Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, has found himself in hot water once again as federal agents recently confiscated a large number of baby oil and lubricant bottles from his homes in Miami and Los Angeles. However, his lawyer, Marc Agnifilio, has come to his defense with a rather bizarre explanation.
Agnifilio claims that the rapper simply likes to buy in bulk, just like any other American. “I don’t think it was 1,000. I think it was a lot. I mean, there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know,” he told The New York Post. The attorney emphasizes that the activities were consensual and that Americans shouldn’t be puritanical about these matters.
Combs, 54, is currently incarcerated pending trial on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has been accused of orchestrating ‘Freak Offs,’ which are described as elaborate sex performances that he directed and recorded.
Despite the serious charges against him, Agnifilio claims that Combs is feeling positive about his chances in court and is fully engaged in his defense. The allegations against Combs began with a lawsuit from his ex-partner Cassie Ventura, who accused him of abuse and rape. While the suit was settled, Combs has faced ongoing allegations of coercion, abuse, and violence against women.
Prosecutors have painted a dark picture of Combs, claiming that he used his power and influence to commit these crimes. They have seized evidence including drugs, videos, weapons, and the bottles of baby oil and lubricant from his homes. If convicted on all charges, Combs could face a mandatory 15 years in prison, with the possibility of a life sentence.
