Costco has issued a statement refuting claims made by Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer that the rapper may have purchased 1,000 bottles of baby oil from their stores. The bizarre statement from Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, came after federal agents reportedly found a large stockpile of baby oil, along with other materials, at Diddy’s Miami residence during their investigation into his alleged criminal activities. Agnifilo suggested that purchasing in bulk was common in the U.S., speculating that Diddy might have obtained the baby oil from a nearby Costco.
However, Costco has firmly denied selling baby oil at any of its locations across the country. The lawyer’s comments were made in an attempt to downplay the significance of the discovery, arguing that the presence of such items does not imply criminal intent, as Diddy maintains that the “Freak Off” parties, which are under investigation, involved consensual adults. Diddy is currently being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering.
The investigation has also uncovered bondage materials, sex tapes, hidden cameras, and specially designed rooms allegedly used for orchestrating drug-fueled sexual encounters. Agnifilo has defended his client, asserting that the activities were consensual and that Diddy is innocent of all charges. If convicted, Diddy faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison, with the possibility of life behind bars. The case has drawn significant media attention, with the Costco statement adding another unusual element to the ongoing legal drama.
