Jimmy Kimmel wants to set the record straight ahead of Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s upcoming documentary about Sean “Diddy” Combs: Costco did not sell Diddy the alleged 1,000 bottles of baby oil used in his “Freak Offs.”
Kimmel slammed Diddy’s attorney for trying to “put quite a spin” on the news that feds found 1,000 bottles of baby oil in the music mogul’s homes during a federal raid.
“I don’t think it was a 1,000, I think it was a lot,” attorney Marc Agnifilo recently told the TMZ. “I mean, there’s a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know.”
“‘Americans buy in bulk?”” Kimmel repeated incredulously. “Don’t blame Costco for this! I know Costco, Costco is a very good friend of mine.”
He ranted, “I’ve been a Costco member since 1992 when it was Price Club. I know every item they have at Costco. The first thing I thought when I saw that clip was Costco doesn’t have baby oil.”
Kimmel said he even checked the Costco website to see if they carry baby oil, confirming that they don’t sell it online or in stores. “You know why? Because no one has 25 babies to oil!” he said.
He added, “Costco doesn’t carry baby oil for the same reason they don’t carry bolt cutters: Unless you’re up to no good, you only need one.” He added that they sell most other types of oil, including olive, avocado, coconut, and motor.
Combs was federally indicted on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. According to the grand jury indictment, Combs stands accused of organizing “Freak Off” parties filled with drugs and sex in which victims were forced to participate and were subjected to “physical, emotional, and verbal abuse.”
The indictment notes law enforcement seized “various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” while raiding his homes in Miami and Los Angeles.
The prospect that 50 Cent will be continuing his decades-long feud with Diddy by creating a documentary series about his alleged crimes seemed to impress Kimmel.
Netflix reportedly beat out other streamers and platforms in a bidding war to nab the documentary, which could be streaming soon.
“50 has been feuding with Diddy for almost 20 years. And now 50 will be making a documentary for Netflix about Diddy. Let’s see Kendrick [Lamar] top that one!” he said.
“I have to say we’ve come a long way since Biggie and Tupac,” he added. “Now we settle blood feuds on the same platform that brings us The Great British Baking Show.“
Another documentary series about Diddy’s alleged crimes is also being developed by Investigation Discovery and Rolling Stone. The series will feature archival footage, original reporting from Rolling Stone, and first-hand accounts from the alleged victims and his former associates, according to Billboard.
