Rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing additional scrutiny after federal raids on his homes uncovered over 1,000 bottles of lubricant, along with narcotics and high-caliber weapons. The discovery, linked to allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering, has prompted mocking responses online, including from Diddy's longtime rival, rapper 50 Cent.

According to a report by Page Six, the raid, which took place in March, revealed a cache of lubricants and narcotics allegedly used during Diddy's "Freak Offs" — orgies involving multiple women and male sex workers. Additionally, AR-15 rifles with their serial numbers removed were seized from the properties, although it remains unclear whether the weapons were used in any crimes.
50 Cent took to social media to ridicule Diddy, sharing a photo of himself with Drew Barrymore and writing, "Here I am keeping good company with @DrewBarrymoreTV, and I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house." His post followed revelations from the unsealed indictment, which details Diddy's alleged involvement in orchestrating "Freak Offs" through his company, Combs Enterprise, described by authorities as a criminal organization.
The indictment also alleges that Diddy used physical violence and threats to maintain control over his victims, promising career opportunities while monitoring their movements and controlling their access to housing and medical care. Prosecutors are seeking to keep Diddy in custody until trial, citing him as a flight risk. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams commented, "There is a presumption of detention in a case like this, and we think that's warranted."
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
