Costco Denies Selling Baby Oil to Diddy After Sex Trafficking Allegations
American wholesale giant Costco has officially denied allegations that it sold baby oil to Sean Combs, better known as Diddy, following recent controversies surrounding the rapper.
This denial comes after federal agents raided Diddy’s Beverly Hills mansion in March, where they reportedly seized a range of items intended for so-called “freak offs,” which included drugs and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil.
In a documentary titled “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment,” produced by TMZ Studios, Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, suggested that the rapper purchased the baby oil in bulk from Costco.
This claim prompted a swift response from the wholesale corporation, which stated that none of its locations in the United States carry baby oil.
“None of the company’s US locations carry baby oil,” Costco clarified in a statement to TMZ.
Diddy is currently facing serious legal troubles after being arrested by Homeland Security on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and interstate transportation for prostitution.
Despite these allegations, Diddy has maintained his innocence, entering a not-guilty plea on September 17.
His legal challenges have not only drawn public scrutiny but have also resulted in the rejection of his bail requests on two separate occasions.
As the case continues to unfold, the implications for Diddy and his career remain significant, with fans and industry observers watching closely for further developments.
The situation raises critical discussions about accountability and the serious nature of the charges against him, highlighting the complexities of fame and legal issues in the entertainment industry.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
