Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyer has clarified why federal agents found a large quantity of baby oil at the rapper’s Miami and Los Angeles homes, attributing it to his client’s habit of buying in bulk, just like many Americans.
Marc Agnifilio responded to reports that agents seized “1,000 bottles” of baby oil and lubricant during a raid related to an ongoing investigation into Combs’ alleged involvement in a sex trafficking case.
In an interview with The New York Post, Agnifilio said, “I don’t think it was 1,000, but it was a lot. There’s a Costco down the street, and we know Americans like to buy in bulk.”
He added, “These are consensual adults engaging in consensual activities. We shouldn’t be so puritanical as to think that sex is bad — otherwise, there would be no more people.”
Agnifilio’s remarks come as Combs, 54, faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals for prostitution. The rapper is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center pending trial.
Combs has been accused of orchestrating elaborate sex events known as “Freak Offs,” which allegedly involved multiple days of sexual activity, drug use, and the need for IV fluids to recover.
Despite the serious charges, Combs has pleaded not guilty and remains optimistic about his legal battle, with his lawyer stating, “He’s laser-focused, engaged, and confident.”
The arrest follows a string of allegations, starting with a lawsuit by ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who accused Combs of physical and sexual abuse. Though the lawsuit was settled shortly after it was filed, Combs continues to face other accusations.
Authorities also seized drugs, guns, and ammunition during the raids, including three AR-15 rifles with defaced serial numbers. A conviction on all charges could result in a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and potentially life in prison.
