Costco has denied claims that rapper Diddy purchased baby oil in bulk from their stores, contradicting a potential explanation offered by his lawyer.
Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, suggested the baby oil—seized during federal raids on the rapper’s homes—could have been bought in large quantities from the members-only retailer. However, a Costco spokesperson told TMZ that none of its U.S. locations sell baby oil.
TMZ also did a quick search of Costco’s website and confirmed that the store does not offer baby oil, though it does sell other baby products like hair and cleansing gel. Similarly, a check of Sam’s Club, another major retailer, showed no baby oil listed for sale.
The confusion follows Diddy’s recent legal troubles. According to an unsealed federal indictment, authorities confiscated 1,000 bottles of baby oil during March raids on Diddy’s Miami and Los Angeles homes. The document also alleges that the rapper organized “Freak Offs,” drug-fueled parties where women were coerced into engaging in sex acts with male commercial sex workers.
The federal case continues to unfold, with questions mounting over the rapper’s involvement in these serious allegations.
