Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, explained why the rapper had 1,000 bottles of lubricant and baby oil in his homes during the Homeland Security raids.
“I don’t know where the number a thousand came [from] … I can’t imagine it’s thousands. I’m not really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything,” he told TMZ for their forthcoming documentary, “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment.”
When TMZ founder Harvey Levin said the feds believe Combs used the massive amount of baby oil as “lubricant for an orgy,” Agnifilo said, “I guess. I don’t know what you need a thousand — one bottle of baby oil goes a long way.”
The attorney then tried to explain that the Bad Boy Records founder, 54, may have bought in “bulk” from a wholesale corporation such as Costco.
“I mean, he has a big house. He buys in bulk, you know,” he said.
“I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home. Have you sat in the parking lot of a Costco and see what people walk out of there with?”
“Not a thousand bottles of baby oil,” Levin, 74, pushed back.
In Combs’ 14-page indictment released last week, the feds claimed they seized the many bottles of baby oil and lube in the March raids on the “Act Bad” rapper’s Miami and Los Angeles homes.
Additionally, they also discovered “firearms and ammunition, including three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers” and a drum magazine.
Authorities believe the many bottles of baby oil and lubricant were used as supplies for Combs’ notorious “freak-offs,” or wild sex parties that were filled with drugs and alcohol.
The festivities turned sinister, however, according to victims who claimed they were drugged, raped and recorded engaging in sexual activity without their consent.
“[Combs] electronically recorded [the freak-offs],” Damian Williams, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, told the press last week.
“The freak-offs sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers and often involved a variety of narcotics, such as ketamine, ecstasy and GHB, which Combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant.”
Williams said the dad of seven “used the embarrassing and sensitive recordings he made of the freak-off as collateral against the victims.”
On Sept. 16, the “I’ll Be Missing You” emcee was arrested by federal agents at the Park Hyatt hotel in New York City.
Combs was charged with three counts: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is being held without bail at a detention center in Brooklyn.
