Sean “Diddy” Combs was a prominent figure in hip-hop, known for his skills as a rapper and producer. As the founder of Bad Boy Records, he played a key role in launching the careers of artists like Usher, Mary J. Blige, and The Notorious B.I.G. during the 1990s. Diddy also found success in his solo career, with two of his five albums making it to the top of the Billboard 200 chart.
However, following recent raids by the Department of Homeland Security at his residences in Miami and Los Angeles, Diddy’s reputation has severely declined. He is currently detained in a New York City facility as he faces charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. The raids led to the discovery of various items that may become central to his legal defense.
Diddy’s Defense: A Common Consumer
Marc Agnifilo, a lawyer representing Combs, spoke to TMZ during an interview related to an upcoming Diddy documentary. In the discussion with Harvey Levin, Agnifilo addressed the issue of a reported thousands of baby oil bottles found during the raids on Diddy’s properties.
Agnifilo challenged the claims regarding the quantity of baby oil, arguing that “one bottle of baby oil lasts a long time” in light of the accusations claiming Diddy misused it during his “Freak Off” parties, where he allegedly assaulted individuals over the years.
“I’m not sure where the number of a thousand originated,” he stated. “I find it hard to believe that there are thousands. The relevance of the baby oil is unclear,” he added.
Agnifilo further argued that Combs resembles many other Americans who buy household items in bulk from wholesale stores like Costco.
“Costcos are located near all his residences,” Agnifilo pointed out. “Have you ever observed what people buy there?”
Despite Agnifilo’s efforts to clarify the large quantities of baby oil found, public sentiment against the disgraced mogul continues to grow. Combs is being held without bail due to the serious nature of the allegations and remains in custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after pleading not guilty to the charges.
