Diddy’s Attorney Believes Feds Indicted His Client To “Take Down A Successful Black Man”
Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo has been making headlines as he recently appeared in TMZ‘s Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment documentary.
A clip that has been circulating online shows Agnifilo giving his take that the federal government “started making their case against Diddy “as a take down of a successful Black man.” He added that the feds “are historically no friend of the successful Black man,” and that they are “scrutinizing” Diddy’s “business and his taxes,” as the music mogul “does everything right.”
Claiming that the Feds had nothing else on Diddy, Agnifilo added that as a “last vestige,” they are attacking “the way he is having sex.”
Earlier this week Agnifilo also gave his reasoning on why there may have been a bulk of baby oil found during the raiding of Diddy’s homes.
While speaking to the New York Post (Sept. 21), Agnifilo downplayed Diddy’s “freak offs” and also said that he doesn’t believe the music mogul bought “1,000” bottles. He also cited the retailer Costco as a source of where he could have bought the product in bulk, even though the store doesn’t sell the body moisturizer.
“I don’t think it was 1,000,” he began. “I think there was a lot. There’s a Costco right down the street [from Diddy’s house]. You know, I think Americans buy in bulk as we know… this is consensual adults doing what consensual adults do. We can’t get so puritanical in this country to think that some how sex is a bad thing, because if it was, there would be no more people.”
Doubling down on his stance, Agnifilo also spoke about the matter with TMZ for Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment. As Harvey Levin explained how Diddy could have used the baby oil as “a lubricant for an orgy,” Agnifilo responded, “I guess. One bottle of baby oil goes a long way. I don’t know what you need a thousand for.”
He continued, “[Diddy] has a big house. He buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home. I mean, have you sat in a parking lot of a Costco and see what people walk out of there with? I don’t think it was a thousand. Let’s just say it was a lot.”
Since then, Costco has clarified and confirmed that they don’t sell baby oil in any of their locations across the country.
The 54-year-old was arrested on Sept. 16 at a hotel in New York City by officers following a grand jury indictment. Diddy was then arraigned in a federal court in Manhattan the following day and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Diddy has pleaded “not guilty” to all charges and has been denied bail twice. He returns to court on Oct. 9.
