Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer thinks there’s a simple explanation for the rapper’s massive supply of baby oil: He buys in bulk.
Marc Agnifilo spoke about the disgraced hip-hop mogul’s arrest and federal prosecutors’ claim that Homeland Security found 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lube when they raided Combs’ mansions while speaking with TMZ, echoing what he told The Post in an exclusive interview last week.
“Back when I was a kid in the late ’70s, they were called threesomes,” Agnifilo said of the so-called “freak off” sex parties that the US Attorneys allege Diddy, 54, hosted. According to the feds, Diddy would lure and coerce women to engage in sexual performances with male sex workers for him to watch and record — sometimes without their knowledge.
As for why Combs would need 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lube if the rapper was having threesomes and not “freak offs,” Agnifilo told TMZ, “I don’t know where the number ‘1,000’ came from. I can’t imagine its thousands [of bottles of baby oil and lube], and I’m not really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything.”
When TMZ’s Harvey Levin explained that the baby oil could be used as “a lubricant for an orgy,” the rapper’s attorney responded, “I guess — I don’t know what you need a thousand [for]. One bottle of baby oil goes a long way. I don’t what you need a thousand for.”
Agnifilo added, “[Diddy] has a big house. He buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where has a home. I mean have you sat in a parking lot of a Costco and see what people wale out of there with?”
“I don’t think it was a thousand. Let’s just say it was a lot.”
Agnifilo made the same assertion to The Post last week, doubting the US Attorney’s accounting of Diddy’s baby oil and lube collection but admitting that he believes the star had “a lot.”
“I mean, there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know,” Agnifilo told The Post outside Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center Saturday, where Diddy remains in custody as he awaits trial.
“And you know these are consensual adults doing what consensual adults do,” he added. “You know, we can’t get so puritanical in this country to think that somehow sex is a bad thing because if it was there would be no more people.”
Combs was arrested on Sept. 16 at a hotel in New York City by officers from Homeland Security Investigations. The “I’ll Be Missing You” hip-hop mogul traveled to New York in anticipation of his arrest following a grand jury indictment.
Diddy was arraigned in a federal court in Manhattan the following day and charged with three counts of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty on all charges.
