Sean Diddy Combs
Following Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent arrest in New York City on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution-related offenses, his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has addressed the seizure of 1,000 bottles of baby oil from the rapper’s home.
Just over a week after being taken into police custody and facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution, the rapper’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, spoke out to address the strange details surrounding the case.
In an interview with TMZ, Agnifilo sought to clarify the situation, stating, “I don’t know where the number 1,000 came from. I can’t imagine it’s thousands.”
His comments come as part of a promotional effort for the upcoming documentary titled The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, which was released on September 25.
NBC reports that upon confirming the number from federal documents, Combs’ attorney was quick to question the relevance of the baby oil. It was suggested during the interview that the oil might have been used for lubrication during orgies.
“I guess,” Agnifilo responded. “I don’t know why anyone would need 1,000 bottles—one bottle of baby oil goes a long way. What would you even do with that many?”
When asked why the music mogul might have such a large stock of baby oil, Agnifilo suggested, “He has a big house and buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos wherever he has a home.”
He humorously noted, “Have you ever sat in a Costco parking lot and seen what people walk out with?”
Regarding the claim of 1,000 bottles, Agnifilo expressed skepticism, stating, “I don’t think it was a thousand. Let’s just say it’s a lot.”
He also touched on Combs’ so-called “Freak Offs,” telling TMZ, “They called them ‘freak offs.’ Back when I was a kid in the late ‘70s, we called them threesomes.”
The federal Indictment, obtained by E! News, described these “Freak Offs” as “elaborate sex performances” where female victims were allegedly coerced through force and threats to engage in extended sexual acts with male commercial sex workers.
The document also accused Combs of arranging and directing these events, during which he reportedly masturbated and recorded the acts, as well as transporting commercial sex workers across state lines and internationally.
“During Freak Offs, Combs distributed various controlled substances to victims to keep them compliant,” the indictment stated, adding that both Combs and the victims sometimes received IV fluids to recover from exertion and drug use. “Unbeknownst to the victims, Combs allegedly kept videos of them engaging in sexual acts with commercial sex workers.”
The indictment detailed the discovery of the baby oil, stating, “In March 2024, law enforcement seized various supplies associated with the Freak Offs, including narcotics and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” during searches of Combs’ residences in Miami and Los Angeles.
Combs was arrested in New York City on September 16 and pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution during a hearing on September 17.
Just days after his arrest, a 1999 video surfaced in which the Bad Boys Entertainment founder seemed to predict he would eventually be arrested for his extravagant parties.
“You’re gonna hear about my parties; they’re gonna be shutting them down,” Combs told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “They’ll probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just because we want to have a good time.”
He added, “They won’t even give me a permit for the parties, man. They don’t want me to throw them anymore. But we’re not stopping; we’re going to keep having fun, bringing people together from all walks of life.” (Sahara Reporters)
