Costco has officially addressed the allegations put forth by Diddy’s legal team, stating that the 1,000 bottles discovered at the rapper’s residences during recent raids in Miami and Beverly Hills in March of this year were allegedly purchased in bulk from Costco.
Diddy’s attorney contended that the bottles were intended for “freak offs”and emphasized that “Costcos are available in every location where he has a home.”
As Costco’s name surfaced in the media, the retail giant swiftly intervened and responded to the claims made by the rapper’s legal representatives. A spokesperson for the company spoke to TMZ and asserted:
“None of the Costco stores in the US carry baby oil.”
This statement by the retailer not only reignited questions regarding the quantity of baby oil but also sparked numerous reactions from the public on social media. An X user, @PopCrave, posted about the situation, prompting a response from another user who remarked:
“It’s so crazy that a Fortune 500 company had to step in and set the story straight.”
Additionally, many other users shared their thoughts on the controversy, contributing some humorous reactions:
“That’s quite the clarification! It’s fascinating how swiftly rumors can spread. Costco’s response truly puts that speculation to rest. Diddy’s choice of products is definitely raising some eyebrows!” commented one user.
“Diddy’s lawyer didn’t help his case at all,” added another X user.
“Costco sells COFFINS!! but baby oil is where they draw the line?” commented yet another user.
“Costco didn’t want anything to do with it,” wrote a different social media user.
“His lawyer thought he was being slick with that lie,” joked another.
“They must have wiped their stores clean of it, just like celebrities wipe their social media accounts,” added another X user.
“I think Americans buy in bulk” — Diddy’s lawyer’s statement explored as Costco denies stocking baby oil in their stores across the country
While Costco’s spokesperson maintained that the retailer does not carry baby oil, it is essential to remember that this entire situation was ignited after authorities uncovered 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricants at Diddy’s properties. Nevertheless, Diddy’s lawyers informed TMZ that he typically buys in bulk, similar to many Americans.
“He buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home. 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. I don’t know where the figure ‘1,000′ came from. I can’t imagine it’s thousands of bottles of baby oil and lube, and I’m not entirely sure what the baby oil has to do with anything.”
Furthermore, the lawyer added:
“I guess — I don’t know what you need a thousand for. One bottle of baby oil goes a long way. I don’t know what you need a thousand for. Diddy has a big house. He buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home. I mean, have you sat in a parking lot of a Costco and seen what people walk out of there with?”
Reports from The New York Post corroborate that Costco does not list baby oil on its website, nor is the product available at other competing retailers, raising further questions about the origin and intended use of the bottles.
For those unaware, Diddy was arrested on September 16, 2024, in New York following a grand jury indictment. This arrest occurred months after authorities raided his homes in March, prompted by multiple complaints from women alleging that the rapper had assaulted them both sexually and physically, and frequently compelled them to take drugs and engage in explicit conduct with sex workers.
However, due to the prosecution’s assertion that Diddy posed a “flight risk,” the judge denied bail, resulting in the rapper remaining in custody.
