The customer is not always right — especially when it comes to allegations regarding alleged purchases reportedly used in scandalous “freak offs.”

Earlier this week, Sean “Diddy” Combs, the man behind many of the greatest 90s rap hits, was arrested and charged with three criminal counts in a federal indictment, accusing the music mogul of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The recording artist pleaded not guilty during his arraignment hearing and was denied bail.

Almost immediately after Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo of Agnifilo Intrater, suggested that his client’s sizeable cache of baby oil was purchased at Costco, the beloved bulk retailer stepped forward to issue a statement denying the attorney’s assertions.

During a raid of the rapper’s homes, federal prosecutors claim that more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil were found, and that the oil was allegedly used during sex parties. If you recall, Agnifilo said of his client’s shopping habits, “He buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home.”

In a statement given to TMZ, a Costco spokesperson said that none of the store’s locations in the U.S. sell baby oil. As noted by the New York Post, Sam’s Club, a rival warehouse store, doesn’t sell baby oil either.

Combs is currently being detained while he awaits trial, but his baby oil ain’t goin’ nowhere, ’cause he’s an alleged Bad Boy who may be sentenced to life.
