00:00New details are coming out regarding Diddy's case and it's not what anyone has expected,

00:04which is now Costco apparently getting involved.

00:07Just one day after Diddy's lawyer Mark Agnifillo suggested that 1,000 bottles of baby oil seized

00:11from Diddy's homes might have been purchased from the retail giant, a spokesperson for

00:15the company is setting the record straight.

00:18That's right, a Costco spokesperson actually told TMZ that quote, none of their U.S. stores

00:22carry baby oil.

00:24This clarification comes amid questions about how authorities arrived at the quantity of

00:27baby oil mentioned in the indictment unsealed on September 17th.

00:31Diddy's lawyer previously expressed skepticism of the portrayal of the quantity when the

00:35reports came out initially saying quote, I can't imagine it's thousands.

00:40He also went on to say one bottle of baby oil apparently went a long way.

00:44When he was pressed by TMZ about the potential use of baby oil, he stated he didn't understand

00:48why someone would actually need 1,000 bottles.

00:51The lawyer further suggested that Diddy, who has multiple homes, might just buy it in bulk.

00:56Ultimately, Agnifillo denied that 1,000 bottles of baby oil were found in Diddy's home, saying

01:00it was just a lot.

01:02Combs is currently in jail awaiting trial on serious charges including racketeering,

01:06conspiracy and sex trafficking.

01:08His next court appearance is set for October 9th.

01:11Federal agents executed a search warrant at Diddy's properties both in Los Angeles and

01:15Miami earlier this year as part of the ongoing investigation.

01:19Despite these serious allegations, Diddy has publicly denied any wrongdoings, claiming

01:22the accusations are part of a quote, witch hunt for financial gain.
