Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attorney has clarified the rapper’s supposed possession of 1,000 bottles of baby oil, suggesting that the hip-hop mogul tends to purchase items in bulk.
These comments follow federal prosecutors’ assertions that Homeland Security discovered the large quantity during a raid on Diddy’s properties as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
In an interview with TMZ, Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, expressed doubts about the reported number of bottles.
“I don’t know where the number ‘1,000’ came from. I can’t imagine it’s thousands,” Agnifilo said, adding that the quantity may have been exaggerated. “One bottle of baby oil goes a long way,” he noted, questioning the need for such a large supply.
Agnifilo also proposed that Diddy, who has several properties, may just be buying items in bulk.
“He has a big house. He buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home,” he stated, making light of the situation by referencing the bulk-buying habits commonly associated with large retail stores.
The baby oil was reportedly discovered alongside other items during a raid connected to allegations that Diddy hosted “freak off” sex parties involving coerced sexual performances, claims that the 54-year-old mogul has denied. Agnifilo insisted that any activities involving Diddy were consensual, adding, “These are consensual adults doing what consensual adults do.”
Diddy was taken into custody on September 16 in New York and subsequently charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges and is currently being held as he awaits trial.
