In an unusual turn of events, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer has explained the finding of almost 1,000 bottles of baby oil during raids on the music mogul’s houses in Miami and Los Angeles.
The revelation was part of a bigger investigation into the rapper’s alleged sex trafficking and racketeering allegations.
During raids earlier this year, federal authorities recovered the baby oil and other damning things.
Drugs and guns were among the goods seized from Combs’ homes in March.
These raids were part of a long-running investigation into Combs’ alleged involvement in major crimes.
Diddy, who was arrested on September 16, is now facing several accusations.
The allegations come from claims of staging extravagant sexual displays known as “Freak Offs.”
These “Freak Offs” allegedly entailed compulsion and explicit behavior, placing Diddy at the heart of the controversy.
The finding of the baby oil provided an unexpected twist to the case.
Many have questioned the relevance of such a big number, eliciting interest and discussion.
As the details emerged, the public’s interest was on what the defense would say in response.
Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, sought to explain the baby oil discovery in an interview.
He claimed that the sum may not be as alarming as it appears, implying Diddy’s predilection for big purchases.
“I don’t believe it was 1,000. “I think it was a lot,” Agnifilo joked, pointing out the nearby Costco.
Agnifilo also suggested that Diddy’s bulk purchasing practices could explain the volume of baby oil.
He disregarded the idea that there was cause for concern.
“Americans buy in bulk, as we all know,” he remarked, attempting to minimize the significance of the discovery.
In addition, Agnifilo indicated that the amount of baby oil discovered should not be associated with any illegality.
He also defended Diddy, indicating that the oil may be part of consensual adult conduct.
He said, “Can we stop being so puritanical?”
