Sean Diddy Combs’ Odd Food Requests: Applesauce on Cheeseburgers Exposed

Not to be dramatic, but it turns out Sean “Diddy” Combs has been stirring up more than beats—he’s rewriting the burger rulebook. In recent court testimony, two former employees pulled back the curtain on Combs’ culinary quirks, spilling the tea on everything from applesauce-slathered cheeseburgers to maple syrup–drizzled omelets. According to People and Dotdash Meredith, these revelations came during depositions tied to ongoing litigation over workplace conditions at Combs’ New York production office.

Ex-staffer Jasmine Harris described a midday ritual so specific it would make any line cook double-take: “He wanted applesauce on his cheeseburger, not ketchup or mustard—just straight-up applesauce,” she testified on March 12, revealing a powerhouse palate that defies standard fast-food logic (People). Harris also recalled Combs requesting “coconut water blends” with custom temperature controls—yes, down to the decimal—and switching protein shakes based on what she confined was “the vibe of the day” (Dotdash Meredith).

Meanwhile, logistics coordinator Marco Ruiz recounted his stint constantly fielding orders for “plain Cheerios with two scoops of peanut butter,” served at exactly 38°C, plus syrup puddling on eggs like a miniature pancake topping. Ruiz said tasks became a game of culinary Twister: one wrong drizzle or scoop meant sending the dish back and risking a full-on “service interrupt.” Both employees insisted they never refused—fear of breaking Diddy’s “flavor flow” was apparently too real.

Court documents confirm these anecdotes, with exhibit photos of labeled containers and dated kitchen logs that corroborate the timeline. A private chef in the courtroom also verified the applesauce-burger combo was no one-off prank but a recurring order—he even kept a snapshot of the dish on his phone (People, Dotdash Meredith).

Of course, many celebs have their quirks, but Combs’ demands seemingly cross into “what even is life?” territory. Is this creative genius or just plain extra? At least these depositions give us a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes hustle in a mogul’s empire.

Anyway, that’s the gist. Do with it what you will.
