Sean “Diddy” Combs surprised his fellow inmates at Fort Dix with an unexpectedly warm Thanksgiving, turning what was expected to be a bleak holiday into something closer to comfort and community.

Dede, who began serving his 50-month sentence on Oct. 30 for violating the Mann Act, partnered with an inmate-led group called Bankroll Bosses to prepare a special meal for the entire facility.

According to his representative who spoke to him TMZThe group pooled complex funds to purchase ingredients and spent two days cooking and assembling food for each housing unit, enough to feed approximately 200 inmates per block.

They had to get creative to accomplish the feat, said BI, a former gang leader who helped coordinate the effort.

The former gang leader, known as BI, explained that with no stoves or microwaves available, the prisoners would improvise as much as they could, even using their ID cards as makeshift knives. However, they were able to prepare and distribute all the meals themselves.

Typically, prisons only serve the bare minimum of a holiday meal, such as an “in and out” service that includes roasted turkey with trimmings, mashed potatoes, corn, and pudding.

But guests say the extra effort from Dede and his team brought a sense of care and togetherness that made the day feel different.

Commenting on this initiative, Didi said that he wants to help raise morale during difficult times.

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

The disgraced rapper also revealed that he is adjusting to life indoors and finding unexpected solidarity.

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

The spokesman stated that Didi did not violate any prison rules and stressed that his sobriety and self-discipline remain priorities.
