Costco has denied selling baby oil after\u00a0D<\/a>iddy<\/span>‘s lawyer suggested the rapper had so many bottles of it at his home because he likes to buy in bulk, like any regular American.<\/p>\n

The rapper’s attorney, Marc Agnifilio, gave the\u00a0bizarre explanation<\/span>\u00a0earlier this week as he was asked about the over 1,000 bottles of baby oil that federal agents\u00a0reportedly found in Diddy’<\/a><\/span>s Miami home.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t think it was 1,000. I think it was a lot. I mean, there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know,’ Agnifilo told the New York Post.<\/p>\n

‘And you know these are consensual adults doing what consensual adults do, 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.’<\/p>\n

But Costco, a member’s only retailer, has now told\u00a0TMZ\u00a0on Thursday that they don’t sell baby oil in any of their locations across the country.<\/p>\n

      Diddy, real name Sean Combs, has been accused of arranging ‘Freak Offs,’ described as ‘elaborate and produced sex performances’ arranged and directed by the star while he masturbated and often recorded them.<\/p>\n

      Aside from the stockpile of baby oil, prosecutors say they also found bondage materials, sex tapes, hidden cameras and rooms designed for sexual performances.<\/p>\n

      The indictment stated that some ‘Freak Offs’ would last for days, requiring Diddy, 54, and victims to receive IV fluids to recover from the exertion and drug use.<\/p>\n

      He has pleaded not guilty<\/span>\u00a0to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.<\/p>\n

      Agnifilio said his client is feeling positive about his chances in court.<\/p>\n

      ‘He’s just laser-focused, he’s engaged, he’s helpful, he’s confident. We’re going through our defense as we do every day and his spirits are relatively good.’<\/p>\n

          A picture from inside Diddy’s Miami home shows how law enforcement agents conducted thorough searches<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

          Diddy’s arrest came 10 months after allegations of sexual and other abuse against the music mogul, and an announcement from prosecutors that he was being investigated for sex trafficking.<\/p>\n

          The allegations began with a lawsuit by Diddy’s ex Cassie Ventura which claimed she was beaten and raped by the star.<\/p>\n

          The suit was settled the day after it became public, but Diddy has since been dogged by other claims.<\/p>\n

          The indictment against him also alleges he coerced and abused women for years while using blackmail and shocking acts of violence to keep his victims in line.<\/p>\n

          It refers obliquely to an attack on his former girlfriend, Cassie, that was captured on video.<\/p>\n

          Prosecutors wanted him jailed. His attorneys proposed that he be released on a $50 million bond to home detention with electronic monitoring. US Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky sided with the government.<\/p>\n

          Like many aging hip-hop figures, Bad Boy Records founder Diddy had established a gentler public image.<\/p>\n
