Sex Trafficking: US Store Denies Selling Baby Oil To Diddy
In a recent development surrounding the ongoing legal battles of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, American wholesale giant Costco has publicly denied claims that they sold baby oil to the embattled rapper.
This comes after allegations surfaced linking Diddy to a high-profile sex trafficking case.
According to reports, federal officers raided Diddy’s Beverly Hills mansion in March, uncovering supplies they allege were intended for illicit activities, including over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and various drugs.
These items were said to be linked to so-called “freak offs”—wild parties involving orgies, drugs, and other forms of debauchery.

In the new TMZ Studios documentary, The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, claimed that his client possessed large quantities of baby oil because he purchased them in bulk from Costco.
However, Costco swiftly refuted these claims. Speaking to TMZ, a spokesperson for the retail chain stated, “None of the company’s US locations carry baby oil.” The denial casts doubt on the defense’s claims about Diddy’s procurement of the product.
The accusations against Diddy have only intensified in recent weeks. In September, he was arrested by Homeland Security, facing charges including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and interstate transportation for prostitution. Despite the seriousness of the allegations, Diddy has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty in court on Tuesday, 17 September.
Despite his legal team’s efforts to secure his release on bail, the court has twice denied Diddy’s requests, leaving the Bad Boy Records founder to remain in custody as investigations continue.
The case has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with many closely watching the proceedings as new details emerge. If convicted, Diddy could face severe penalties that would likely mark the end of his storied career in music and entertainment.
This case against Diddy highlights the growing scrutiny on celebrities and their involvement in criminal activities, particularly those related to trafficking and exploitation. With federal officers leading the investigation, the charges against the rapper are expected to unravel further in the coming months.
As the legal battle unfolds, Diddy’s fans and detractors alike will continue to follow the updates, waiting to see how this high-profile case resolves and what implications it may have for the future of the entertainment industry.
