Costco, $COST, has responded to the Sean Diddy Combs story and said "none of the company's US locations carry baby oil."
Costco is refuting a claim made by Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer that the rapper’s extensive baby oil collection was sourced from their stores. The statement came after US attorneys alleged they discovered 1,000 bottles of baby oil at Combs' mansions, which they claim were used during “freak offs”—multiday drug-fueled parties that Diddy allegedly coerced women to participate in.
Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, suggested that the hip-hop mogul acquired the large quantity of baby oil because he shops at Costco, stating, “He buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home.”
In response, a Costco spokesperson told TMZ on Thursday that the company’s US locations do not carry baby oil, and the product is not listed on their website. Rival warehouse chain Sam’s Club also does not offer baby oil in its inventory.
Costco’s denial directly challenges Agnifilo’s assertion, pushing back on the implication that the rapper’s baby oil supply was purchased from their stores.
