Breaking news:Diddy’s Lawyer Suggests Rapper Stockpiled Baby Oil Because ‘There’s a Costco Right Down the Street’ | and ….
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo told a reporter that the rapper stockpiled baby oil in his home simply because he likes to shop in bulk. “I mean, there’s a Costco right down the street,” he said. “I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know.”
“And this is consensual adults doing what consensual adults do,” he added. “We can’t get too puritanical in this country to think that somehow sex is a bad thing, because if it was, there’d be no more people.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs’s sex trafficking case has driven interest in — and speculation about — his relationship with ex-girlfriend Kim Porter, who died in 2018 at the age of 47.
The incarcerated rap mogul and their children issued statements on Sept. 24 slamming what they say is a fake memoir purportedly written by the late model that was published this month.
They also cited “horrific conspiracy theories” around Porter’s death, insisting there was no foul play. Since Diddy’s Sept. 16 arrest and subsequent felony charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, there have been calls to open an investigation into Porter’s death, most notably from singer-songwriter Al B. Sure!, who is the father of Porter’s eldest child, Quincy Brown.
Combes was arrested and charged with three federal counts of sex trafficking and racketeering. A judge denied his team’s request for bail, and noted that Combs’ resources make him a flight risk.
The indictment, which was unsealed Tuesday, accused Combs and associates of having “engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, coercion and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”
The indictment also indicated at least 1,000 bottles of baby oil were seized from Combs’ home during raids earlier this year. Combs was accused of having organized “Freak Offs” which were described as “elaborate sex performances” in which “force, threats of force, and coercion” was used “to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers.” The rapper was further accused of recording the events.
Following his arrest, Agnifilo told TMZ on his way into the courthouse that his client will “fight like hell.”
“Sean Diddy Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community,” Agnifilo said. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.”
