Landon Barker was unaware of Diddy-themed gag at party he attended and 'didn't participate', claims source

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Travis Barker's son Landon Barker just celebrated his 21st birthday in Los Angeles, and let's just say things got pretty wild.

Turns out, the young musician ended up at a controversial after-party and his stepmom Kourtney Kardashian was “mortified” by the whole thing, sources said.

Landon Barker dined at Nobu, then things got weird

Landon Barker kicked off his 21st birthday with a nice family dinner at Nobu in Malibu. It was hosted by Kourtney Kardashian, 45, and Travis Barker, 48, and seemed like a chill celebration. But after the sushi and family time wrapped up, Landon and his friends decided to keep the night going at Harriet's Rooftop Lounge in West Hollywood. That’s where things took a weird turn.

At Harriet’s, servers started handing out bottles of baby oil with flashing lights—a not-so-subtle nod to some serious accusations involving Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who had 1,000 bottles of baby oil found at his place during a recent arrest on sex trafficking charges. And someone at the party thought it would be a great idea to turn that into a theme.

One social media user called it out: “Landon Barker's 21st bday party... bottles of baby oil, obviously a joke about the Diddy situation. I think it's insensitive and gross.” And to make matters worse, there’s a video from the night where a DJ can be heard saying, "We’re getting really freaky tonight. We’re getting Diddy freaky tonight."

Here’s the twist: the party wasn’t even for Landon. An insider spilled the tea to People.

"The content that has surfaced from Wednesday night at Harriet’s Rooftop Lounge is from another individual's birthday," the source told the outlet. "Earlier, Landon had a small dinner at Nobu that was hosted by his father and stepmother, who then returned home. Landon and his friends then attended Harriet's."

The source also pointed out that Landon had no idea the baby oil bottles would be part of the night’s antics. “Nor was [Landon] aware that the servers would be presenting bottles of baby oil that night for someone else," they added, “He did not participate in the baby oil service and refused to engage.”

So what’s Landon up to now? Instead of addressing the awkward situation directly, he’s focused on his music. He’s gearing up for a show at the Bourbon Room in West Hollywood on October 18. On Instagram, he shared a black-and-white pic from a previous performance, captioning it, “My last concert with @xposureworld in 7 days.”

Diddy’s legal drama is no joke

The Diddy situation is quite serious. The 54-year-old music mogul is facing federal sex trafficking charges and several civil lawsuits. He’s pleaded “not guilty” to all charges, which include some heavy allegations like racketeering conspiracy.

Diddy's accusers claim that he used coercion and intimidation to exploit women over the years, with a network of associates helping him out. They’ve accused him of everything from physical assaults to kidnapping and blackmail. If convicted, Diddy could spend the rest of his life behind bars. His trial is set to commence on May 5, 2025.
