about 35 miles northeast of Philly. He was there when he rang in his 56th birthday earlier this month.

Diddy’s attorneys specifically requested the move to Fort Dix, which houses a drug treatment unit that could help him address his substance abuse issues and, if successful, potentially shave time of Combs’ sentence.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons currently lists his release date listed as June 4, 2028, though he’s appealing his convictions. His legal team requested an expedited appeals process, which a judge granted earlier this month, with a potential hearing as early as April of next year.

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024. Notes allegedly found by police in Luigi Mangione's backpack after he was detained at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvani...

Freezing rain, ice threaten North Jersey and Hudson Valley, NYC to get mostly rain

Freezing rain and small accumulations of ice could hit northern parts of New Jersey and the southern Hudson Valley on Sunday night, meteorologists said. The new winter weather threat followed several inches of snow that fell from Friday night into Saturday morning. Though the snowstorm blanketed the five boroughs , temperatures in New York City are expected to remain high enough Sunday to avoid wintery conditions. “Temperatures along the immediate coast, including the NYC metro, are expected to inch just above freezing,” National Weather Service forecasters wrote Sunday. “When rain develops just after dark, [precipitation] here is expected to be mainly rain at onset.” But north and northwest of the city, temperatures will be cold enough to create freezing rain and small amounts of ice, according to the National Weather Service. The highest chance of ice was in Orange and Putnam counties in New York, Warren and Morris counties in New Jersey and Fairfield and New Haven counties in ...
