Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent sex trafficking trial verdict left many surprised, but the reactions of his supporters may have been even more baffling.
The New York City jury found the hip-hop mogul guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted him of more serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion.
Despite the possibility of a 20-year prison sentence and multiple civil lawsuits related to sexual assault allegations, Combs’ supporters outside the courtroom chose to celebrate in an unconventional manner.
CNN’s Laura Coates reported that individuals were seen pouring baby oil on each other outside the courthouse, referencing its significance in the “freak-offs” mentioned during the trial.
“You have people saying it’s not RICO, it’s freako,” Coates remarked, highlighting the peculiar nature of the celebration.
Witnesses confirmed the presence of baby oil festivities outside the courtroom, adding to the unusual scene following the trial.
