The lawyer of American rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs’ has explained the rapper’s alleged possession of 1,000 bottles of baby oil, stating that the hip-hop mogul likely buys in bulk.
Diddy was arrested on September 16 in New York and later charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains in custody as he awaits trial.
The federal prosecutors claimed that Homeland Security found the extensive supply during a raid on Diddy’s properties as part of an ongoing investigation into sex trafficking.
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.
But reacting to the allegation, Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo said in an interview with TMZ, “I don’t know where the number ‘1,000’ came from. I can’t imagine it’s thousands,” Agnifilo said,
He added 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 suggested that Diddy, who owns multiple homes, might simply purchase 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.
Agnifilo insisted that any activities involving Diddy were consensual, adding, “These are consensual adults doing what consensual adults do.”
