A video of Diddy telling partygoers to stay âlotioned upâ has resurfaced following his arrest for sex trafficking and racketeering.
On Thursday (October 3), TMZ obtained footage of the Bad Boy boss making the comments while hosting a party at his Los Angeles home in 2022, the night after he received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BET Awards.

Much scrutiny has been placed on Diddyâs parties and alleged penchant for lotion in the wake of his sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
At the heart of the case are the mogulâs alleged âfreak offs,â where he forced women to have sex with male prostitutes while he masturbated to and recorded the encounters, according to prosecutors.

The federal indictment revealed that evidence of these freak offs was seized during the raids on his homes earlier this year, including video footage of the sex sessions and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil.
Diddyâs lawyer Marc Agnifilo disputed this figure, although he did attempt to explain his clientâs enormous stash of lubricant by saying he buys in bulk.

âHe has a big house, he buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home,â the attorney told TMZ for their Tubi documentary The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment.
However, Costco later refuted Agnifiloâs claim, pointing out that they do no stock baby oil.
In any case, Diddyâs alleged baby oil has provided more ammo for his longtime nemesis 50 Cent, who has been mercilessly mocking the mogul since he was first accused of sexual assault last year.
After the revelation was made public, 50 trolled Diddy by posting a photo from his recent appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show and writing: âHere I am keeping good company with [Drew Barrymore] and I donât have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house.â

The G-Unit general later uploaded an edited photo of a bottle of baby oil that was renamed to âDiddy Oil,â captioning the post: âComing soon! LOL.â
Diddy has yet to specifically address the baby oil claims himself, although he has denied any criminal wrongoing and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
