Sean “Diddy” Combs had more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil at his home because he buys in bulk to get a good deal, according to his lawyer.
The 54-year-old rap mogul was arrested last week and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, with reports detailing various items police had seized when his house was raided earlier this year.
The “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, initially played down the number of bottles.
“I don’t know where the number 1,000 came from,” Agnifilo told TMZ in a preview of their documentary, “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment”.
“I’m really not sure what the baby oil has to do with anything.”
When Agnifilo was told the number came from federal documents and that prosecutors suggested the oil had been used during orgies, the lawyer added: “I guess. I don’t know [why] you need 1,000 — one bottle of baby oil goes a long way. I don’t know what you’d even need 1,000 for. He has a big house, he buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home.
‘Let’s just say it’s a lot’
“Have you sat in the parking lot of a Costco and [seen] what people walk out of there with? I don’t think it was a thousand. I think it was — let’s just say it’s a lot.”
The indictment alleges Diddy organized so-called “Freak Offs,” which were described as “elaborate sex performances” during which female victims were compelled through “force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers.”
But the rapper’s lawyer played down the claim.
“They called them ‘freak offs,’ ” Agnifilo said. “But, you know, back when I was a kid in the late ‘70s, they were called threesomes.”
In the indictment, Diddy is also accused of arranging, directing, masturbating during and frequently “electronically recording” the alleged sex shows, as well as transporting commercial sex workers “across state lines and internationally.”
‘Obedient and compliant’
Documents stated: “During Freak Offs, Combs distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant. … Sometimes unbeknownst to the victims, Combs kept videos he filmed of victims engaging in sex acts with commercial sex workers.”
Elsewhere in the paperwork, it discussed the seizing of the baby oil.
It stated: “In or about March 2024, during searches of Combs’ residences in Miami, Florida, and Los Angeles, California, law enforcement seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.”
Diddy has denied the charges against him and is currently in jail awaiting trial.
