The
customer
is
not
always
right
—
especially
when
it
comes
to
allegations
regarding
alleged
purchases
reportedly
used
in
scandalous
“freak
offs.”
Earlier
this
week,
Sean
“Diddy”
Combs,
the
man
behind
many
of
the
greatest
90s
rap
hits,
was
arrested
and
charged
with
three
criminal
counts
in
a
federal
indictment,
accusing
the
music
mogul
of
sex
trafficking,
racketeering,
and
transportation
to
engage
in
prostitution.
The
recording
artist
pleaded
not
guilty
during
his
arraignment
hearing
and
was
denied
bail.
Almost
immediately
after
Diddy’s
lawyer,
Marc
Agnifilo
of
Agnifilo
Intrater,
suggested
that
his
client’s
sizeable
cache
of
baby
oil
was
purchased
at
Costco,
the
beloved
bulk
retailer
stepped
forward
to
issue
a
statement
denying
the
attorney’s
assertions.
During
a
raid
of
the
rapper’s
homes,
federal
prosecutors
claim
that
more
than
1,000
bottles
of
baby
oil
were
found,
and
that
the
oil
was
allegedly
used
during
sex
parties.
If
you
recall,
Agnifilo
said
of
his
client’s
shopping
habits,
“He
buys
in
bulk.
I
think
they
have
Costcos
in
every
place
where
he
has
a
home.”
In
a
statement
given
to
TMZ,
a
Costco
spokesperson
said
that
none
of
the
store’s
locations
in
the
U.S.
sell
baby
oil.
As
noted
by
the
New
York
Post,
Sam’s
Club,
a
rival
warehouse
store,
doesn’t
sell
baby
oil
either.
Combs
is
currently
being
detained
while
he
awaits
trial,
but
his
baby
oil
ain’t
goin’
nowhere,
’cause
he’s
an
alleged
Bad
Boy
who
may
be
sentenced
to
life.
